More of this? Record Deportations Under Obama, Including Many Helpless Children Fleeing Violence

Bernie Sanders challenges Hillary on deportations:

“If my memory is correct, when we saw children coming from these horrendous areas of Honduras and neighboring countries, people who are fleeing drug violence and cartel violence. ... I thought it was a good idea to allow these children to stay in this country. That was not as I understand, the Secretary’s position," Sanders said at the Democratic presidential debate in Wisconsin.

Clinton, a former secretary of State, fired back that America needed to "send a message" to Central American families

Obama's words didn't do much for immigrants rights activists, who have taken to calling him the "deporter in chief"

the Obama administration is either flirting with or has crossed the 2 million deportation mark. It took George W. Bush, whose administration faced greater political pressure to clamp down on immigration, nearly two full terms to reach that number; Obama hit it in slightly more than one

"Any day now, this administration will reach the 2 million mark for deportations," said Janet Murguia, the head of the National Council of La Raza, when she criticized Obama earlier this month. "It is a staggering number that far outstrips any of his predecessors and leaves behind it a wake of devastation for families across America."

many deportations involve parents of US-born children.

Between July 2010 and mid-October 2012, the most recent period with data available, people with US-born children were deported more than 200,000 times.

In a March 2012 report to Congress, ICE estimated that about 100,000 parents of US-born children were deported between 1997 and 2007.many deportations involve parents of US-born children....
