Anyone in their right mind would understand the inherent risks to freeing aliens guilty of serious offenses, but unfortunately it seems the Obama administration does not. They maintain that they have been unable to get their homelands to take them back, but the reaction of George W. Bush to similar behavior shows that these countries can be brought around, it’s just that Obama doesn’t want to:
“The U.S. has only imposed sanctions on one recalcitrant nation. In 2001, the George W. Bush administration refused to issue visas to government officials in Guyana because the South American nation refused to accept 113 of its citizens who had been ordered removed from the U.S.
The sanctions proved effective. Guyana began repatriating deported aliens soon after the sanctions were imposed.
The next year, the State Department issued a memorandum of understanding which okayed sanctions against recalcitrant nations.
When nations are refusing to accept its citizens back after being ordered removed from the U.S., ‘the Secretary of State shall order consular officers to discontinue granting nonimmigrant and/or immigrant visas, as the Secretary of State deems appropriate,’ the memo states.
During Thursday’s hearing, Pennsylvania Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Democrat, asked another witness, Michele Bond, the State Department’s assistant secretary for consular affairs, if it makes sense to ‘actually impose [sanctions] once in a great while’ rather than issue empty threats.
He asked Bond if the State Department has ever threatened or even hinted at imposing sanctions on recalcitrant countries.
‘Yes, we absolutely have,’ she said.
‘We have informed specific countries that are on the recalcitrant list that we have to see results within a time-bound period of time or there’s going to be a real likelihood that the next step would be visa sanctions.’
But in explaining why those threats have not materialized into real action, Bond said that it can often be ‘a distraction and unhelpful’ to impose sanctions.”

“Status Quo” for the ignorant far left wing liberal dingbat democrats. It’s time to remove them from office with your vote next November. Take our country back, make America great again.
It’s time to start dropping your criminals that Obama is releasing seems to me the criminals are safer in prison than they are out maybe that’s the reason why Obama is really seen them so that we can finish them up so they don’t hurt anybody else
It’s time to start killing all the criminals that Obama releases to commit more crimes and endanger our community
It going to come to people taking matters into their own hands. Exactly what this adminstrations wants. hat way marshall law can be inacted.
Obama should be arrested !!!!!!!
Oh, please don’t act like your surprised, I bet 90% that he turns lose look like him
Martin the congress can stop him problem is they don’t seem to want to. I just can’t seem to grasp hold of what is keeping them from stopping him unless it is money or fear. Maybe both, they have already put the money in their pockets now they are afraid of losing their plush positions if they take any action.
How can he be allowed to do this. What happened to our laws. Why isn’T Obama being charged for this crime. Send these prisoners to Chicago. They will have a ball. THEY can shoot each other and no one will care
Everett, I believe all Hell will Break Loose in 2016 & 2017. I hope I am Wrong, but, I don’t think I am.
No one has the guts to do anything against Obama.
