President Obama has expanded Secure Communities to over 3,000 Jurisdictions, a 21,429% increase

Alex Nowrasteh just wrote an article that appeared in Forbes Magazine appropriately titled Obama: Deporter in Chief.  In it he provides some jaw dropping statistics to support his conclusion, many of which have been printed over the past year in this blog:

• Since taking office President Obama has expanded SCOMM to over 3,000 jurisdictions in the United States, a 21,429% increase in jurisdictional reach.
• In 3.5 years President Obama has deported more people than during the first six and a half years of George W. Bush’s administration.
• The backlog for pending deportation cases has risen to a record 314,147 this June.
• The “Morton Memo” only resulted in the favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion in a mere 5684 cases (1.9% of all cases reviewed).
• Obama has increased remote worksite audits, and silent raids, as well as increasing fines and arrests for business owners violating immigration employment regulations.
