Obama Deports Innocent Criminals

President Barack Obama's administration was bombarded with criticism from Latinos who feel the new harsh deportation policies doesn't represent the American way. To demonstrate disapproval, a "day of protest" was organized by many Latino activists.

Under the Obama administration, the officials of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) have enforced a program called Secure Communities. The program aims to detain and deport undocumented citizens they come across through routine traffic stops and other major or minor violations of the law.

When you take into consideration that over one million illegal aliens have since been deported to their native countries, many people are in favor of supporting continued enforcement of the Secure Communities Program. A majority of those deported are drug lords, sex offenders and convicted felons, but others whose "crimes" seem miniscual and forgiveable are feeling personally the ruthless policies of ICE's program.

"Critics say it results in the deportations of immigrants who are in the United States illegally but have no criminal arrest records." Among the one million who have been deported are many mothers of American children who are forced out of their homes because of an insignificant and innocent violation of the law.
