Obama changed how they calculate deportations to include those stopped and turned around at the border. This inflated his tough credentials with a lie.
My guess is less people are trying to cross as has been reported and therefore "deportations" are down

There are so many less they aren't even manning the check points on the local freeways.

I don't think that is true, but what I said is true.
A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data.
Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.
On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's deportation statistics.
The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now.
The Obama administration lied. They deceived the public by changing how they count deportations, so deportations were actually DOWN under Obama, but were recorded as UP under Obama. This made him look tougher and took ammo away from the right via Obama's deception of changing what they consider a deportation to include turning someone away at the border - ie scaring someone off of the fence while climbing it, etc....as a "deportation."
Illegal border crossings are down 64% under Trump.
This means that even if Trump keeps Obama's deceptive measurement, Trump's numbers are likely to plummet, because there are tens of thousands of less people to turn away at the border and count as a "deportation."
Its called "SELF DEPORTATION". Illegal aliens crossing our border are down 70% and Canada is freaking out at all the illegal aliens flooding their border because they are afraid to live in the USA
The people attempting to get into Canada are almost entirely US citizens. Hate to break it to you but to many high performing Americans (think the cream of the crop) having Donald Trump as President is a bridge too far.
