Ice has released over 500,000 illegal aliens

  According to this story the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has released more than 500,000 suspected illegal aliens pending their trial date who have (surprisingly?) not shown up for their trial and are now fugitives from the law.

  This is more proof–as if any more proof was needed–that there is something terribly wrong with our immigration policy. If not the policy itself than the enforcement of that policy.

  These 500,000 people were arrested for being in the country illegally, we had them in custody but released them on a promise that they would show up for their court date. Is anybody–other than the federal government–really surprised that these illegals did not show up for their trials?

  These people should have either been held until their court date or deported, yet they were allowed to slink back into the same shadows that the Obama regime declares it wants to get them out of.

  Until we as a nation begin to take this issue seriously, we are never going to solve this problem, and this is proof that the federal government does not take this problem seriously and is not willing to do what it takes to enforce the law.

  The Obama regime’s answer to this problem would be to grant these fugitives from justice amnesty, but eliminating the illegals by making them legal is not an answer to the larger problem and will only encourage more potential illegal aliens to enter the country.

 The real solution is to deport them when we have them in custody. It seems so simple but the government is unwilling to do so for fear of alienating Hispanic voters. They have put politics above doing what is right and for that we should vote them out of office. But is there anyone out there who really takes this issue serious on either side of the aisle? I have my doubts, they all talk a good game when they are running for office (John McCain), but once elected this is one of the first issues they abandon.

  The federal government is only magnifying the problem with policies like this, they are not helping to solve the problem and I do not think they want to. On top of the asinine nature of releasing illegal aliens back into the general public there is the additional costs of trying to catch them a second time as well as the resources that are lost in time by agents looking for people that they had already had in custody.

  It is beyond time for the federal government to do their job and crack down on the illegal invasion, and if they are unwilling to do so they should step aside and let states like Arizona do the job.

  The federal government likes to claim that we simply cannot round up all of the illegal aliens, that is their excuse for granting the illegal aliens amnesty; maybe we cannot round them all up, but when we catch them the least we could do would be to send them back to their country of origin.
