According to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) the Massachusetts’ immigration court had the lowest deportation rate of any U.S. state last year while ranking as one of the top states in granting asylum to illegal aliens.
The state hit an all-time deportation low of only 26.9%, the national average is at 46.4%. Yet, it granted 75% of the asylum claims, ranking it the third highest asylum approval rate in the nation.
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, said low deportation rates reflect Obama administration policy changes that favor immigrants.
