Immigration-flow numbers are staggering in both directions.

In 2014, it’s estimated that more than 200,000 Central Americans tried to emigrate to the United States without documentation. Since coming to office in 2009, Obama’s government has deported more than 2.5 million people—up 23% from the George W. And he’s not done yet.
