The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano to provide a list of illegal and criminal immigrants who have been flagged by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents but have not been detained or placed in removal proceedings.

Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said the department faces the possibility of a contempt citation if it does not comply by Friday. He said the committee has sought the information for four months as a part of its oversight responsibility in trying to determine whether criminal immigrants intentionally released by ICE have committed additional crimes.

Mr. Smith said the information, sought through a committee subpoena, would be used to inform Congress on the problem of criminal immigrants and their affect on public safety.

“To comply with the subpoena, DHS must provide the committee with a list of aliens ICE identified but did not process for removal … But you still refuse to provide the initial list that contained this information,â€

All seven Republicans on the panel voted to authorize the subpoena, while all four Democrats opposed it, arguing the administration is making a good-faith effort to compile the information and should be given more time.

Does anyone in Congress do what is right, do any of them think for themselves? Seems more and more the Dems stick together and the Reps stick together, like some kind of sport. It is so obviously political it is disgusting.

============================================

Not until the American People strip Congress, The Senate, and the President of the Unconstitutional powers they have been wielding over us for the past fifty years will this country ever return to being the Republic it was founded upon.

Not until congress and senate terms are reduced to FOUR YEARS with ZERO * ZERO * RETIREMENT and no higher annual income than the AVERAGE NATIONAL AMERICAN INCOME will we be able to clean out this RAT'S NEST.

What company, business, corporation, or organization is there other than the congress and the senate who can hold secret meetings late at night behind closed doors without the consent of their constituents and VOTE THEMSELVES PAY RAISES?

CORRUPTION REIGNS!
