Joaquin on Obama's immigration "reforms":
There will almost certainly a change in immigration enforcement policies, if
not an overall deal on immigration reform, as the current level of
repression is economically untenable, and has been sustained thus far only
because of the slide into recession (and a real depression in the housing
sector). BTW Obama is on record saying he wants comprehensive immigration
reform DONE in his first year in office. The problem for the ruling class is
simply choosing between legalization and guest worker, or more precisely,
how little legalization and how much guest worker they can get away with.
That will be worked out in Congress.

Trump deportations lag behind Obama levels
By TED HESSON 08/08/2017 08:35 PM EDT
The U.S. is deporting people more slowly than during the Obama
administration despite President Donald Trump’s vast immigration
crackdown, according to new data from U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.
From Feb. 1 to June 30, ICE officials removed 84,473 people — a rate of
roughly 16,900 people per month. If deportations continue at the same
clip until the fiscal year ends Sept. 30, federal immigration officials
will have removed fewer people than they did during even the slowest
years of Barack Obama's presidency.
In fiscal year 2016, ICE removed 240,255 people from the country, a rate
of more than 20,000 people per month.
In fiscal year 2012 — the peak year for deportations under Obama — the
agency removed an average of roughly 34,000 people per month.
