Immigration officials have allowed violent criminals to leave the Houston jail despite being told they were illegal immigrants, an investigation found.

My gosh, these included rapists and such who can go right back out to get their victims for having told the police about the rapes?

Why aren’t incompetent immigration staffers given capital punishment?

You know, with all us freepers worried Obama’s going to destroy this country, did it occur to anyone that that already happened a long time ago and we’re just coasting on fumes?

Too many of our officials are determined the sell-out this country. It's the only explanation for the special perks for illegal aliens.

The Examiner (Nov. 17, 2008) reported: "Feds reject application to train local police in detention, deportation . . . Federal immigration authorities have scuttled Fairfax Country's [VA] bid to join a program that empowers local law enforcement to detain - and begin deportation proceedings for - criminal illegal immigrants . . ."

yeah.

my wake up call came when our borders were not effectively secured on 9/12...and since. i think NOTHING has been more telling about the future of our country than our own ‘national security first’- Republican President’s outright REFUSAL to secure our borders. Connecting this, and all other dots of the BIPARTISAN CFR’s agenda for a North American Union, and it all begins to make tragic sense.

Duncan Hunter was the one candidate who acknowledged this and introduced legislation to stop it. He was effectively silenced.
