Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ)slammed the Department of Homeland Security Wednesday for releasing three violent criminal aliens into Arizona.
“Our Department of Homeland Security needs to focus more on securing our homeland, not on cornering the market as a transportation option for illegal aliens in the United States,” Salmon said.
“Americans need protection from violent criminals and an explanation for why DHS has been so miserably failing at their primary task,” he added.
This week Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed it had released three violent criminal immigrants into Arizona because if had no “legal basis” to continue to hold them.

Like all other organs of the federal government, its purpose has been corrupted.
No part of the federal government is working for the betterment of America or anyone in it, outside of themselves.
That’s true. There needs to be a big interagency discussion on this, because one of the problems that local law enforcement has is that the DHS, on the one hand, doesn’t want illegal aliens caught in criminal acts to be held and prosecuted by local jurisdictions, and at the same time, doesn’t do anything with them itself. They’re usually released, which is a great frustration to local LE.
The DHS is just another arm of the Democrat party.
The DHS should be removed from the executive branch and put under a new and special stand alone (no affiliation to the president nor to congress and funded by the states equally) committee comprised of members of law enforcement from various states from across the country. A prerequisite to being a member of this committee requires past US military service. The members would be selected collectively by the county sheriffs in each state. Under this committee, the US AG position would be eliminated. IMHO, this or something similar may not be perfect but it would be an improvement.
Department of Homeland Security should be defunded and disbanded.
It’s another Stasi...KGB....Gestapo in the making.
Not there yet, but that’s where it’s heading.
Doing what The Emperor told them to do.
“We were just following orders.”
No legal basis to hold criminals. Fine, I give up. We do deserve Obama and Hillary.
