Why Betty Joan Perske and Not John S. McCain?



Well, folks... it appears we now have the answer to the question I kept posing within last night's last newsbite!

Thank you Washington Times... thank you Stephen Dinan!

*  *  *  *  *  *

Between Feb. 9 and March 1, ICE released 2,226 immigrants, and 622 of those had criminal records, including 34 “Level 1” offenders, which includes all aggravated felony convictions.

(San Francisco’s ICE office alone released 11 of those Level 1 offenders.)

When the releases became public, ICE agents tried to re-arrest many of the immigrants, picking up 24 of the Level 1 offenders, 30 Level 2 offenders who had lesser felonies or multiple misdemeanors and four Level 3 offenders who had a misdemeanor conviction.

The releases were so haphazard that only one of two dozen ICE offices had a lawyer available to review the detainees it was releasing, the IG said.

The investigators said ICE didn’t realize it was breaking the law in releasing some of the immigrants until it was informed by House staffers.

* I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT "IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE." WEREN'T YOU...?

* SERIOUSLY, FOLKS... WEREN'T YOU...?!?!

Many of those released were already deemed “mandatory” detainees due to their criminal history.

* "MANDATORY." (PRETTY FRIGGIN' CLEAR LANGUAGE IF YOU ASK ME!)

But it took weeks before ICE issued orders to go out and try to rearrest them, according to a time line compiled by investigators.

* WHO... IS... RESPONSIBLE...?

* IS RADHA SEKAR RESPONSIBLE...?

* WHAT IS THE NAME... OR WHAT ARE THE NAMES, PLURAL... OF THOSE WHO SIGNED OFF ON THE ILLEGAL RELEASES? (IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION, IS IT NOT?)

In its official reply, ICE said it was “committed to addressing the issues” raised and asserted it’s already begun.

* N*A*M*E*S...?!?!

Part of the problem is that while the law requires ICE to maintain a daily average of 34,000 detention beds, it only has funding for about 31,000. The rest of the money comes from fees or transfers from other accounts, which fell short in 2013.

* NOT... MY... PROBLEM...

* FOLKS... IMAGINE (FOR WHATEVER REASON) THERE WAS A SHORTFALL IN YOUR INCOME VS. YOUR EXPENSES. YOU'D FIGURE IT OUT, RIGHT? YOU'D PRIORITIZE, RIGHT? YOU WOULDN'T KEEP THE "ENTERTAINMENT BUDGET" WHERE IT WAS WHILE NEGLECTING TO PAY THE MORTGAGE - WOULD YOU?

Instead of asking for full funding for 34,000 beds, the administration has asked to lower the number to about 30,500 beds instead — even as it acknowledges it needs more beds to house the Central American families surging across the border this year.

* FOLKS... THIS IS INSANITY! THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM!

In its official response, ICE also took pains to distinguish between detention beds and actual detainees — suggesting that while Congress requires it to maintain space, the administration argues it is not required to make sure those beds are actually filled.

* ARE... YOU... FU^KING... KIDDING... ME...?!?!

* FOLKS... OUR GOVERNMENT IS SO OUT OF CONTROL... THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH SO BRAZEN... THE MEDIA SO LARGELY COMPLICIT... THAT THIS IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S OFFICIAL PUBLIC RESPONSE!

“The language of the provision from the appropriations act does not indicate a specific daily population but rather requires DHS to maintain a level of detention beds,” said Radha C. Sekar, executive associate director of management and administration at ICE, adding that it was “important to clarify” the difference.

* THIS SON OF A BITCH SHOULD BE IN JAIL...!!! INSTEAD... HE'S COLLECTING A SIX-FIGURE SALARY, PERKS, BENEFITS, PENSION POINTS, AND IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF HE HAS BEEN AWARDED "PERFORMANCE BONUS" PAYOUTS BY HIS BOSSES!

Mr. McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, fired off a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday urging him to come up with a stricter policy for determining who gets released.

(*CLAP...CLAP...CLAP*)

* WOULDN'T IT BE COSMIC JUSTICE... KARMA... IF JOHN MCCAIN WERE TO BE... er...

(*SILENCE*)

(I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT... I'M NOT GONNA WRITE IT... I'LL LEAVE IT TO EACH OF YOU READING TO "FILL IN THE BLANK.")

* ...BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN?!

They pointed to the case a week ago of two illegal immigrants from Mexico — both of whom news reports said had been repeatedly deported — who were charged with murdering an off-duty Border Patrol agent in Texas.

* THEY "POINTED TO THE CASE," HUH? WOW... HOW... er... SENATORIAL.

* FOLKS... THESE BA$TARDS IN WASHINGTON ARE WORKING FOR SOMEONE... BUT IT'S NOT THEIR CONSTITUENTS... IT'S NOT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER...

Yet another illegal immigrant with a criminal record was driving on the wrong side of the road with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit and killed a police officer in Mesa, Arizona, in May, the senators said.

They demanded Mr. Johnson lay out steps to make sure no unplanned releases of illegal immigrants occurs in the future.

* HOW'BOUT PUNISHING THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ILLEGAL RELEASES OF THE PAST...?!?!
