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.
“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.

Enforce existing law. Problem solved.
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.
China?! Geez go figure, those pig banging commie lovers does take back one type of criminals, if the suspects are taiwanese, they would bend over backwards trying to get them deported back to china instead of taiwan.
SCOTUS made it difficult to hold them so they had to be released.
Pelosi echo? Then fix the effing law!
A democrat that actually cares about the country and enforcing the laws on the books? He won’t get reelected.
Ahip them to Hawaii. Simple.
That pic is a blast from the past.
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.
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.
I know. Amazing isn’t it?
Thanks, Reb, seems like some of us have this guy mixed up with another Cuellar.
