Crackdown on Illegal Immigrants Continues
If there’s one thing President Obama was known for, it was deporting illegal immigrants. On Capitol Hill, he was jokingly referred to as the “Deporter and Chief”. Obama deported more people than any other president in the history of the United States. Deportation, detention, and immigration bonds were all a common part of the Obama administration.
It seems that President Trump has taken to deporting illegal immigrants with as much fervor as his predecessor.
US Immigration Bonds and Insurance Services is located just a few miles from Miami, which until recently has been a sanctuary city and a major focal point in harboring and deporting illegal immigrants from the surrounding areas. As a Fort Lauderdale immigration bonds company, we have seen the affects the current immigration climate has created. In terms of deporting illegal immigrants, these are the facts.
- About 5% of the working US population is made up of illegal immigrants.
- Judges let roughly 32% of all illegal immigrants who are detained, remain in the United States for different reasons.
- Deporting illegal immigrants is costing the US government roughly $3 billion each year, and the travel ban and wall may cost even more.
Immigration bond companies in South Florida are dealing with more cases than ever before. Although deportation agencies like ICE are not conducting mass raids, they are visiting the homes of suspected illegals and arresting, and deporting illegal immigrants they find.
The Trump administration is talking about creating a bill that would be “soft on both sides” of the immigration discussion in the next few months. The plan might be to grant higher status to current illegals and work on keeping more from coming in.
