Obama's record high rate of deportations draws concern

[PeshakJang]

It was mentioned in an earlier thread that Obama has set a record for number of illegal immigrants deported, even as illegal immigration is declining.

And in those same threads, I showed that it was a bullshit claim... basically a flat-out lie. The numbers can't be disputed.

But hey... it's not a lie if Obama says it.

This is basically how the Democratic party has existed during the last 10 years:

1. Bitch about a Republican policy
2. Claim Obama will do the opposite
3. Excuse Obama when he continues the same policy
4. Claim Obama is doing the same things better
5. Lie about the numbers, facts, and figures

This example is a perfect case. Obama has done LESS to deport illegals, and the claims are a cross between number manipulation and flat out lying. Facts are facts.

Same poster. Amazed. What is it with claiming "record" levels of stuff under Obama, when 5 years ago it would have been used to campaign against Bush?

Bad:

Record oil drilling under Bush!
Record deportation under Bush!
Record night raids under Bush!

Good:

Record oil drilling under Obama!
Record deportation under Obama!
Record night raids under Obama!

Fucking pathetic.

If enough illegal aliens are being deported that Latino/Hispanic groups are getting concerned, then we're doing something right.
