Deportation
Keven Drum and Bryan Caplan have been trying to analyze deportation of illegal immigrants and how presidents rank in doing so. The numbers, of course, are not hard numbers but the approximations are reasonable. This is approximate, since the total population of illegal immigrants is a little fuzzy before 2000. But it's pretty close. the numbers are further confused by the inclusion of illegals turned away at the border in "deportations" by some--especially Obama. This chart looks at gross numbers vs. percentage of illegals in the U.S..
Obama still has a higher removal rate and a lower index rate than any other president, but the winner for the title of Deporter-in-Chief is...Ronald Reagan. Every president since then has been successively more tolerant of a large undocumented population.
