DHS plans to release 5,000 illegal immigrants due to sequestration

House investigators learned Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials developed plans to release about 5,000 illegal immigrant detainees, although Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has denied responsibility for the decision.

“An internal document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee shows that Administration officials at ICE prepared cold calculations to release thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets and did not demonstrate any consideration of the impact this decision would have on the safety of Americans,” committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., announced.

The ICE document contains a table that proposes “reduc[ing] invoiced daily population by 1,000 weekly.” Between February 22 and March 31st, this plan would drop the number of detainees from 30,748 to 25,748.

“The decision to release detained aliens undermines the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to keep our homeland secure and instead makes our communities less safe and more vulnerable to crime,” Goodlatte said. “[R]egardless of sequestration, DHS actually has plenty of funding to pay for the detention of criminal aliens. Unfortunately, it seems Administration officials are more interested in using sequestration to promote their political agenda than as an opportunity to get our nation’s fiscal house in order.”

Napolitano said that it wasn’t her decision, even though ICE is part of DHS....

"“An internal document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee shows that Administration officials at ICE prepared cold calculations to release thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets and did not demonstrate any consideration of the impact this decision would have on the safety of Americans,” committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., announced."

I think they demonstrated considerable consideration of the impact. They want to maximize the impact. Release the criminals, open the borders, close some airports, make the TSA lines hours long; all of this is a plan to maximize the impact of the sequester, create a crisis and blame it on the evil GOP. Obama is banking that the average citizen will buy his propaganda and the GOP will fold. If we can't cut 2.4% of an increase in budget authority, then there is no hope at all to stop the deficit spending and rein in Obama.

This is also a strategy to take back the House for the Rats. If that happens, there will be nothing left, not even a weak Boehner, to stop Obama doing a full transformation like the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela.

But, we won't stop the Obamaphone Program, and there's 5000 new Obamaphones that could be GIVEN to those released.

Cuts in the Military, cuts in public-inconvienience Services, etc., all to make it "the Republican's Fault", for implementing Obama's Sequestor.

State-run-media has their talking points, and this spit-in-the-ocean token cut in spending has eliminated NONE of the over-staffed, over-blown, and overlord Administrations path of Destruction.

California has almost 700 prisoners on death row.

Imagine what they could save if they turned them all loose.

When I first heard of sequestration I foolishly thought it meant our congress critters would be sequestered – like with a jury – until a viable budget was agreed on. I liked the idea of them being in lockdown.

Then I looked up the meaning of “sequestration”:

1. confiscating or being confiscated: the act or process of legally confiscating somebody's property temporarily until a debt that person owes is paid, a dispute is settled, or a court order obeyed Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

I still don’t see the connection.

“Oh well the majority elected this assclown.”

The illegal criminals aliens will ply their trade in the large blue gun restricted cities where they can blend in the best and get all the freebies they can carry away (legally or illegally).

Rural areas have little to worry about as they are armed to the teeth and these criminal aliens stand out like a sore thumb.

In effect, Obama is releasing the majority of these criminals into the midst of his voting base.

Serves them right for voting for the pr*ck.

Definition of SEQUESTER

1 a: to set apart : segregate b: seclude, withdraw

2 a: to seize especially by a writ of sequestration b: to place (property) in custody especially in sequestration

3 : to hold (as a metallic ion) in solution usually by inclusion in an appropriate coordination complex

As per an earlier post by a Freeper (whose name I can't recall), the MSM should refer to the current sequester as "the Obama sequester," as the infamously did to the so-called "Bush tax cuts."

Said it before & I’ll say it again...we are simply NOT a nation of law anymore. And, we are quickly being relegated to the garbage heap of nations...
