SMITH: If at first you don't succeed, fudge the results
So many things the government does are self-reported.
Add in merit raises and/or performance bonuses and now I'm a skeptic.
How about you?...

This was recently reported by U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith in the Washington Times:
"The Obama administration used questionable methods to achieve the record deportation numbers.
In fact, DHS‘ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) included more than 19,000 immigrants who had exited the previous fiscal year. ICE also continued operation of a Mexican repatriation program five weeks longer than it had done previously, allowing the agency to count at least 6,500 exits that otherwise would not have been included. ICE also used “voluntary return” to bolster deportation numbers, but this is not removal because it does not subject an illegal immigrant to penalties for returning to the United States.
Another media report highlights allegations by some local law enforcement and Border Patrol agents that they have been ordered to stop apprehending illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border."
