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

It tells you at the bottom of that link
