Muslim nations supplied 2 percent of unauthorized immigrants but a 31.4 percent deportation increase

Evidence

In 2003, the Chicago Tribune reported that only 2 percent of the unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. had come from the twenty-four predominantly Muslim nations; this group, however, saw a 31.4 percent increase in deportation orders after 2001. Further, 98 percent of the unauthorized immigrants were from all other countries but saw only a 3.4 percent increase in deportation orders. — Junaid Rana, Terrifying Muslims, 774
