Yet another obama lie exposed: DHS cooking the books on deportations....

I will say that I am more open to an immigration deal than other conservatives. I just don't like it when presidents lie about their records by cooking the books.

Yes, but it is still a deportation. And that is what seems to be the process that is being taken.

My reading from the article was that this was not the scenario being described

No, it sounds like border patrol agents apprehended them on or near the US border and sent them back home. Border agents are not immigration officials who can assess a person's immigration status and "deport" them for overstaying their Visa, or committing crimes that result in their deportation. Border agents work the border, not the interior of the US. They are not an arm of the immigration court system like ICE.

All About the Deportation Process

this is a senseless argument, apprehension at the border is not the same as deportation thru our immigration courts.

Nothing says it is.
