Is it true that Obama has deported more illegals than Bush ?

I have read several liberals stating that Obama has deported more ilegals than Bush did, yet Obama claims that figures are deceptive and that he has not. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/president-pander-the-statistics-are-actually-a-little-deceptive-obama-to-latinos-dont-worry-we-are-not-actually-deporting-more-illegals-than-bush/ Who is he pandering to?

Obama is attempting to pander to two audiences - the moderates who have deserted him in droves who think he should be defending our borders and deporting illegals. The other audience that he panders to frequently is hispanics, whom he thinks want him to promote amnesty and not deport illegals. Statistics show he is rapidly losing both groups. Since his underlings compile the numbers and he has flatly stated that he does not intend to deport illegals I doubt that this number is accurate.

He has attempted to enact the Dream Act by executive order which tells you how serious he actually is about deporting illegals. Despite the claim that he was a constitutional legal expert, he apparently does not understand that the President doesn't get to pick and choose which laws he prosecutes. Thankfully, we'll have a new President soon who can tackle this issue with better results.

No, Obama is too busy with vacations to do much of anything until now, when he started campaigning again.
In fact, the Dems now say that if the illegals are not wanted for some crime, ignore them. Don't care to lose them votes, you know.
Never mind the fact they committed a crime by being here illegally.

Bush was just as bad as Obummer about guarding the border. They both are a disgrace to the US no regard for the safety of the american people.

Not what he said. By the definition of "deportation" he HAS deported more illegals, but he made the distinction between deporting illegals living in this country and catching people as they cross the border, which also counts as a "deportation".

So, in other words, your "question" is misleading. He hasn't pandered to anyone.

Try reading a credible source.

I doubt either one of them deported anybody. They are too busy for that.
