Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said Friday that some of the more than 2,000 illegal immigrants recently released by the Homeland Security Department because of budget cuts may have been convicted of serious crimes, citing "local sources."
In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, McCain demanded new information on the release of the detainees, who were facing deportation, including the details of their criminal records. He said there's a possibility some of them had committed serious crimes such as smuggling, narcotics trafficking and child molestation.
Federal officials maintain those released were non-violent criminals and low-risk offenders. The states where immigrants were released include Arizona, California, Georgia and Texas.
McCain wants Napolitano to make public this month the criteria used to determine which detainees were released and how many had been convicted of serious crimes.
"Local sources have raised the possibility that some of the detainees had committed serious crimes such as weapons offenses, smuggling, narcotics trafficking, forgery, aggravated assault against police officers and child molestation," McCain wrote. "The American public needs to be confident that... the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in fact did not release detainees who will be a danger to the public."

A week and a half after the release happens and now
He lifts his head out of Obama’s shorts to voice a concern.
Now here is a real leader! /s
Why have you been mute on the issue until today?
Would it be because at the very same day and time this was happening
you were having lunch with Nero and you didn’t want many to notice?
John McCain: the enemy within!
Shut it McCain, you are a nobody now and from the looks of the illegal situation in your state, with your tenure, it’s obvious you have no credibility on the subject.
John, did you bring that subject up during the appetizer course of your dinner with Assclown? Or were you too busy grinning up at your Dear Leader, telling him how great he is, no matter WHAT they mean old Mr. Rand Paul says?
Do you know that McCAin was the most absent senator in 2008, even missed more that Obama & Hillary.
Capitol Briefing - McCain: Most absentee ‘08 Senator

“So McCain is a Ron Paul Liberartian. “
Not hardly. Paul would have cut off all the magnets...McCain throws ‘em on the border to drag ‘em in!
I never heard Paul mention anything about deporting all the family members living here illegally.
I don’t give a hoot what that POS RINO has to say... about anything.
McCain has proven time and time again that he simply can’t be trusted. His word holds zero credibility.
Frankly, I think he is mentally ill.
I don’t recall Ron Pauls position on deportation.
Let’s look:
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.

But who cares, anyway? Ron is out of office.
Bingo:
You got that right.
MeCain is the biggest camera hog in Washington and has no problem going on TV or being interviewed by the libs over at Politico to trash Rand Paul & Ted Cruz and their Conservative supporters.
Illegals care as much about visa rules as criminals do about gun purchase rules.
But who cares, anyway?
My point exactly.........who besides some of us not in congress cares?
He doesn't mean it. It just dawned on Juan that he and Lindsey had hurt themselves with their assinine criticism of Rand Paul, so now he's trying to make up for that lost ground by pretending to object to the release of the illegals.
Didn't know that and will surely pass it on.
It's always these little known pieces of information that create the BIGGER picture.
Again, THANKS!
You are very welcome. That blog is searchable and there’s more there than you ever wanted to know about McCain and some others.
Indians, Lobbyists and Arizona Politics...OH MY!

Thanks AK for the refresher course on RP. He is/was the best. He was the only reason not to have term limits.
A lot can be said about Ron Paul, it could fill several books. One thing for sure, he sure raised a good kid!
“A lot can be said about Ron Paul, it could fill several books. One thing for sure, he sure raised a good kid!”
And I might make the observation...a DAMN site better than McCain or Graham have produced!
One of the illegal aliens must have committed another crime...
John McCain is a collaborator.
