ICE’s Mulligan

| March 15, 2013

The Washington Times reports that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau has had to start rounding up some of the detainees that they released during their preparation for the sequestration thingie. It seems that some of the gentle souls happened to be “level one” offenders;

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton testified to Congress that his agency released 10 “level one” offenders, and has gone out and apprehended four of them. He said the other six are nonviolent.

Mr. Morton also acknowledged that overall, 2,228 immigrants were released — far more than the several hundred the agency had initially acknowledged. Of those, 629 had criminal records, though Mr. Morton said they were low-level offenders.

The releases have drawn a stern rebuke from Republicans, who said it showed mismanaged priorities. They also said ICE’s concession that it released far more immigrants than it first acknowledged dents the agency’s credibility.

Whatever. As long as everyone gets to feel the pain of sequester, what difference does a couple more criminals on the streets matter? It’s all the Republicans’ fault anyway.

I’m just happy to know there are now more criminals on the street thanks to the govt. I’m sure my family feels better about it.

Scenario: Released illegal commits a crime after release in which an American citizen is killed, either by intent or negligence.

Question: Who in the administration could in theory be guilty of a/any crime, and if so, what?

..And thankfully the government will be there to protect me and my families from these illegal crimmigrants (especially after our government disarms us).

@2. No crime but malfeasance would work in a civil action.

You want Pain? Set the salary of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branch to a GS-1 pay scale and see how fast they solve this. Or, better yet, set it to an O-1 and see them solve it faster. Oh, and cut their benefits package to that received by the soldiers.

I wouldn’t set it to an E-1 pay scale, because in this economy they wouldn’t even be able to afford bus money to make it to their job.
