U.S. Deportations Continue at Record Pace Despite Lower Migration 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
New figures show the United States is on pace to approach the record
number of deportations of undocumented immigrants seen last year. The
Department of Homeland Security says it has deported 366,000 people with
just one month left in fiscal 2012. Nearly 392,000 immigrants were
deported in fiscal 2011, despite illegal border crossings of migrants
dropping to a 40-year low.
