What about this though?
I think you should look up what a deportation really is.
Catching people within 100 miles of the border, is not deportation.
I'm not one for copy and paste facts.. but here you go.
.........
Since two-thirds of removals were not interior deportations but border apprehensions, let’s focus on
the 133,000 removals that are more commonly understood as deportations. 10 Of the 133,000 interior
removals in FY13, ICE reports 82%, or 110,000, were convicted criminals. ICE further reports that 80,000 of the 110,000 were convicted of a felony (including 53,000 convicted of one or more aggravated felonies). The remaining 30,000 were convicted of a crime less than a felony but in most cases, according to ICE, had also either absconded or re-entered the country illegally after
being deported (a felony). Altogether, 60% of all convicted criminals removed by ICE had either been previously deported and returned to this country whereupon they committed a crime, or had been released after being apprehended by immigration authorities and fled, becoming a fugitive.
So, we are left with roughly 23,000 interior removals which, according to ICE, don’t have a known criminal conviction in the U.S. on their record. Of those 23,000, ICE reports that 13,000 are either fugitives or habitual offenders/previous deportees. That leaves only 10,000 removals out of 368,000 removals—or just 2%—who were seemingly removed/returned for immigration crimes without additional serious offenses such as being felons or fugitives. However, according to the National ICE Council, many of these were security red flags for other reasons (for instance, they had been in and out of jail for serious offenses without a conviction) and the field office was able to overcome “prosecutorial discretion” to secure a removal.
As previously established, of the 12 million current illegal immigrants and visa overstays, approximately 0.2% were removed who did not have a criminal conviction and approximately 0.08%
were removed who were not habitual offenders/previous deportees or convicted criminals. Yet now, per the ICE committee, those instances may be further reduced towards 0%—which would represent a nearly complete prohibition against everyday immigration enforcement and would erase the core
distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
