Department of Homeland Security Releases Illegal Immigrant Data to Congress

The secretary of Homeland Security should be fired for her stupid decision and her lack of leadership. This is a department that wasted tax payers' money for parties. Is she under Obama's direction to do so? I will not fall for this type of tactics again. From now on, I will vote Republican. It is not because I like Republicans, but rather to stop crazy liberals like her.

On July 24,1011 my brother Gregory Homola was Killed by an Illegal Immigrant that was release instead of deported. When he killed my brother it was his 4th DUI. ICE let him go to return for a court date to be deported!!!! We need to stop this from happening to others. The man is in Lake County Jail in Waukeegan, Illinois on 2 Million Dollar Bond. Court date again on March !4,2012

I've been ordered removed bu an immigration judge in 2010 . I came to the states legally in 1985 as a refugee. However I made one mistake and now I'm being deported . But my country is not issuing any travel documents at this time . So ICE released me on parole . Is this a second chance or am I just waiting to go .

Americans are entitled to the information turned over to Congress by Homeland Security. We do not need to know the names but we should know what Homeland Security is or is not doing to protect us.
This is a hot button issue and we have an election coming up soon. We need to know what posistions and actions our candidates will take regarding out illegal immigration problems. This problem has a large impact on our economy and jobs ,which are huge issues right now. Therefore,all information available needs to be public in order to make an informed decision for all.

AMERICA WAKE UP... BEFORE YOU LOSE IT ALL.
Watch on youtube "Aztlan Rising"
and then ask yourself, how can the Democratic party, support such an anti-american movement, by supporting, protecting and even encouraging illegal immigration.

American voters must be among the most ignorant voters in the world. They keep voting in Republicans or Democrats who are bank rolled by the same elite who have been tag-team raping them for years.
They can't see that the same 1% who rape them are the same 1% who rape the undocumented.
Failed immigration is created and designed by the elite who run both governments. This is no different than failed mortgages, failed health care, loss of jobs, and our failing economy. This insidious 1% causes these failures because they profit at the expense of both the US taxpayers and the Mexican undocumented.
Are American voters really so propagandized that they can't figure out why not one single U.S. politician criticizes the Mexican government for anything? The undocumented would not come or stay here if that filthy, corrupt co-trading partner of the American elite would take care of its own citizens. The majority of undocumented care deeply about their families and would stay at home if they could make a decent living wage working with their families.
Its about bi-national drug profits, trade, oil, remittances, the privatization of prisons, cheap labor, weapons profit, NAFTA, and a 40 year long political platform that only sways back and forth, and never forward.
I invite OWS to embrace the undocumented who are protesting. Shame on both these pitiful governments who fail to address the immigration nightmare that they profit from.

And according to DHS, those estimated 200,000 people released may not all be illegal immigrants since the DHS database can return information on legal residents and naturalized U.S. citizens as well, something that raised privacy concerns for Judiciary Committee Democrats.
--------------That matters, too, since even legal residents and naturalized citizens can be deported IF they commit the "wrong" infractions. Drug charges come to mind.
