Original Note:
The claim that Bill Clinton deported 12M people is misleading. Only ~870K were formally deported; the rest left voluntarily after being apprehended. The number includes returns, not just removals, making it inaccurate to compare with later deportation figures. https://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/ted-cruz-on-deportations
