Illegal immigrants set free from detention centers as sequester approaches
2013-02-27
The sequester is officially still three days away, but the Obama administration already is making the first cuts, with officials confirming that the Homeland Security Department already has released several hundred illegal immigrants from detention in order to save money.

#19  Embarrassingly amaturish. Even people not paying attention will get it.

#18  He's creating a colossal train wreck that he will jump in and "fix" with an Executive Order.

Betcha!

#17  Classic commie move right out of Castro's playbook.

Round them back up and drop them off in front of sasha and malika's school

#16  It is my understanding that the National Guard can be called up by State Governors for domestic emergencies.

My understanding is that the number of illegals/criminals being released by Obama's Department of Homeland Security, a cabinet level department that Obama is molding into a group that could counter the National Guard, the number of illegals being released by the DHS is 10,000.

The proper approach is for Governors to call up the guard to apprehend the illegals. Followed up with the writing of articles of impeachment.

#15  Might as well arm them too. Ya know, to find out where they go.

#14  Probably signed them up for Welfare, SSI, and registered them to vote before cutting them loose.

#11  This is the same kind of crap all municipalities and most states do when they have a budget shortfall - threaten the critical items (like Defense, Border Security, etc...) to force higher taxes to save their pet projects (Welfare, ObumbleCare, etc...).

The first thing that should be cut is any and all 'earmark' spending - that is almost total waste. Then start chopping anything the Federal government is doing that it has no authority to do (in other words enforce the 10th Admendment): Education, Environment Protection, FDA, ObamaCare, Health and Human Services, Welfare.

The absolute last things which should be cut is Defense - including Border Security (which is essentially what this is all about).

#8  Everyone of these pogs in the administration should give up their chauffered limos, security details, and vacations in the name of austerity. Congress should only meet once every two years such as in Texas in the interest of damage control.

#7  Despicable and traitorous scum.

#6  I guess putting them on greyhound busses and sending their asses across the border was too expensive. Cut one congresscritter's pay and you'd have the funds.

#5  A slight update:

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the illegals aliens, who do not abide by the rule of law, and who undercut the wages of all lawful citizens.

#4  So, he does it in one big photo opportunity, rather than stealthy day to day. Big deal. Catch and Release(tm) has been the modus operandi of DHS and ICE for five years. They're just not hiding it anymore.

#2  Rest assured the Admin still wants to take away Amer's guns AMAP.

As for impeachment, its NOT gonna happen unless something akin to the 1960's Valachi hearings takes place. The way things stand currently, AFAIS McCain etal. have N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

The Bammer neeeds to be subpoenaed, as well as others inside the deep abysses of DepState, DOJ + USDOD. ANY LINKS BETWEEN BEGHAZI + "FAST-N-FURIOUS II" IN LIBYA, SYRIA - OR NON-EXISTENCE OF SAME- MUST BE VERIFIED.

THUS FAR MCCAIN + BOYZ JUST KEEP ASKING WIMPY QUESTIONS.
