30 countries refusing to take back illegal alien criminals
American Thinker ^ | 03/19/2017 | Rick Moran

Posted on 03/19/2017 8:25:33 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar says that 30 countries are refusing to take deported criminal illegal aliens back and he wants the US government to force their cooperation.

A law is already on the books, Cuellar noted in an interview with Sheryl Attkisson, that the US could stop issuing visas to citzens of those countries until they changed their policy.

Daily Caller:

“We’re not enforcing it, which is amazing. So now my intent is to go back to our committee on appropriations and affect their funding until they do that,” Cuellar told Sharyl Attkisson, host of Full Measure, in an interview.

Cuellar, a Democratic member of the House Committee on Appropriations, told Attkisson that the Supreme Court has ruled that illegal immigrants arrested for criminal activity can only be held for a certain period of time before they must be released.

“That means you’re releasing criminals into our streets because those countries refuse to take back those criminal aliens,” said Cuellar. “That’s wrong. And especially I think it’s even worse that this is already on the books, and we’re still issuing business tourist visas and student visas to countries that refuse to take back their criminal aliens. That’s wrong, and we’re hoping to change that.”

Cuellar has not been afraid to break with some of his party leadership on immigration issues in the past. He was known as one of former President Barack Obama’s fiercest critics on illegal immigration. Cuellar teamed up with Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn in 2014 to help pass a bill that would speed up the deportation of unaccompanied minors. His stance disappointed his fellow Democrats, including Sen. Harry Reid.

Or put them on some rock on the Aleutian Islands and air drop supplies of food once a month.

Let them work it out themselves and figure out how to live like civilized human beings.

Or die.

SCOTUS made it difficult to hold them so they had to be released.

Pelosi echo? Then fix the effing law!

Great opportunity to take back any money or benefit that they receive.

For my part, I would find an alternative way to insert them back in their country.

had to look this guy up - thought he was the Cuellar from SanAntonio - he’s a young guy from laredo. Still surprised this is a Dem talking like this.

Just airdrop them back, then.

At least, over the Gulf of Mexico, let them swim the rest of the way.

Cuellar is a purely political whore who hates white people.

He is not a friend to justice, or America.

Cancel the visas, the message must be sent loud and clear.

Here's from the article I linked to:

A 2001 Supreme Court decision, Zadvydas v. Davis, said that the government cannot indefinitely detain an immigrant just because that person’s country of origin declines to accept his repatriation. If the immigrant cannot be deported after six months, they must be released from custody.

However, according to ICE, immigration authorities can hold immigrants longer in a “very narrow category of cases involving special circumstances, including certain terrorist [activities] and dangerous individuals with violent criminal histories.”


seems we have grounds for stopping immigration from these countries.
