Sequester warning: Illegal immigrants will run free

Feb. 26, 2013 12:49pm Meredith Jessup

As part of the president’s ongoing Seuqestermageddon campaign, the Department of Homeland Security would like you to believe that the across-the-board budget cuts will hamper efforts to secure our nation’s borders and fight terrorism. No biggie, right?

“At the borders, Napolitano said the department would have to scale back patrols between ports of entry in the southwest United States, after years of making progress in stopping people from entering the country illegally from Mexico,” the Washington Post reports.

You know what else tends to put a damper on such progress? Releasing a bunch of illegal immigrants you already have in custody:

The federal government released groups of illegal immigrants from custody across the country Monday at the same time the White House was making its case that impending budget cuts would harm efforts to protect the border and enforce federal immigration laws.

Advocates reported “waves” of illegal immigrants being released from at least three detention centers in Texas, Florida and Louisiana.

U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement confirmed the release of some illegal immigrants Monday night but would not say how many or from which detention centers.

“In order to make the best use of our limited detention resources in the current fiscal climate and to manage our detention population under current congressionally mandated levels, ICE has directed field offices to review the detained population to ensure it is in line with available funding,” said ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen. “As a result of this review, a number of detained aliens have been released around the country and placed on an appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release.”

Hm: It’s almost as if the Obama administration is setting the stage here for issues which he’ll likely later blame on Republicans.

This means one of three things: a) there is no resolution to the sequestration standoff in the pipeline; b) the Obama administration is using the sequestration strife as an excuse to halt prosecutions and deportations; or c) both a & b.

If illegals commit crimes against U.S. citizens, since they have no other way of getting money, won’t this put pressure on the American public to cry out to the Government for help, and give amnesty to millions of illegals so they can get better jobs? (And vote Democratic. And not know or value the American Constitution or way of life. And promote the New World Order agenda of borderless states and to give Southwest U.S. back to Mexico.) Fox news reported Monday that Mexico is asking for a list of gun owners in the border states. WHY?
Are they afraid Arizona grannies will use their six-shooters and shotguns to defend our border?

Idiots are running this country. Absolute idiots. There’s a million things they can cut and they cut one of the few things that the gov. is SUPPOSED to do which is protect the borders. This administration HATES America. There’s no other explanation for what they are doing. If terrorists come in and attack this country OBAMA is to blame!

Well, what a fortunate turn of events, they get to scare the people with letting criminals out; get to blame those uncompromising republicans for it; and get some more illegal democrats to add to the voting base. Which is why they chose to pick criminals as the budget cut of the day! I wonder what it will be tomorrow?

It’s no secret that they have not been doing their job on the border for decades. Now they threaten to do a worse crappy job. Who cares? The constant flow of stupidity out of our government is more than I can handle.

Watching the news is like watching that stupid movie Idiocracy.

Still think Obama doesn’t really want sequestration to take place? Of course he does. Allowing illegals to run free is one of the things he has been pushing for and now he has a way to make it happen….and blame it on the GOP.

He’s here in my locale today spreading more of his bull. The day started out sunny and nice until he arrived…now it’s overcast and raining.

This demagogue, Obama, is the absolute biggest fraud in American history. All of a sudden he cares about illegal vermin coming over the border? Give me a break. That internationalist pig cares nothing for borders or American sovereignty. He’s turned his back while illegal invaders have made a mockery of our borders
