DHS Reports 94% of Deportations are Terror Threats and Gangbangers
The Department of Homeland Security offered up a strange counter-argument to the “open border” issue by saying that 94% of the illegals deported are a terror threat and gangbangers – as if that’s a sign of their “success.”
Although, in truth, those stats logically calls into question how many of these “threats and terror suspects” are making it through our porous borders.
From Washington Examiner:
Immigration officials, pushing back on charges they have left the border open, said Friday that they have deported hundreds of thousands this year and that 94 percent of those targeted are here illegally, pose a terror threat, or are gang members.
In a year end report, the Department of Homeland Security revealed some stunning numbers that they suggested shows success in the war on illegal immigration.
In a call and on a fact sheet, the administration said that it began taking action against 805,071 illegals.
It deported or removed 450,950 and arrested 530,250 individuals nationwide. “ICE and CBP repatriated a total of 450,954 individuals in FY 2016, which consisted of 344,354 removals and 106,600 returns. Overall, 94 percent of removals and returns were classified within a Priority 1,” which includes national security threats, illegals, and gang members, said DHS.

BS article. The agents at the border say that when they turn illegals away Barry counts them as a deportation. As usual, Barry screws with the numbers to make himself look good.
Bullshit! Lies. We’re NOT stupid!
