President Obama unleashed a nation-wide crime wave when he directed his deputies to release 36,007 foreign criminals back into Americans neighborhoods in 2013, instead of repatriating the criminals, according to a list of crimes released Friday, Jan. 30.
But GOP senators kept the list secret until after Obama's nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, completed her confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
Had the list been made public at the hearing, GOP senators could have pushed the media to focus on the huge cost of Obama's 2010 decision to minimize enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws.
But that attention would have also increased public pressure to reject Lynch, who is supported by Democrats and their allies in the media. There's little or no evidence that Republican leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, want to reject Lynch, or to encourage a 2016 debate on Obama's business-backed — but very unpopular — push for greater immigration.
Currently, Lynch has open support from a few Republican senators, and is on track for confirmation, despite her endorsement of Obama's decision to not enforce popular immigration laws.
