But the British have co-opted it. It’s now as English as burritos are American. ---

I don’t care enough to read the whole thread at this time, but I found [this](http://fusion.net/story/252637/obama-has-deported-more-immigrants-than-any-other-president-now-hes-running-up-the-score/). > [@](#): > > Since coming to office in 2009, Obama’s government has deported more than 2.5 million people—up 23% from the George W. Bush years. More shockingly, Obama is now on pace to deport more people than the sum of all 19 presidents who governed the United States from 1892-2000, according to government data. ---

More shockingly, Obama is now on pace to deport more people than the sum of all 19 presidents who governed the United States from 1892-2000, according to government data. Doing a little thumbnail math, that means that Dubyah deported over 2 million, and Obama is on pace for a little over 2.8 million. I have more than a little trouble believing that there were only 800K deportations over more than a century. ---

I have more than a little trouble believing that there were only 800K deportations over more than a century. The quote says “the sum of all 19 presidents who governed the United States from 1892-2000” which excludes Dubya’s two million (or whatever it is). ---
