administration can say, look how many criminals we ve deported. why do you think that s the case? it s about how many people we deported. despite all of the rhetoric, it clearly tells the agents population that can be quickly deported and the key or emphasis is not on criminality. as a result, it will suffer. they are going mainly after criminals they say. you used to run the agency and i want to get to the implementation in a moment. look at the numbers. this compares how many undocument undocumented immigrants were deported under president obama, about 3 million. and about a million fewer were deported under president bush. laraza, an immigration group,
what s your view? how will you combat that? i think that s part of the reason we timed this resignation to this time we recognize that, that there is a real danger here, we recognize that anything coming of this president s mouth we have to take seriously. if you look at who he surrounded himself with cabinet wick wise. that s why i have chose tony leave the commission. my work is better done to resist from the outside, fight back against policies. i have attended rallies in new york city against the muslim ban. i stood on the steps saying i do not believe this this ban. i was wearing a hat that said i advise the president, a president who won t listen the our concerns. i can t do that anymore. we have to stand outside of the white house and fight back. according to api data, one out of sevenationan american pacific islander immigrants are undocument. we have an immigration ban that came out. how has the api reacted to that?
