Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reports that the number of apprehensions of aliens illegally entering the U.S. from countries “other than Mexico” increased by 27% in 2013.
The 2013 statistics also include information on “removed population by citizenship.” Only 368,644 aliens were removed. Mexico still sends by far the greatest number of illegals, with 241,493 removals, followed by Guatemala (47,769), Honduras (37,049), and El Salvador (21,602). Many observers believe the increase in illegals from Central America has been sparked by Obama’s lax immigration enforcement policies and promises of amnesty.
