Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., released data indicating that nearly a quarter of the one million aliens who have final orders of removal come from countries that refuse to accept, or that delay the acceptance of, their nationals from the United States. Although the Obama Administration has options available to take action against these recalcitrant countries, these aliens are being released to the streets every day and committing crimes, Sen. Sessions says.
Data the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest obtained from ICE indicate that, as of June 25, 2016, there were 953,806 aliens in the United States with outstanding orders of removal, 242,772 of which come from countries that refuse to take back their nationals after they receive final removal orders. Of the 242,772, 57,029 were convicted of criminal offenses, or roughly 30 percent of the criminal aliens with removal orders in the United States—including 28,733 from Cuba, 7,705 from Vietnam, 2,140 from Haiti, and 1,848 from China.
