The Associated Press has learned that the Homeland Security Department official in charge of the agency's immigration enforcement and removal operations has resigned after hundreds of illegal immigrants were released from jails because of government spending cuts.

My take is that the person resigned because he can’t do his job. Not that he is the fall guy.

That's my take, too. This is somebody resigning in protest... Not being pushed out.

Homeland Security Department released hundreds of illegal aliens from jails because of government spending cuts.

In response, a government employee resigned with his government tax paid lottery style retirement pension and gold plated benefits and was last seen heading to the bank.

Then they are less informed that the average citizen because I heard about it yesterday.

If these releases truly weren’t Administration policy, as the WH claims, then why is there no effort underway to round up these “mistakenly released” criminals?

[haircutter]

Don't worry they will relocate him or her to another dept. they always seem to do this when the public gets up in arms about a government mess over...

Janet Nappy more than likely twisted a few arms to protect her butt.

Oh come on. The administration didnt know about Fast & Furious, Benghazi, and now the release of Obamas hounds of hell. He is taking off his mask and we might realize our greatest fears, real soon.

I thought so too

Willingly oblivious. Like the media. Can’t remember the story off the top of my head, but that Shiefer geezer on the CBS Sunday morning show didn’t have a clue about a major story last year, so completely missed a chance to ask someone about it in an interview.

It should have been Napolitano. He will either retire with bennies or be put into another made up position for taking the fall for the Whitehouse.

No fun going into combat with both your arms tied behind your back.

The bulldagger was blamed by the White House, which is professing to be not responsible for any of the things it does. Thanks Perdogg.

He is probably going Galt.

[SisterK]

Finally, someone speaks the truth on this thread. Obastard or Obastard’s handlers told them to release them.

[xzins]

There are no cuts.

In fact, spending will increase.

[Smokin' Joe]

Just wait until our pink-skinned domestic citizen-type criminals sue for equal protection under the law. Releasing only illegal alien criminals is “Racist”, after all.

[Kickass Conservative]

Allow me to ask the obvious question.

Why weren’t these Illegal Invaders released to their home Countries? Stick them on a Plane and say Adios...

BTW - I’m sure the guy who is leaving has a wonderful Pension.

[chemicalman]

I’d like to know how many of these that Obama released were in posession of F & F arms when apprehended.

[1_Rain_Drop]

They were released under the condition that they apply for jobs as TSA

[unixfox]

Why didn't they free non-violent AMERICANS?

You must mean those rich WHITE Americans? Can't do that, that would be RACIST.
