Thousands of illegal immigrants
already released, according to report

Fox News & Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 3/1/2013 6:03:48 PM

Thousands of illegal immigrants ticketed for deportation have been released from federal detention centers in recent weeks, according to a report that came out even as the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano denied any involvement in the policy. Plans to release illegal immigrants in anticipation of looming budget cuts were announced earlier this week, but the report by The Associated Press detailed the policy had already taken effect and on a much larger scale. (Snip) Napolitano claimed Thursday that she had no part in her department’s decision to release low-risk detainees

Comments:
If the dRATS won´t take responsibility for any of their actions, many illegal, when does the Supreme Court or GOP jump in to rectify this dereliction of duty [their sworn Oath to protect US]?

This isn´t news. News is when Janet Napolitan organizes a posse to round them up again.

Castro flooded Florida with criminals released from Cuban prisons and Obama flooded the US with criminals released from American prisons. They both has similar mischief in mind. We might just as well have Fidel in the WH.

To be detained under the liberal Obama Administration policies those illegal aliens all most probably have criminal records that render them subject to deportation. In the past, Congress stopped such "catch and release" programs, as this event is, when it came to light that about 90% of released illegal aliens do not appear for scheduled future court hearings. That means if the government really intends to deport them sometime in the future, that the immigration authorities are going to have to go out, locate, arrest, and bring them to their court hearings. That´s going to cost a lot of time, money, and human resources, probably a lot more then it would if they were all kept tucked in jail.

An initiative this big, involving the release of thousands of illegal aliens had to come from either Napolitano or even Obama, as no career supervisory bureaucrat is going to put his or her job and career advancement at risk by ordering such a politically charged general release of thousands of illegal aliens, any of who could kill or assault innocent Americans.

You can bet on that. This is all politically designed to further appease the many very liberal ethnic and immigrant rights groups and to pressure the Congress to past Obama´s amnesty with a special path to citizenship for 11-20 million illegal aliens, who the liberal Democrats consider to be prospective eventual liberal Democrat voters.

Remember how the media and dems beat up Bush abou Abu Grabe and how he should have known what those junior troops were doing half way around the world. Where is that same beating for Obama and Napalatano now. They supposedly didn´t know what was happening in the administration and in the country. As others have said, both should lose their jobs

Well. Apparently the "Stoopit Curve" in this Administration isn´t an asymptote. May have even crossed the Utterly Stoopit Line some time ago.

#5: I believe you are quite correct on both points. IIRC, another story mentioned they did have criminal convictions. Also, such a major step, into new-policy ground, would never be taken by managerial-level people, especially in this control-freak administration. And even so, how high up would someone have to be to be able to order such releases from facilities across the country? Very, very near the top. Very near.

#9: I´m taking a small position in front door futures in case people listen to Biden....

Hasn´t the obama administration, by that statement, admitted to the world that this administration detains people, thousands of people, for no reason?

Good grief. Everyday it is just more seriously bad news. I would not feel so much despair if I knew that someone in Washington DC was at least working to stop the most corrupt administration in history, but it appears they are not. What ARE they doing? Do they have no strategy? Is re-election their only goal? Do we need super PACs focused on "electable" candidates in future elections? Defeating Obama NOW should be the Republicans only goal. If we don´t stop Obama´s agenda now, the election won´t matter because the Republicans will be so demonized they won´t be able to run for dog catcher and win.

The Obama campaign for the 2014 House began on Jan 20. He has no plans to govern until he has consolidated power. OK, if the campaign has begun, we need to track each and every one of these prisoners. They will commit more crimes. Every time they do it needs to be broadcast to the public. Jan Brewer can get the info to our side. Let the campaign begin on BOTH sides!

Reply 24 - Posted by: OhMy, 3/2/2013 10:26:55 AM     (No. 9204466)

The correction for this if the GOP had any guts would be for republican governors to pass strict voter ID laws and add a provision that illegal aliens who committed crimes never get the right to vote and those who avoid due process because of federal government laxity and prisoner releases be included in this provision, deemed convicted and automatically deported with no further due process. Remove the RATS incentive to create new voters and this kind of atrocity will be ended! When the federal govt refuses to enforce the law, and the courts side with them as in the Arizona case then the republican governors need to be more agressive or everything will be destroyed!

#23 asks the right question. Technically, nobody can be HELD without an order from a court with jurisdiction, so they can´t be released without one as well. Even if the prosecutor wants to drop charges, he still has to get a judge to sign the release order. Either some highly-placed federal/administrative judge somewhere rubber-stamped a bulk "release" order, which would require very high-up involvement by the Obama Administration, or else a lot of prosecutors simultaneously withdrew charges, which would also require coordination AND means a lot of judges acquiesced without much thought and no alarm. The third alternative, that the Administration just called and said "let them out" and their jailors did so, is too totalitarian and depressing to contemplate.

On Greta one night this week I saw a Senator or Rep. who was a judge before he was elected to office and he said only a judge can sign for someone to be incarcerated and only a judge can sign for them to be released. So who is going to charge this administration with these illegal actions? Frickin´ crickets!

That action does sound like a declaration of war against the American people. Not the swiftest move they could have made.

North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth underground nuclear weapons test at Punggye-ri, the site of its previous test, a South Korean government source says. Pyongyang appeared to be making preparations for the test, according to a South Korean government source speaking to the country’s Joong Ang Daily newpaper. This comes on the heels of the South’s defence ministry reports that Pyongyang could perform a mid-range missile test-launch by Wednesday – also the deadline it has given to foreign diplomats to evacuate, as their safety would reportedly no longer be guaranteed

Bridgewater, N.J. - Like clockwork, they´re coming back -- after 17 years. "They" would be cicadas, the big, noisy bugs that climb out of the earth about every decade and a half to make everyone´s life more exciting. Experts tell Gannett News Service that the bugs live underground and feed off fluid that gathers near the roots of plants, then emerge from the soil when its temperature reaches 64 degrees. They´re largely harmless, but their sheer numbers can cause headaches. Some areas could see as many as a billion of the cicadas per square mile. That can lead to a lot of dead bugs all over roadways

Caracas - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan opposition supporters rallied in a staunchly pro-government part of the capital on Sunday, answering a call by their candidate Henrique Capriles and showing strength a week before the presidential election. "Today the streets of Caracas are full of happiness and hope, confirming what will happen next Sunday," Capriles, the 40-year-old governor of Miranda state, told the crowd. Capriles faces acting President Nicolas Maduro, who has vowed to continue the hard-line socialism of his late boss, Hugo Chavez, if he wins the April 14 election.

"Frank Ocean ain´t no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He´s a singer.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
