2007 ICE Numbers
Posted by Raven on January 15th, 2008
Here’s what the Bush administration did last year with immigration enforcement (link is a PDF file):
Deported 276,912 illegal aliens.
Initiated 1,309 immigration document and benefit fraud investigations, leading to 1,531 document-related arrests and 1,178 convictions.
Made 4,077 administrative arrests and 863 criminal arrests in connection with worksite immigration enforcement. Secured civil fines and judgments in excess of $30 million against employers that violated immigration laws.
Arrested 1,558 visa status violators.
Began screening for criminal aliens among existing inmate populations at all 114 federal prisons. Initiated deportation proceedings against 164,296 incarcerated aliens.
The first one- those 276,000 plus deported was a record breaker. Some very interesting reading and we should be very interested.
