Total deportations of illegal aliens have declined 42 percent since 2012. The Obama Administration claims that it cut back on enforcement in general in order to focus on deporting illegal aliens criminals who pose a danger to public safety. But since the administration took office, the percentage of these criminals in relation to all deportations has only risen from 56 percent to 59 percent. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that Obama's deportation policies are too harsh.

More than one in five U.S. residents, totaling more than 63.2 million people, speaks a language other than English at home--reports a recent study by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) which used data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that employment of immigrants increased by 14,000 in September. Employment of native-born Americans declined by 262,000. The BLS also found that a record number of 94.6 million (ages 16 and over) were not in the labor force. Many in that total are retired or not interested in finding work.

Between 2009 and 2013 between 1.5 and 1.7 million illegal aliens settled in the United States, according to the Center for Migration Studies and the Pew Research Center. Since 2013, reports the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS,) an additional 790,000 have joined them, thus making a making a total of 2.5 new arrivals million since 2009. Nevertheless, the total in the country between 2009 and 2015 has stayed in the range of between 11 and 12 million. The reason, CIS explains, is that a decline of illegal aliens numbers has more or less offset the increase. That decline is the consequence of three factors: illegal returning home, their change of status to legal residency, and their natural mortality. CIS concludes that illegal immigration is far from under control, and that if it were stopped, we would see a significant reduction in the total illegal population.

Pope Francis told Congress that the U.S. must open its doors to immigrants and "not be taken aback by their numbers." But as head of state of the Vatican, he presides over a very different policy. As The Washington Times reports, "[The Vatican] government has possibly the most restrictive immigration and citizenship policies of any nation in the world." The report goes on to note that "The Vatican . . . welcomes millions of visitors a year--but allows only a very select few, who meet strict criteria, to be admitted as residents or citizens. Only about 450 of its 800 or so residents actually hold citizenship, according to a 2012 study by the Library of Congress. That study said citizens are either church cardinals who reside in the Vatican, the Holy See's diplomats around the world, and those who have to reside in the city because of their jobs, such as the Swiss Guard."
