Wave of Immigrants Released Ahead of Automatic Budget Cuts
New Yawk Times ^ | February 26, 2013 | KIRK SEMPLE

Posted on 02/26/2013 9:06:13 AM PST by tje

In a highly unusual move, federal immigration officials have released a wave of detainees from immigration detention centers around the country in an effort to save money as automatic budget cuts loom in Washington, officials said.

The government has not dropped the deportation cases against the immigrants, however: The detainees have been freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court, officials said.

"Unusual" as in done for political maneuvering rather than objective necessity. They should call it what it is.

This is like 1980’s Mariel Boatlift when Jimmah Carter announced he’d receive any and all Cubans who made it ashore. Castro emptied the insane asylums and prisons and herded the inmates onto boats headed for our shores to become Jimmah’s problems (or rather Florida’s).

O has been itching for an “excuse” to loose all the illegals unluckey enough to get caught and (un)released. What a total bastard!

Maybe his aunt and uncle will get to stay here also?

Fine if the current GOP withers as long as the replacement keeps out the legitimate rape mensa and other pie in the sky nonsense.

No one will be able to tell the difference....

Dallas Texas 2006:

500,000 illegals and their supporters so emboldened by Bush, they marched thorough our cities and towns all over the U.S., by the millions, making demands and threats while pushing foreign flags in your faces...

Hey kenyan marxist one we have been waiting for -how about cutting all the homosexual sex benefits you have doled out by arbitrary executive limp wristed manboy fiat?

Surely this leftist utopian expense piled upon taxpayers who do not want to provide a financial incentive to those who engage in self destructive activity can be halted?

I wonder if waves of IRS agents will be laid off as a result of the sequester... I’ll celebrate if that happens ( and I can dream can’t I?)

Good posts, both of you.

The beast described might also be the branches of the beast system. Some ideas for consideration, YMMV...

Beast 1, Executive Branch - reelected/revived despite 1) having already sold, despised and/or crafted out of thin air a birthright claim; 2) bizarre creation and survival of Obamacare, 3) Benghazi slaughter, doing nothing but going into CYA mode and then heading off to a Vegas fundraiser. This Obama hydrahead has regenerated double from political wounds that would have killed off any other pol.

Beast 2, two-horned Congress - the one that makes the laws to force all to pay homage/tax to the first beast or else (esp. WRT Obamacare).

The US is still the greatest nation on the planet although that’s quite an illusion. Easy for many to dismiss the writing on the wall though because of NT translations that use the word “earth” when “land” would suffice (Greek: ge). In several verses, if the Greek had been translated as “land”, the meaning would be rather alarming. “Earth” has a strong connotation as meaning the entire planet/globe, wheras land is just that, depending on the context, and naturally accomodates the element of borders.

My 2 cents.

Did the Mayor of Portland or the Governor of Oregon do this once with the jails? I forget.

In 2010, House Ways and Means Committee Republicans issued a report saying the IRS may need as many as 16,500 additional auditors, agents and other employees "to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans." -

... the media can't spin this story -- but that means they’re going to memory-hole it -- just like they're memory-holing the fact that 75% of the ObamaCare burden will fall on the already drowning middle class.  - See more at: Breitbart.com

Doesn't look like it. Obama's job program: grow the number of federal employees to enlarge the democrat voter base.

Anyone else remember when Fidel Castro did this exact same thing -- dumping prisoners?





Communists like Castro and Obama must have one playbook --- make people miserable and then blame the other guy.

Isn't that what you're doing right now?

I do not know if this is true . During our Wednesday Bible study our pastor said he got a call( from Afghanistan) and was told some FOB’s are not getting FOOD sent to them. he asked us if we heard about this. I told him i only read some FOB’s were getting cold food but nothing about no food. Awaiting a call from my cousin( Navy SEAL...sometimes it takes a week or so to get back to me).

Nevertheless, this is just evil about releasing illegals. Why not release American’s? oh yeah, he’s at was with America!
G’damn America, right?
Well I pray now, I pray hellfire and brimstone rains upon that WH because I’ve been praying love and this man and his evil czars change their evil ways but it’s not working.
So I’m trying a new prayer for the LOVE of America, for the safety of American’s, for the patriots of America, for those all that are being sheered in one way or another by this mass of hatred and ideological BS!
