Contrary to administration claims, only a tiny fraction of "border surge" illegals have been deported

At least 92 percent of the family arrivals in this sample of cases were released after apprehension rather than detained in the border area.

Nearly all of those released (5,575 out of 6,093 total families and UACs, or 91 percent) subsequently failed to appear at their immigration hearings and are now part of the illegal population.

According to these figures, 43 percent of those family members classified as “detained” (nine people) also failed to appear for their hearings, suggesting that they actually were released at some point.

Even under the current very generous interpretations of immigration law, only 3 percent of these illegal aliens were found qualified to stay in the United States (204 out of 6,093 completed cases).
