The big selling point of President Obama’s campaign was that he is allegedly different from the status quo at the time, i.e. Former President Bush. But now over one year later, a look at the immigration enforcement numbers tells us that he is NOT so different after all. In fact, the immigration prosecutions under President Obama’s regime are higher than Bush’s immigration enforcement.
To begin, President Obama is sending 1200 National Guard troops out as we speak to help with enforcing our borders. In addition, even immigrants and illegal immigrants with minor criminal violations like driving offenses are being arrested and deported at record highs. Some have even called President Obama’s immigration policy to be a “Carbon Copy of Bush’s” immigration policy.
The reality is that now in the US, immigration enforcement is the new immigration reform of 2010.
