Deportation Statistics
The latest news goes that the United States has actually changed the deportation rate by twice the number in the last 10 years. This statistics was found in the yearly book of the Department of Homeland Security. Most officials had accepted and said that many foreign nationals have been caught and stopped due to a number of reasons not just for very minor reasons, but also for some major reasons. |
Most of the times, some people have been constantly stopped by policemen every now and then while they drive. If found guilty, they are soon taken into immigration custody. Just two years ago, nearly 90% of total deportees were asked to leave North America. Most of out these turned out to be Mexican nationals. Nearly 80% turned out to be Mexico nationals. Later on, the statistics came down to 70% and the remaining was filled in by other nationals.
The other countries, which faced such a large number of deportees returning back were Honduras, Colombia, Guatemala and Dominican Republic. In the same year another 17% deportees were sent off to Honduras, which exceeded the previous number. Over 400 workers who were deported were from Guatemala. The main reason for this has been because of the immigration officials not knowing the procedure of dealing with immigrants. There was certain issue caused by Mexican nationals but towards the end they preferred voluntary departure. Most counter backs to this have been put on reasons like gambling, criminal records and so on. The famous categories of crime included assault, drug dealings and immigration violation.
Nearly 2/3rd of the deportation took place due to criminal cases. Other 1/3rd was due to lack of proper documents. The other major reasons for deportation were during sudden workplace raids. Most deportees happen to be either from Brazil or Jamaica followed by Canada as well as Ecuador. There are some other countries too who have faced this problem. The immigration department had budgets rising from $7.5 billion to $14.5 billion within just 6 years.
