Exclusive: ‘Catch & Release’ Program Undermines Border Security
Michael Cutler


If, as the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words," check out news report posted by the NBC affiliate station in Nashville, Tennessee.

"Catch & Release" is the program by which ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the United States Border Patrol, an agency that operates under the aegis of CBP (Customs and Border Protection) arrests illegal aliens and then releases them with the expectation (wink, wink) that these illegal aliens will show up voluntarily for hearings conducted by immigration judges to determine if these illegal aliens should be removed (deported) from our country.

Under this program these agencies that operate under the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) get to create the illusion that they are earning their keep, arresting illegal aliens just as the citizens of our nation expect they will do, while it is all but a foregone conclusion that illegal aliens who are released after being arrested will simply vanish into communities around our country and hide out, waiting for amnesty under "Comprehensive Immigration Reform."

I absolutely loved what Davidson County Sheriff Darron Hall had to say:

"It tells me that we're picking sand up with a fork.â€
