What did you expect?

One of the largest cocaine importers in the history of the country operated out of his jurisdiction while a US District Attorney in Arkansas and Asa never laid a finger on ole Barry Seal and the boys. He's a go along get along guy if ever there was one.

The Truth

[AmericanInTokyo]

I might add that Asa said the individuals leaving Mexico found dead in the truck were 'seeking freedom'.

By that criteria, a) he has just insulted the Republic of Mexico as people are leaving it for 'freedom'... and b) they were not illegal aliens leaving based on economics, but rather political refugees.

At any rate, his speech was a patent endorsement and 'look the other way' position on the illegal alien inflow problem. It almost sounded like a Democrat, for what he patently LEFT OUT of the speech.

You forgot to point out he used to head the DEA. THE FREAKIN' DEA! You can't get much more cynical than Asa Hutchinson. Anyone thinking Homeland Security is about keeping Joe Citizen secure is totally deluded.

The Republicans want the illegal immigrants for their cheap labor, and the Democrats want them for their votes.
