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....

He's poking law abiding Americans in the chest, backing them up to the edge of the abyss.

This is a carefully thought out and executed strategy.

Yet more of the addled, not to say insane, and certainly illegal, Obama response to resistance to his continuing budgetary excesses.

Clearly, he cares nothing for the laws of the United States where his gamesmanship is involved.

In what new ways will the egomaniacal side of the president reveal itself in the coming four years?

I can only imagine the outrage if Americans on the whole were mentally alert enough to understand why this is a bad thing.

And we’re expected to believe these illegals are no threat because they’re not violent criminals. To the Einsteins who think this is such a great idea ... Since they’re “undocumented,” how did you arrive at THAT conclusion???

The real question is will the other two branches of the FERAL Government nut up and arrest, try, convict and hang all those responsible for these treason,high crimes and misdemeanors imposed upon the LEGAL American Citizen?

Ehhhhh, No.

So, who will it fall upon to seek and ensure that justice is wrought upon these traitors to the American Constitution and American Liberties?

The Armed Patriot.

Are all these illegals on welfare, unemployment, food stamps, Section 8 housing, free emergency room care and/or free ObamaPhones yet?

If not, how are they living...and who is paying for this "living"?
