| Description | The big winners in the enormous budget cuts that will gut the federal government: undocumented immigrants! The Department of Homeland Security has released from its jails more than 2000 immigrants who were facing deportation, well above the number that the Obama administration said would be (which is a shame for the Obama administration, which just loves deporting people).
The White House, which was not consulted about the releases, has asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to temporarily stop releasing the immigrants. There are currently 30,000 immigrants being held in federal detention waiting for deportation proceedings. |
