Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is concerned that dangerous criminals and terrorists will not get deported when President Barack Obama enacts his executive amnesty and further weakens the nation's immigration laws and enforcement mechanisms.
In a Wednesday letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Grassley, the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote that it is "unsettling" that Obama "is intent on condoning contempt for the rule of law and ignoring his Constitutional duty to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.'"
“The egregious use of executive action and rule by fiat is bad enough, but knowing that undocumented criminals continue to be released into communities, even this past year, and could still remain in the country is outrageous,” Grassley said in a statement. “The Obama administration allowed tens of thousands of undocumented criminals to stay in communities across the country despite a policy specifically stating that these people be deported. The Department released murderers and domestic abusers from its custody. So, why would anyone trust this administration going forward?”
Grassley noted that Obama's executive amnesty, which Obama will formally announce on Thursday evening, is "more disturbing" given that the Department of Homeland Security has admittedly failed "to deport 36,007 convicted criminals—including 169 homicide convicts—who were all released back onto the streets" in fiscal year 2013. Grassley said that because of these failures, "there is a genuine concern as to whether deportations of convicted criminals and those who pose a national security risk will be any different under a new enforcement memorandum.” Obama will reportedly scrap the "Secure Communities" program in addition to providing executive amnesty to as many as five million illegal immigrants.

The EXEMPT KNOW that the undocumented Tyrant
ONLY serves al Qaeda, terrorist, and criminals...
and they do NOTHING about it, except enrich THEMSELVES.
Every Republican Governor should sign on to a Class Action suit directly to the Supreme Court. Stop this usurper in his tracks. Humiliate the bastard.
If you really believe that then DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT, senator.
Should we read that as a call to impeachment?
What would the political ramifications of impeachment be?
The son of A BITCH DOESN’T HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO DO THIS. iF THE rEPUBLICANS HAD A COLLECTIVE PAIR, THEN THEY WOULD IMPEACH HIM OVER IT.
The only thing that will deflect the amnesty decree fallout is a no bill announcement by the Ferguson’s county prosecutor.
Obama is all about protecting people like him
ya think?
Well then “the farmer” should step aside and let Jeff Sessions be the Judiciary Committee chair (since Mike Enzi is elbowing Sessions out of the Budget Committee chair.
You’d think “the farmer” would want to chair the agriculture committee!
Grassly seems to be all talk, no action. I’m tired of it.
Somewhere, someone knows all there is to know about this guy (ValJar excluded). Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if all that info suddenly came to light and was airtight. I can dream.
Some on here think that impeaching the POS would remove him from office. It doesn’t necessarily do that - case in point - Bill Jefferson Clinton.
Excellent!!
Another RINO is "concerned"....
Impeachment is an indictment.
It is up to the Senate hold a trial, and vote whether to convict and remove from office.
Peculiar headline since the most dangerous terrorist/criminal/outlaw is omoeba himself, and he has been protected thus far.
The courts are a waist of time. They are as corrupt as the rest of them. And their corrupt and unlawful rulings only continue to box everyone else in.
Vote to remove him? Heck, they won’t even bring it to a vote to impeach.
“If you really believe that then DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT, senator.
Roger that however Republican more often than not substitute hyperbole for action. There will be plenty of weeping and gnashing of teeth but no action for fear of the future owners of America.
But is is a necessary first step
