Maybe this will backfire on Obama. If there are enough people let loose to adversely affect the lives of citizens in a sudden and noticeable way, maybe they will see the wisdom of tight border control.
NO WAY this was necessary. To put the lives of citizens at risk for a political ploy could really backfire on him.
Sure, the press will minimize it, but it is the President's obligation to make good decisions and prioritize. His priority is handing out money for democrat votes. Couldn't care less about anything else. Letting illegal immigrants loose in the streets is a very risky gamble. So much for Big Sis’!
If the other cabinet officials follow in suit and make cuts in ways that directly harm the public (without cutting less critical areas), this could all blow up.
