Lock Your Doors -- Huge Prison Breakout

 Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: During a White House event with local law enforcement officials yesterday, President Obama once again pitched his quasi-amnesty plan for illegal immigrants. He did so under the guise of easing the burden on local police.

Here's the logic: Because the federal government isn't enforcing our immigration laws, some states and communities have taken it upon themselves to do what they can. But Obama told the officers that those popular state laws enabling local authorities to assist with immigration enforcement were "not a good use of our resources. It's not smart."

The president's comments come on the heels of a report detailing the federal government's release of tens of thousands of criminal aliens. According to CBS News, the 36,007 convicted illegal immigrants released "represented nearly 88,000 convictions, including: 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions, 1,075 aggravated assault convictions … and 16,070 drunk or drugged driving convictions."

Mr. President, what is not smart is releasing hundreds of murders, rapists and drunk drivers back into our communities!

Responding to this news, Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas said, "This would be considered the worst prison break in American history, except it was sanctioned by the president and perpetrated by our own immigration officials. …They willfully and knowingly put the interests of criminal immigrants before the safety and security of the American people."

Speaking Of "Not Smart" The Obama Administration continues to give away billions of your hard-earned tax dollars to illegal immigrants. The latest report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration finds that in 2013 the IRS made between $13 and $15 billion in "improper payments" related to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

This scandal has been going on for years. Republicans have tried repeatedly to stop it, but liberal Democrats keep blocking them. For example, when it was learned that last December's budget agreement cut benefits to our veterans, Senate Republicans tried to restore those funds by closing the EITC loophole.

That would seem like an easy choice: taxpayer dollars for veterans or illegal immigrants. But Senate Democrats tabled the measure. And the fraud continues. Keep that in mind when you cast your ballot this November!
