US weighs mass release of migrants over budget woes
Story by By Bernd Debusmann Jr - BBC News, Washington  •

A  senior US immigration official has said that authorities plan to release thousands of migrants from detention amid a severe budget crunch.

The official from US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told CBS, the BBC's US partner, that between 4,000 and 6,000 migrants could be released.
 
A bipartisan border bill that would have funded immigration detentions collapsed last week.

More than 6.3 million migrants have entered the US illegally since 2021.

ICE is currently holding approximately 38,000 migrants in long-term detention facilities.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I fail to see how dumping all these illegals onto the streets where they will be given welfare for their total existence is going to help? :shrug:
