‘Frontline’ Investigates Obama’s Record DeportationsPosted on Oct 20, 2011
This year the United States will deport 400,000 immigrants, a million since Obama took office, says PBS’ “Frontline” in a groundbreaking investigation of the president’s immigration policies. In short: Obama makes George W. Bush look soft. Watch Lost in Detention on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

I’m puzzled as to why PBS would think this is a problem.
Report thisIsn’t that what countries do with foreign nationals who are within their borders illegally- deport them?

Well I guess 400K is a start. Love the article i saw today prematurely trumpeting
Report thishow white Arizonans won’t take fleeing illegal’s agri jobs - because they’re too
lazy and inexperienced. Besides being a nice piece of reverse racism (imagine the
lefty howl had the accusation been reversed), it of course didn’t mention the
obvious; depressed pay scales for those jobs due to mexican labor for whom the
hourly pittance is a king’s ransom in their homeland. Until that artificial wage
ceiling self-adjusts through supply and demand, they’ll be wondering why their
fields are empty. so be it - let the adjustment come. It’s high time this industry
cuts the chord on its special treatment of over-cheap labor and pays its dues like
the rest. yes, produce prices may rise some, but at least the people buying it will
have jobs.
