Up and then released they might never be found I mean have are.
That is the -- after reports about the 5000 illegal immigrants have been detained for questioning on various offenses and that let go.
Because of pending sequestration cuts.
Two quick things one why -- they released in the first place ahead of cuts that hadn't even taken effect.
And presumably wouldn't have covered these detainees once they had taken effect and do.
Where the heck are these illegals now penal county Arizona sheriff.
Calls -- -- wants to know and apparently -- you're not getting any answers what's your fear.
While these are legitimate questions to ask is hundreds criminal illegals were released just in my county.
Later we find out that its 2000 plus there was an additional 3000 that were about to be released.
And the theory is why are we letting criminals go and we don't know who they are and this these are questions -- -- -- And -- then refused numerous times and even asked secretary an apology and -- Who what what their names are what charges -- they being held on and what is your criminal history and by the way what talent since you released -- As a sheriff and all the local police chiefs across the country affected and charge would that protecting families we should know this information.
You know what's weird to Serafin you know the map -- and I do but when I herded explain I think by one.
-- official that it's actually cheaper for taxpayers.
Having them -- -- -- in being monitored.
Bye -- guess ice agents -- thinking to myself.
How could that possibly be cheaper.
You're talking about thousands of release detainees.
Who would have to be monitored by presumably quite a few monitors there is no way an act.
That would be cheaper just the Matt Clark doesn't -- up.
Not only the math doesn't add up this is insanity.
The fact that we think that somehow.
That supervised release for.
Criminal foreigners in America is gonna work.
They have no incentive to report in what are we gonna do deport them.
And clearly we haven't shown our ability to do that but all of us who these criminals are.
We have eleven plus million illegals in America and we all have difference of opinions on what we do give them.
A path to citizenship citizenship or deportation or some form.
Of any of those items yet we've all agreed at least until a few weeks ago including sector in equality and on President Obama.
That we get we identify incarcerate.
And then -- -- the 34000.
Most violent.
Or serious criminals of this group.
And these are the very people that they're releasing so they're not.
I don't know I mean nearly any violates -- apart violations something more severe but that does raise another question -- -- brought it up.
Because part of whatever.
Illegal immigration -- we come up -- so whether it's what the White House is espousing a Marco Rubio.
Part of the that the plan for eventually making the illegals -- -- eventually legal I guess.
Is that we we stick to this promised him to tighten security at the border.
And reinforce.
You know our our our.
Our attention to two.
Illegalities -- committed right now -- it's -- making -- -- of that before any of this even goes into effect if it goes into effect it makes -- question.
Certainly the administration's word on on keeping to its -- Absolutely and and here's where many believe that this was just -- an effort to turn up that the volume time they've.
Propose doomsday scenario you want to look at look at what.
It looks bad for doomsday senate is scenario look at look at this here with the release of thousands of criminals I'm hearing that these aren't.
Because we've all said these are the worst of the worse they can't have it both ways and say they aren't so bad.
I'm being told by ice agents federal agents that they have convictions not just charges of everything from weapons violations.
To drug smuggling these are cartel members to drug trafficking aggravated assault against police officers man child molestation.
Even to criminals released from my county from one another ice agent told me the -- charges.
For manslaughter.
This is simply outrageous.
And there's no answers from ice why aren't they answering who these people are.
Our I have to if you ask me who's in my jail I have to give you their name and what they're being held not.
-- banks trying to get to the bottom of that sort of did you ever -- test on -- hand but thank you sir yes.
