Follow Up To Yesterday’s Sequestration Article

What happens now after the sequestration goes through and Obama’s doom and gloom is proven to be another of his propagated farces

As part of Obama’s ploy to scare people because of sequestration, anyone that is harmed by the wholesale release of criminal illegals puts blood directly on the hands of President Obama and Janet Napolitano. No one claims to know why this happened or where the order came from. It’s fairly obvious that sort of action had to come from the top. It was convenient to do so a couple of days ahead of the impending sequestration to further put fear into this countries citizens at the expense of their personal safety.

This is outright criminality by the administration. I am assuming that there are people investigating this matter right now.

Don’t look for the liberal media to do anything investigative or give this any coverage. Don’t look for this nations highest law department official Attorney General Eric Holder (Mr. Fast and Furious himself) to lift a finger. I wish the good folks out there that have a sense of what is right and decent the best of luck in trying to break through the administration’s stonewalls. The administration will probably get away with their total lack of response and complete irresponsibility. As appears will be what happens with the Benghazi matter. They too have blood on their hands for this fiasco.

Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, one of this countries most respected and revered journalists for the last several decades (he uncovered the Watergate scandal that brought down Nixon for his ‘dirty tricks’ campaign) was threatened in an email by Obama chief of finance because he wasn’t towing the administration’s line like the rest of the liberal press.

Threats, intimidation, exaggeration, outright lies and criminal behavior to further his agenda has been shown to be the order of the day for Obama. I have never seen a president so divisive in my lifetime.

He acts as though he is the President of the Democratic Party instead of the United States. Redistribution of wealth, class warfare and a socialist agenda that would make Josef Stalin blush.

Obama treats the White House and Air Force One as his personal toys. It’s as though being President is one big party. I hate to ponder on how many millions of dollars taxpayers had to pay out just this week for his non-stop campaigning trying to convince people that the sky was, falling and the world would stop if sequestration went through. All the while blaming Republicans when it was his idea that he had previously signed off on. It’s about time he got off the campaign trail. Mr. President the campaign ended last November. It’s about time you started spending time in the oval office and doing the job you were elected to do. Finally, tomorrow, the very last day before the sequestration kicks in at midnight he has decided to meet with the congressional and senate leaders from both sides of the aisle. You should have done that since you signed off on sequester 18 months ago or at least when you decided the sequester wasn’t a good thing after thinking it was a good thing.

It’s about time the good people of this great country finally come to the realization that Obama is a lying thug. He learned his craft very well in the ghettos of Chicago as a so-called community organizer. That and 2 years in the Senate were his qualifications for running for office. It has become quite obvious and more with each days revelations that this man was neither ready, qualified or had the moral turpitude to lead our nation.

Here is the latest on what I believe are criminal actions taken by Obama and Napolitano and rise to the level of impeachment, resignations and criminal prosecution…

ICE Releases 300-500 Illegal Aliens in Arizona

By The Arizona Daily Star February 28, 2013 6:55 am

About 300 people have been released from immigration detention centers in Arizona since Thursday, when the federal government started to review each case in anticipation of widespread budget cuts.

“As fiscal uncertainty remains over the continuing resolution and possible sequestration, ICE has reviewed its detained population to ensure detention levels stay within ICE’s current budget,” said agency spokeswoman Amber Cargile.

All of them remain in deportation proceedings, she said. About 2,280 people remain in immigration detention in Arizona.

The move took many by surprise, and not everyone was happy to hear about it.

Gov. Jan Brewer said in a news release she was “appalled.” “This is pure political posturing and the height of absurdity given that the releases are being granted before the federal ‘sequestration’ cuts have even gone into effect,” she said.

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake called it a “deeply misguided move by DHS.”

“With more than $1 trillion in budget deficits, there are many opportunities to rein in federal spending. Releasing hundreds of detainers who have violated the law is most certainly not one of them,” he said in a written statement.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said there was “a mass release” in his county. “ICE agents were paid overtime Saturday and Sunday to release over 500 detainees in Pinal County alone,” he said in a news release.

All of the five immigration detention centers in Arizona are in the county, including the Pinal County Adult Detention Center, operated by the Sheriff’s Office.

Babeu’s numbers come from ICE supervisors in Arizona who called him directly, said Tim Gaffney, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.

“Neither law enforcement nor any of our citizens were notified of this decision until over a dozen ICE employees and supervisors notified Sheriff Babeu privately,” he wrote in an email.

It costs ICE about $164 per day per detainee at a capacity of 32,800 detention beds nationwide, according to the National Immigration Forum, an organization that advocates for immigrants.

Gaffney said the rate at the Pinal County Adult Detention Center is nearly $60 per day per detainee.

Details on who exactly is being released were not provided, but Cargile said, “Priority for detention remains on serious criminal offenders and other individuals who pose a significant threat to public safety.”

Caroline Isaacs, local program director for the American Friends Service Committee, said, “To me, it’s simply a more honest revelation of the fact that most of the people in detention don’t need to be there in the first place.” The committee is a national non-profit social justice organization.

“Eighty percent of prosecutions in the federal judicial system are for crossing the border and crossing the border again,” she said.
