ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Do you know the difference between a removal and a return? Removal is a formal court proceeding in which the individual is prosecuted, documented, then deported if found guilty. Commonly they are housed in a US holding facility several days to upwards of a week, before stepping before a judge, then being deported while being legally branded as a 'removal' preventing them from legally entering the country for a period of time (5-10 years) Return is when an individual which has been found as being illegal simply chooses to accept that they are caught and leaves of their own will and withdraws their applications for visa. No court proceeding is formed and punishment is usually more clerical (don't apply again for 30 days) the Bush administration started the trend of not giving a people the option to voluntarily return, especially with border crossing as an attempt to document and track these illegal aliens, and to identify potential threats that might be entering the country. the Obama administration re-tooled this system effectively treating all border crossing immigrants as felons and identifying them as priority 1 cases which has produced a massive spike in the apparent deportation of 'High Priority' aliens, while at the same time resulting in the lowest deportation rates since Nixon. So, it's a good thing, right? Instead of letting them leave on their own, they get prosecuted and removed, which is worse than a return, even if the are simply caught crossing the border illegally. This graphic, while stating they are "deportations," is a graphic of "removals." Obviously, not an all-time low, is it? No... because it doesn't serve any purpose aside from simply bloating the value of Removals. This is because the 'Punishment' for removals is that they cannot legally enter the country for 5-10 years... And well considering that you just caught them for trying to illegally trying to enter the country (as in they where not trying to legally enter in the first place) this punishment literally does nothing. It is like catching a Pedophile, Labeling him a Pedophile, then dropping him off in front of a grade school. Furthermore - if you pull up actual numbers of Deportations (Returns + Removals) you actually get quiet a different image. He has Half the Deportations then the previous 2 Presidents.
