The Obama administration has been showing major changes in terms of immigration enforcement efforts since the beginning of the last fiscal year. The current administration is reported to have already spent more money on immigration than any other federal law enforcement agency.
The government spent about $18 billion on immigration enforcement programs run by ICE, US-Visit Program and Customs and Border Protection. This is what the Migration Policy Institute report revealed.
The US already spent more than $187 billion on immigration enforcement since the day the Immigration Reform and Control Act was signed by former President Ronald Reagan. Since then, the increase of immigration related crimes has outnumbered other cases in the country.
It is believed that no other nation in the world has shown such determination and commitment in immigration enforcement as the US under the Obama Administration. Critics who used to think that the current administration has been soft on their immigration policies and enforcement are surely now reconsidering their opinions.
