Quote: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that the Homeland Security Department official in charge of the agency’s immigration enforcement and removal operations has resigned after hundreds of illegal immigrants were released from jails because of government spending cuts. In an email obtained Wednesday by the AP, Gary Mead told coworkers that he was leaving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the end of April. Mead is the head of enforcement and removal operations at ICE. Mead had told co-workers of his resignation in the email sent Tuesday, hours after U.S. officials had confirmed that a few hundred illegal immigrants facing deportation had been released from immigration jails due to budget cuts. President Barack Obama’s spokesman said Wednesday the White House was never consulted but described the immigrants as “low-risk, non-criminal detainees.”

Pity you're apparently unable to persuade anyone to have sex with you without paying them for it or forcing them into it. Can't say I'm really surprised though, given the wit you two charmers generally show around here.

Those "budget cuts"? Or the "budget cuts" that equate to 2% of the $3.5 trillion dollar budget? Those "budget cuts"? No. This $85 billion is the most efficient and well-used money in govt. This money secures the borders, runs immigration detention, pays for both TSA security AND the Air Traffic Control System, runs the US Navy, 800,000 civilian DOD employees, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and marines, pays for all the teachers and firefighters, allows families to borrow money for new homes and college, keeps people healthy, inspects meat, and is the only thing between you and terrorists taking over your home town. I say we keep this $85 billion...cause we need it. The rest of the $3,000,000,000,000.00 some odd dollars I think we can do without.

Since there are only about 155 million folks currently employed, the Government will have to hire an additional 15 million just so 170 million can lose their jobs.
