WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration contradicted itself Thursday, acknowledging to Congress that it had, in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget constraints during three weeks in February. Four deemed especially dangerous have been placed back in jail.

The administration had claimed only a "few hundred immigrants" were released for budgetary reasons, challenging as inaccurate an Associated Press report that more than 2,000 immigrants had been released and that 3,000 more would be released this month.

This was done deliberately and intentionally with full awareness. They knew what they were doing. This administration is fully responsible for the crimes committed by the criminals after they are released.

But they will get away with it, just like they got away with Benghazi and, Fast and Furious.

Come now, can’t have citizens getting away with evading their debt to society. Illegality has its privileges, after all.

The article says TEN dangerous criminals were released. What happened to the other SIX?
