Even a stopped clock is right sometimes:

By James R. Edwards Jr.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
"... catch and release" policy. I call it "let them go."
Every day across America, this scenario occurs: In the course of his duties, a state or local police officer encounters an illegal or criminal alien. Often, he runs across several foreign lawbreakers at once. The officer contacts federal authorities. Immigration officials tell the police officer they are not coming to take the illegal alien into custody, so let him go. "

Exactly what happens here in California.

Anyone not helping to fix this problem should have their license to practice politics taken away. A whole lot of Republicans fall into that category, not just spineless Dems.

Does anyone know how to get the actual numbers for this? The widespread problem of "let them go" was inherited from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service. But INS enforcement officers developed the practice because previous administrations — Democrat and Republican — have starved the enforcement side of the house. The lion's share of "resources" has poured into the feel-good "services" side.
