>But if you did include the number of people who "self-deported"

Obama does not initiate self-deportation though, so it's not really relevant to a discussion on the democrat's immigration policy

>I don't know what these two numbers from DHS reports actually mean and the DHS does not tell me

It tells you at the bottom of that link



view as:

There is no such thing as "self-deportation" in the statistics. There are just "removals" and "returns". All the DHS tells is that one is through force (presumably a court decision) and another is not. If someone is turned at the border without a court decision, is it a "self-deportaiton", "removal" or "return"? My guess it's a "return" in these stats.
