WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tens of thousands of young families caught crossing the border illegally earlier this year subsequently failed to meet with federal immigration agents, as they were instructed, the Homeland Security Department has acknowledged privately.
An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 percent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. never showed up weeks later for follow up appointments.
The ICE official made the disclosure in a confidential meeting at its Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies. The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday's meeting and separately interviewed participants.
On the recording obtained by the AP, the government did not specify the total number of families released into the U.S. since October. Since only a few hundred families have already been returned to their home countries and limited U.S. detention facilities can house only about 1,200 family members, the 70 percent figure suggests the government released roughly 41,000 members of immigrant families who subsequently failed to appear at federal immigration offices.

Not surprising. If there were any justice in this country, the federal government would place bounties on each and every one of them!

If the US placed bounties on the illegals (not to kill, but to bring in), then it would solve both the unemployment problem and rid the country of illegals.
The idea is so good, that the federal government would never dream of implementing it.

Gee...do they mean to say that people who crept across the border like thieves in the night are not honest? Shocker.

We are so surprised.
Will someone pleased notify Holder before he resigns so he can “handle” these criminal actions like he has with the IRS and Benghazi.

An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 percent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. never showed up weeks later for follow up appointments. The bigger surprise is the 30% who did report.

For the ones that DID show, this government probably thought, “These people show some integrity and honesty...We better send them back where they came from...We don’t need them here...”

These freeloading scumbags have now committed more crimes and have broken even more of our laws. “Unaccompanied” criminals are no different than “accompanied” criminals. They are going to make outstanding Commie DemocRAT “U.S citizens”. Barry, Harry and Nancy should be proud. These scumbags are their kind of people.

Thank your lucky stars these people failed to appear. Now they can lose their immigration legal action via default for failure to appear and will be subject to deportation instead of being in legal limbo for their sanctuary claims litigated by expensive government funded lawyers in court for the next ten years.
