Home : Issues this Week : Who is being Deported?

Four hundred thousand deportations of future would-be citizens in one year, sent back to go where they came from. How does this echo the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, at the entrance to the harbor? How does she feel about it? Quote: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost, to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

-John McLaughlin

 

Deportation of illegal immigrants has been on the rise since the year 2001, when 120,000 were deported. Last year's deportation number was a record setter: 396,000 deported. President Obama said this quote, We focus and use discretion about whom to prosecute, focusing on criminals who endanger our communities rather than students who are earning their education. And today deportation of criminals is up 80 percent. Unquote.
