Rule of Law? Obama admin releases over 36,000 criminal aliens
**Posted by Phineas
Well, this should make us all feel oh-so-secure:
Hereβs everything you need to know about immigration reform: last year the Obama administration released 36,000 criminal aliens into the United States population. The jailbreak was deliberate and included 193 murderers.
The Center for Immigration Studies obtained the information and released a report documenting the number and nature of the crimes committed by the aliens.
If 36,000 criminal aliens walking around your community wasnβt enough, Obamaβs Department of Homeland Security is aiming to make it even easier for aliens to be released from detention. Thatβs what the groups agitating for immigration reform are demanding. Thatβs what the groups are likely to get.
The 2013 jailbreak included rapists, kidnappers, arsonists, burglars, sex offenders, and car thieves. Thatβs merely for 2013.
The criminals that Obama administration policies set free are unlikely ever to be deported. Detained aliens facing deportation are highly unlikely to ever be deported once they are set free into the general American population. They donβt show up for their deportation hearings, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement doesnβt have the manpower or money to hunt down tens of thousands of criminal aliens.
Thatβs a heaping helping of criminality the Obama administration just introduced into America.
As J. Christian Adams points out, this is just another example of how the administration, particularly its highly politicized Justice Department, sides with the law-breaker over the law-abiding. (For more good, by which I mean “infuriating,” examples, have a look at Mr. Adams’ “Injustice: exposing the racial agenda of the Obama Justice Department”)
And, far beyond merely siding with criminals and applying a racialist filter to the administration of justice, we seen more examples than I think any of us would care to remember of this administration’s cavalier lip service to even the idea of a genuine rule of law, of a law common to all: waivers and delays in the implementation of Obamacare granted with no authority; bondholders and pensioners cheated in the GM and Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings; Congress’ legitimate oversight authority treated with contempt; our tax agency used to harass law-abiding citizens seeking only to exercise their rights to participate in politics, and so many others.
We have a real problem in America when one side feels the rules just don’t apply to them, so long as they think they’re in the right.
