Obama Chastised on Deportation Quotas

From Presente.org

Presente.org is appalled at recent revelations demonstrating clearly that the Obama Administration is using deportation quotas. More disconcerting is the fact that most of the people targeted by the Obama Administration are immigrants with no criminal record and who have committed no serious crimes that merit being designated as “criminals.”

“The revelations about the Obama Administration’s deportation quotas are shocking, but not a suprise” said Arturo Carmona, Executive Director of Presente.org. “Anyone who knows the hard working people that the Administration is calling ‘criminals,’ who are being jailed by the thousands and deported by the millions, knows that government officials have such internal quotas. Other officials do an injustice to us all when they repeat false claims that there is some sort of legal mandate to deport 400,000 people a year. There’s not. And now everybody can see the ‘bonuses,’ deceit and dirty politics behind the immigrant tragedy.”
