Obama-Era Laws Allow 88% of Border Crossers to Evade Deportation
The US Department of Justice revealed that border-crossers entering the US have an 88% chance of evading immediate deportation by claiming “credible fear” in their native country. Between 2009 and 2016 credible-fear claims increased from 3,000 cases to nearly 70,000 cases. [This obviously is a loophole placed into the law to defeat its announced purpose and, so far, neither Congress nor the Trump administration have done anything to change it.]
