(CNSNews.com) Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) defended the recent release by the Department of Homeland Securitys Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of 2, 228 incarcerated illegal aliens by saying that only 467 of those had been convicted of a misdemeanor or two.
We learned at a recent hearing before the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee that 72 percent of the people released had no criminal record at all, Conyers said Tuesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing, where ICE Director John Morton testified that the releases were done because of federal budget cuts (sequestration) required by the Budget Control Act of 2011.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
how many Americans with two misdemeanors did they release from sequester?
So, being “illegal” isn’t illegal.
FUJC
FUBO
28% had criminal records, and the RINO Conyers
supports the release.
Is anyone surprised?
we should start demanding for Americans
then again, they might try that too
Excuse me but being in this country illegally is a federal crime not a misdemeanor. As if the the Obama regime cared.
They were not being held for deportation for a misdemeanor (which is, if I also recall, a violation of a law the same as, but less severe than a felony)
And we should believe that racist John Conyers because?
Conyers is black, a negro,....... therefore blameless and truthful
Thank God I got out of there 50+ years ago. Had I stayed, this awful person would’ve been my congress critter. Not that my Palm Beach County congressman is much better.
Correction: 72% of the people had one prior, and 28% of the people released had 2 or more criminal priors
Lying SoS.
Then let them stay at your place for the next foreseeable future Conyers.
Doesn’t one have to be a Republican to be a RINO? This is Conyers we’re talking about....
Oh, okay John, why don’t you let them move into your house then.
No criminal record? How about the fact that these 'illegals' broke into our country - which IS against our laws. How about that Conyers? THEY BROKE OUR LAWS... Conyers is a brain dead old man who should have retired 10 years ago. He's 84 - it's time.
Conyers isn't a RINO, he's a flaming libtard and his wife Monica is either still in jail or just recently got out.......
Some examples of misdemeanors
Assault resulting in bodily injury

Again, class A misdemeanors may differ by region, so you may wish to consult with an attorney if you are unsure of the laws of your state.
