Border Arrests Top 50,000, For 3 Months in a Row

WASHINGTON - U.S. border agents made more than 50,000 arrests in May for the third month in a row, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday, an indication that escalating enforcement tactics by the Trump administration - including separating migrant parents from their children - has not had an immediate deterrent effect.

DHS took 51,912 migrants into custody in May, more than three times the number detained in May 2017, a period when illegal immigration plunged following Donald Trump's inauguration.

Border arrests remain near peak of Trump era

How do those #'s stack up in the past decade? You know, when Obama "The Deporter in Chief" was in office?

By my back of the napkin math, Obama deported roughly 27,000 per month for the entire 8 years he was in office. Bush deported 20,000.

However this is an average over 8 years divided into 12 months. There are peak seasons for immigration just like anything else.

In 2017 we had a 27% reduction in border arrest when compared to previous years. So we will have to wait and see for 2018.
