How About Sending Them Home?


I have never felt safer and more secure then I do now with the Department of Homeland Security headed by Janet Napolitano ... not. I haven't forgotten that she labeled folks who attended the Tea party Protests as a threat and gave a very weak rebuttal to the report that came out of her department that portrayed military veterans has ripe fodder for extremist groups.

Well, now Janet is proposing that the cost of holding ILLEGAL immigrants in our jails is just too high so she wants to move them to hotels and nursing homes.
Detainees who are not criminals could be kept in hotels and nursing homes, according to leaks of the plans.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is expected to give details of the plans later.
To make her case she argues that housing the detainees in this manner would only cost about $14 a day compared to the $100 a day for keeping them in jails. Are these Obama flunkies just pulling numbers out of their butt and expecting us to swallow it? Will any reporter ask how she can find a hotel for $14 a day? My mom spent the last years of her life in a nursing home and I can safely assure you it cost more then $14 a day. This preliminary report also doesn't mention whether these hotels and nursing homes would be vacant of other residents prior to moving the illegals in. How would you like granny sharing a room with a Ecuadoran immigrant awaiting their deportation hearing? That $14 a day would barely cover the food bill.

Of course, her proposal includes ramping up the health care treatment for these folks while they are our guests.

How about this, Janet? Set up a court system that hears nothing but these deportation cases, have them operate 24 hours a day and give these people a ticket out of the country.
