\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this really is unprecedented. It\u2019s not getting any attention. It\u2019s not getting any commentary whatsoever. It\u2019s barely even being reported. But, I mean, this is serious stuff. The president of the United States has opened up the jails. The president of the United States, because of budget cuts which have not happened yet, has released 500 or so illegal immigrants, and, by definition, of law, they are criminals. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We mentioned this late in the program yesterday. Hundreds of illegal alien criminals have been released from illegal alien jail. Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano says that because the sequester is gonna cut 1% of their $2 billion detention budget, they will no longer be able to afford to detain as many as 30,000 criminals. Now, not all of those have been released yet. This is the president of the United States. Look, folks, I understand that we\u2019ve gotta be very careful here in how we approach criticism of Obama, but, man, this is unprecedented. This is actually action that will do harm. <\/p>\n

Now, I know Obama thinks that he\u2019s harming Republicans. This is exacting harm on the country, and it\u2019s entirely unnecessary. None of these so-called budget cuts are necessary. None of this panic is necessary. It is not even going to be felt in reality if the sequester actually does happen. We read the three-paragraph report from the AP on this near the end of the program yesterday, but there hasn\u2019t been much mention of it in the rest of the Drive-By Media. I\u2019ve only seen one article buried in the New York Times on a report from Fox News. Fox is reporting 500 illegal alien criminals were released in Pima County, Arizona, alone. Apparently Obama never gets tired of sticking it to Arizona. <\/p>\n

The New York Times reported that there were reports of releases in more than a dozen other locations all over the country. Can you imagine any other president doing this in a fit of pique? “Okay, I\u2019ll show you.” You know, folks, I\u2019m gonna tell you something. In what used to be considered, if we can remember this far back, normal, sane times, this is an impeachable offense. This is in direct violation of the oath of office. Defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and the people. We\u2019re opening the doors of prisons before the sequester has even happened, before there have even been any budget cuts. This is so childish, except the consequences are real for people that live nearby these detention centers. This is on-the-ground, hard, cold reality. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obama is trying to see to it that the Republicans are being blamed for whatever happens. I mean, there\u2019s a reason that we put people in jail in this country. They violated the law. They\u2019re not in jail for any other reason. They\u2019re jailed properly. They\u2019re considered a threat, and now they\u2019ve been let go and they\u2019re in the process of being let go. Fox is reporting that Homeland Security plans to release up to 10,000 illegal alien criminals eventually. And, by the way, once they\u2019re let go, once they\u2019re released, what do you think the odds are that they\u2019re gonna be rounded up, recaptured, and re-incarcerated? I don\u2019t think so. <\/p>\n

The pure cynical view is that Obama has just let loose 30,000 new Democrat voters. It\u2019s unreal, folks. It\u2019s unreal. And, of course, I\u2019m trying not to get hysterical about this. I don\u2019t want to scare the 24-year-old women in the audience, who I\u2019m told I intimidate simply by being me. I mean, it\u2019s unreal. This is action that is clearly not in the best interests of anybody. But somehow it\u2019s gonna redound to Obama\u2019s benefit. Now, for the record, these illegal aliens that are being released really are criminals. Otherwise they would never have been detained. It was the regime that detained \u2019em in the first place. These are not Bush\u2019s prisoners. These are Obama\u2019s prisoners. They were detained and imprisoned by the regime in the first place. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget, thanks to Obama\u2019s various executive orders, ICE, the immigration people, no longer detain any illegal aliens unless they\u2019ve been convicted of a serious crime. That\u2019s who we\u2019re talking about here. You have to commit a serious crime before we detain you, if you\u2019re illegal. So this isn\u2019t just a bunch of discriminated against freedom fighters that have been wrongly jailed finally seeing freedom at all. These really are convicted criminals that are being released. And somehow it\u2019s being blamed on the Republicans. This whole idea is Obama\u2019s. He\u2019s the one that gives the order to Janet Napolitano to release these people. Republicans couldn\u2019t order this if they wanted to and yet they\u2019re going to end up getting the blame for it. <\/p>\n
