ICE under fire for releasing thousands of illegal immigrants with rap sheets

[senona]

One just cannot help but wonder, who in the hell makes these dumb-azz decisions???
I know the Obama admin is to blame, but who did not bother to check and see how bad their crimes were first, before releasing?

The Obama administration took fire at a House hearing Thursday for releasing back into society thousands of illegal immigrants who had committed crimes on U.S. soil – including those behind more than 200 murders.

“These are people that were here illegally, got caught committing a crime, were convicted of that crime and instead of deporting them, they were just released back out in the United States of America,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said.

According to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement in 2015 “freed 19,723 criminal aliens, who had a total of 64,197 convictions among them.”

This included “8,234 violent convictions and 208 homicide convictions.”

Of course the ICE director defended this action
Like they were really going to admit a mistake....yeah, right

“I can’t tell you how disheartening it is to hear a very important issue being bandied about as a political football,” Saldana said. “I would ask we focus on solutions rather than political banter.”

Saldana described the number of releases in 2015 as an improvement over prior years. The agency also made modest gains in detaining illegal immigrants but still released nearly 20,000 criminal offenders last year who had been convicted of crimes ranging from arson to embezzlement to sexual assault, according to the CIS report.

I have no issue with releasing illegal felons with minor charges.
But not murderers or rapists, come on people
WTH are you thinking?
Evidently you are not

The report also said dozens of freed criminals were later charged with homicide as well.

 Among the murders detailed was that of Grant Ronnebeck, an Arizona convenience store clerk. He allegedly was killed over a pack of cigarettes by an illegal immigrant -- who had been facing deportation proceedings following a burglary charge, but was released on bond.

And more recently, Iowa woman Sarah Root was killed in January, allegedly by an illegal immigrant drunk driver. The suspect was later bailed out and disappeared.

Though the total number of 2015 releases is lower compared to the past two years, the rate of releases is about the same, according to the report. Of the crimes on record, 12,307 involved drunk-driving convictions; 1,728 were cases of assault; and 216 were kidnapping cases. 

Not very encouraging at all...smh



Now then, if that was one of us, an American citizen who commited a crime, we would still be sitting in jail.

However these ILLEGALS for whatever reason get a free get out of jail card, only to commit more crimes
All the while getting free help, health care, education

Yet when an American citizen speaks out about them and pubic safety, oh hell, we are called racists/bigots


I read a comment somewhere and they nailed it...


*** Selective Enforcement of Laws ***





Unbelievable
Our country is so screwed up....... illegals get more of a free pass, literally, than a U.S. citizen who busts their azz trying to make a living, support their family, paying taxes (which goes to help support illegals)
They commit a horrendous crime, they are let out to do it all over again



 I'm sure politics has a hand in all this, but still, I call it all bullshit!
