Zero.
That’s how many questions moderator Lester Holt asked about illegal immigration at Monday’s presidential debate. For NBC News and the elite media, the issue is invisible, not important enough to be included in the public discussion.
Part of the reason is that our broken border is one of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s most popular issues.
Another reason may be that the Obama administration has tried for years to cover up just how bad the problem has become.
In fact, an official from President Barack Obama’s administration has now been caught lying to Congress while under oath about the number of criminal aliens that had been deported, and how many crimes they committed against American citizens. In fact, she appears to have covered up more than 13,000 crimes, including murders, rapes, and assaults – and one conservative lawmaker is demanding answers, right now.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Sarah Saldana has repeatedly whitewashed the illegal alien crime epidemic to Congressmen for over 17 months.
“Director Saldana testified that ICE released 30,558 criminal aliens in [fiscal year] 2014 and that those aliens had a combined total of 79,059 criminal convictions associated with them,” said Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Republican.
Unfortunately, that number is a lie.
Faced with a legally binding request from an immigration patriot group, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, ICE admitted those illegal immigrants actually committed 92,347 crimes against the American people.
“Specifically, there were 17% more convictions for homicide-related offenses, 22% more for robbery, 27% more for sexual assaults, 17% more for aggravated assaults, and 11% more convictions for domestic violence assaults,” Goodlatte said.
And it turns out Saldana may have knowingly committed perjury. ICE handed the correct numbers over to IRLI two weeks before she lied to Congress in April 2015. She has reported the same number of convictions to Congress several times, as recently as this April.
“ICE has now admitted that it knew of the additional 13,000 convictions at the time Director Saldana appeared before the committee” the first time, Rep. Goodlatte said last Thursday. “The failure to report this critical information raises serious questions about whether ICE intentionally distorted the true nature of these threats to Congress and the American public.”
Of course, the Obama administration’s top immigration official has every reason to mislead Congress. Was she trying to deflect blame? Make her boss look good? Convince Congress to hurry up and pass amnesty?
Critics say: Take your pick.
Goodlatte sent a letter to Saldana’s, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, in June — but it predictably got no answers.
So, he called Saldana before the House Judiciary Committee last week – and she said it was an innocent bureaucratic snafu, because ICE can’t just “push a button” and get the correct information.
If what she said could be believed, it was just an accident that her department kept lying over… and over… and over again.
Should we expect anything else from the Obama administration?
ICE has released more than 86,000 convicted criminal aliens onto the streets over the last three years – including at least one who has a terror-related conviction.
That doesn’t count 370,000 criminals aliens that ICE never managed to arrest in the first place.
Saldana admits releasing 19,273 criminal illegal aliens convicted of more than 64,000 crimes in 2015 but she claims her hands were tied, because — she claims — a Supreme Court decision demands that the vast majority of them go free.
If an illegal alien is supposed to be deported, but his home country refuses to take him back, the Supreme Court says that the government must let him go, Saldana argued.
Again, not true. It turns out the Supreme Court ruling only accounts for a fraction of those releases – just over 2,000.
Thousands of murderers, rapists, and thieves now walk our nation’s streets, Obama’s gift to American taxpayers.
This ticking time-bomb is just waiting to explode, needlessly killing hundreds or thousands more innocent people, unless voters start asking the hard questions about immigration that Lester Holt avoided last night.

What do you expect from this POS administration !!!!!! They would NOT be on his staff if they couldn’t lie almost as well as him or the witch clinton. They have to take a class before being put into office — it is called “Lying with a Straight Face 101” . obozo and the witch most likely are the teachers.
Would you buy a used car from Obama? I don’t think so. Both Obama and Hilary have built their entire lives around lying to get what they want. If their lips move you can bet it is a lie. I don’t think that either of them can tell the actual truth about anything, their agenda runs their lives. I for one am just plain tired of it all. Please just tell me the truth and then shut up. I don’t want your opinion, or the noise coming out of your mouth. All these talking heads from the different parties are just noise and they are all trying to sway your opinion one way or another. Tell the truth and then shut up.
That is just it. We know that Hilary is a Money Launder and that all the Foreign Money that she has in Canada, she has paid no Income Tax on. Its a slick deal. Its called the Clinton Foundation and Billie Bob is on the Board. He is just a figure head. Their Foundation collects money from any and all Foreign Groups and then its put in the account in Canada. Canada charges no Taxes on Charitable Foundations, the only Charity that this Foundation is good for is Hilary and Bill Clinton. They have received Millions upon Millions of Dollars from Foreign Donors then that money goes to 1 or two Charitable Foundations to the tune of a few thousand dollars once or twice a year. The rest Hilary and Bill Collect for their own personal use as heads of the Clinton Foundation. So they are the actual recipients of all of that money.
Do these people think we are that stupid. Maybe the democrats are but the rest of us have common sense. They have pulled the wool over our eyes long enough. How. Any more rapes and murders do we have to put up with. Vote Trump
If Hillary and Obama wish to lie it is their freedom of speech right. We’re supposed to have elected officials to monitor those public statements and investigate and initiate charges. That’s the the rub, they are not doing their job although they feel no guilt to accept payment and privileges.
Ronald, what a novel idea, tell the truth. They would most likely spontaneously combust. Why is it that we don’t hear this on mainstream media? I rarely watch the news, it’s rigged.
That is the BEST thing I have heard since this campaign began !!
When does the Republicans get a moderator? Not old chris wallas who should have retired long time ago and who is also a democrat. Why can’t Republicans stop this?
Hillary gave them all lessons! That’s why she has so much money – for being the Professor teaching our government how to lie to the public.
Hillary gave our entire government lessons on how to lie to the public with a straight face and be 100% believable. Our government has nerve to talk about what goes on I other countries. We must be the laughing stock of the world because you can’t make this stuff up!
Amen to that Garry. That is why we need Trump and that he will do even half of what he says he will do. for with Evil Lying Clinton it will be the same thing as Obama and worse. We have got to do a lot of house cleaning. For this country is in a bad condition.
Beautiful Gerry! I can’t believe that Obongoloid, his entire corrupt Administration, Killery and her entire staff both past and present, Kerry, Josh Earnest, Loretta Lynch, James Comey have not been indicted for LYING to Congress and to the American people. This HAS to be the WORST PreZident and corrupt Administration in U.S. history! They should all be in a prison cell.
Gerry, you just don’t understand! According to MSM, if we don’t release them we will be racist. Obama is just trying to level the playing field. He just can’t use nukes to do it, so he has to import these sorry bast@rds to do it for him.
Obama promised hope and change, Well, we’ve gotta hand it to him, he sure gave us hope the sorry state he has left our country in can be changed.
There is one hope if Hillary gets elected; she and Kaine both die at the same time. Then Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House (a Republican) will be President.
The only thing Obama has not lied about is that he said he was going to “Fundamental Transform America”
And with help of the Rino’s like McConnell, Boehner and now Ryan he is doing it.
I keep wondering where the Republicans are. The
political parties are both following their own agenda
rather than the good for nation and legal citizens.
True. And we trustingly assumed that “tansformation” would be good. …. Every single thing that Obongo/Soetoro has done says that HE HATES AMERICA.
Don,t Forget The POS MCAIN ! & THE BAND OF 8. SO FUNNY, THEY ACT MORE LIKE KIDS ON A PLAY GROUND ! WITH FUNNY LITTLE NAMES
And McCain
For Democrats; every illegal alien retained in the US is a probable future Democrat voter.
That is the bottom line for Democrats, it always has been and it always will be.
I have created a gang of 4 legged Democrats out back of my office, I started bringing peanuts home from Road house restaurant, Dem lil som-beach’s started coming and bringing their kinfolk! If i hadn’t put out the nuts they gang up on my back porch and cuss and shake deh damn fists at me, Well needless to say” I don’t feed the animals anymore,,, Its a true story i kid you not,,,
She needs to be prosecuted and if obummer pardon’s her, we know he was in on it and she just followed his orders!!! Start putting these criminals where they belong, jail!! If you don’t Trump will and the orders will lead straight up to obummer!!!
For some reason, there is too much power sitting in behind our elected officials.
They all have to lie once they get into Washington. I am totally surprised that
this has went on so long. They all belong in prison but it would be a federal prison where they could live very comfortable. Our prison are not prisons any more. Felons have had their rights returned to them, they have televisions, cell phones and any other comfort. So the the bigwigs would have it so good and the tax payer pays for it. I think “O” should be sued to return all his golf travel monies and their vacations.
You are a fool to think they lie “after” they get to Washington. To make their way through the political ranks, they are educated how to lie long before D. C. That is what gets them to the “inner belt”. Your local politicians lie equally as much. Never believe anyone in public office. The problem today, is “who can you trust”? Your police person? Your local minister? Your children’s teachers? Your banker? Your relatives?What happened to the good people of the 1950’s? Have they all died off? That was a time of honesty, Good quality of life. It all has gone to hell in a hand basket and brings us to what is left in today’s real world. And it “ain’t” pretty.
Unfortunately, Robert, what you say is very true. Who, exactly, do you trust. I’m sorry to say, but I don’t trust anybody. Not any longer. I certainly do not trust anybody who works for the government – local, state, federal – and that includes all politicians. Most politicians in Washington DC learned many years ago to lie, to tell constituents what they want to hear to get votes. Unfortunately, the only person most of them represent is themselves – and the lobbyists who pay them to vote a certain way disregarding all of their promises to their constituents. Politicians from both parties do it. Maybe the only way to stop it is for the people to rebel.
You have that right, local politician runs on the “I am for the youth of this city”. In high school, the last history course I took was a current affairs class called problems of democracy. We took a trip to the county courthouse to meet some of our politicians and watch a couple of court cases. This person refused to see us, yep for the youth. This action solidified my complete disdain for politicians in general. Term limits for ALL.
What else could we expect from someone with an hispanic surname.
There seems to be a situation that the law does not apply to everyone the same. Now there also seems to be a situation that if the laws are broken and it is very evident that they are, then why can they not be enforced. I understand that he Obama is caught in so many lies to cover up his lies but there is no J Edgar Hoover to enforce those laws. Why do we not have a legal system if it can not be enforced?. This seems to be impossible that anyone could be so blatant with getting away with any and everything they want to and no one has the will power and strength to find a way to enforce the law. Will all these crimes come out in fifty years after all are dead and gone and they are being read in this persons Library paid for by the people so the crimes can be viewed as history of a nation of LIAR’S! I think that because of the division in both parties that the laws will always be broken and both sides have pictures of the other side that they use to bribe each other to hide the truth and the only one who loses is the one that gets something on both parties and both parties shut that one up. The Washington Two Step that is how you get up the ladder in the USA! WHO WILL BE ABLE TO ENFORCE JUSTICE ON EARTH INSTEAD OF ALL THOSE WHO GET AWAY WITH THE CRIMES AND NEVER GET PUNISHED TILL THEY STAND BEFORE GOD. We have to find a way to make them all understand that if they go before GOD that it would be 100 time worse than it would be on EARTH. The worst part of all these lies and broken laws is that the AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VERY FORGIVING , WE ARE NOT COMMUNIST BUT OUR LEADERS ACT AS THOUGH THEY ARE DICTATORS, YES LAWS HAVE TO GO THROUGH BOTH PARTIES TO BE MADE A LAW. BUT WHEN THE ONE AT THE TOP USE EXECUTIVE ORDERS KNOWING THAT YEARS DOWN THE ROD THEY WILL GET TURNED OVER THAT IS RANSOM. WHEN YOU GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING BY EXECUTIVE ORDER AND IT GETS REVERSED IT IS ALWAYS HARD TO TAKE BACK WHAT WAS WRONG THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN. LIARS KNOW THAT!
In all fairness to Lester, last night’s debate took on a life all its own fairly quickly. Hopefully illegal immigration will be discussed in one of the future debates. I’m not sure last night’s format is all that conducive to getting substantive answers from the candidates.
All illegal aliens should be deported !!! Why would it be so hard ?? Got a green card ? NO ? Well get on the bus !!! And this Sarah lady, well. Let’s see how 20 YEARS W/ NO PAROL FEELS !!! I BELIEVE SOME MINDS WOULD BE CHANGED !!!AND IT COULD NEVER BE FORGIVEN BY ANYONE! NOT EVEN A PRESIDENT!!! THESE POS WHO CAME INTO THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALY AND COMMITTED these AWFUL CRIMES, I HAVE A CURE FOR THAT TOO !! LOAD UM UP IN THE REAR OF A C131 WITH A SPECIAL GATE IN THE REAR ABOUT HALF WAY OR SO FROM THENREAR DOOR LOAD AS MANY AS YOU CAN! TAKENUM UP ABOUT 3,000 ‘ UP AND OUT OVER THE OCEAN ABOUT A MILE FROM THE SHORE LINE OF WAT LOWER SOUTH AMERICA OPEN THE DOOR MOVE THE GATE TO THE REAR FORCING THEIR ASS’S OUT AND INTO THE OCEAN !!! MAKING IT TO THE SHORE DEPENDS ON HOW GOOD THEY CAN SWIM !!!! I HAVE A FEELING THEY WOULDNOT COME BACK !!!
The US can track a Cow with Mad Cow disease out of Canada, but we can’t do anything about the 22 million illegals here. Your joking. Oh yes. Every Governor needs to be held accountable. If your State is feeding and clothing and your using Taxpayer money on Illegals then you need to be taken out of office. Then we like you said load them on a bus send them back to the Border and tell them, hey you get home the best way you can and if your caught again in the USA you will be put on an Island and forced to figure out how to get back to where you came from. As a Taxpayer we should not be forced to give them free schooling, free lunches, welfare and reduced priced housing and free Health Care. Free Births at the hospital., We need a Border Fence and Hilary was for that a few years back until she found out that she needed the Illegals to be voting like Obama had them vote three times in one day without DL. Some States don’t care if your Legal or not.
Forget the Governors. The El Presidente OBAME should take the lead (I know he won’t do it). Give those reluctant countries a bonus for taking them in. I’m sure they will be willing to do it ASAP. Money talks. I believe it would be cheaper paying a crooked politician in the illegal’s home town than having those criminals housed in our prisons for an estimated $50 K a year. The worst case is having OBAME release them into the cities where they can go bananas and steal, rob, rape or murder one of us.
Are you out of your mind Fabiole ???? The most powerful Country in the World should begg a Foreign 2bit Counrty to take their Law braking Citizens back? Fly them in their Capital City And dump them!!! Then tell their Presidend he will get the bill for the expenses those ILLEGALS caused. Deduct the money from the FREE Billions our Governent send them every Year!
The best way to stop ILLEGAL ALIENS entering our Country! No matter were they came from! A stupid WALL will do little to stop this Nightmare!!
Non of this will happen until we get rid of our BATTALIONS of diabolical crooked LAYERS. They have always been the most evil of every SOCIETY, even SHAKESPEAR knew that.
Every Illegal get as manny Layers as needed to fight deportation for years at our Expenses!!!
I’m 100% with you. Great Idea!!!!
One day, and I hope soon the towel heads will turn on their masters (Democrats) and maybe then they will wake up to the problems caused by these people and take action to remove them from this country.
OneBigAssMistakeAmerica Sticks and stones may brake my bones, but Hillary lies will kill you. .
Vote TRUMP
That’s witnessing against KILLERY will kill you
BO, his administration and the minions in the agencies who have supported his agenda of lying and warping our government need to be punished. Their time for punishment is FAST approaching and we need to see that our reps and senators step up behing Trump.
What should have been truth for America was instead a press release for Hillorat and he questions listed by the Biased NBC broadcaster was given in strict order to Hillorat’s notes which you might has well have given her the teleprompter. This was all lie’s and to call it a debate for truth is criminal. The moral principals of the USA administration and Hillorate is unbelievable. God help us defeat these devil advocates.
Surprise, surprise their all liars – current administration at all levels.
Unfortunately, there has not been an administration since Reagan that could be trusted and I’m not too sure about that administration either. Lobbyists seem to hold more sway about how politicians vote than the people they represent. The US citizens do not matter in this country – only illegals, Muslims, and LGBT people. Great combination.
Time to tie the lying little dictator wanna be and the HIlda Beast to these lies as well. Enough is enough
Lester Holt must be on Killary’s payroll. He frequently interrupted Trump yet rarely
interrupted The lying bitch !!!!! No questions related to Benghazi,E mails,The Clinton Foundation,
Libya etc.,What has Trump’s taxes got to do with running the country ??????
Admittedly, Trump has to do better in the next debates. He appeared unprepared
compared to Killary.He cannot afford to be gentlemanly. He has to be as ruthless as
her !!!!! Concentrate on her lies about Benghazi and the server .Ask why 5 of her aides
requested imunity.
Why the hell do the Republicans ever participate in Debates run by the most VILE Communist Democrats? This has been the same since this Debakle started !
The Crooked Media make Billions on this debacle!!! This is all designed to propel the Communist MANTRA forward! What better way than using the Democrat/Communist party that has been dominating our Government for the most part of last CENTURY? They are now controlling most of our Federal Government Departments! We have now a Government that is so Vast and Overblown, they are controlling every minute of our lives! SLAVERY is a good word for this DICTATOR like GOVERNMENT! Some day we will suffocate under our Own stupidity. Of caused HILLARY/OBAMA and quite a few other Crooked people will long have disappeard to safe grounds with their BILLIONS.
It’s time to get these liars and cheaters out of our government, starting at the top. We need a real President who will do something to stop illegal aliens from entering our country with their drugs, gangs and welfare seekers. We want LEGAL immigration of people who will be assets to our country, PERIOD!!!
TRUMP 2016
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and one of our papers who always endorses Republican now Endorsed Clinton (The Cincinnati Enquirer)
REALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! like Obama – Clinton is for Socialism — I believe in American FREEDOM NO SOCIALISM !!!!!!!!!!!
first the Media is bias now the Cincinnati Enquirer is also becoming Bias —
people Really take good look at Hillary Clinton BACKGROUND ;; THE TRUTH ABOUT HER IS THERE
TRUMP 2016
Anytime you think you’ve heard it all, as if there are not enough criminals homegrown, the democrats & the administration of destruction want to open our borders & allow every criminal, terrorist, leach, & deadbeat into our country & onto our welfare roles. All these liberal idiots in Hollywood are threatening to leave the country if Trump is elected, go ahead but take a couple of illegals with you if you love them so much. The rest of us, you know the idiots paying taxes, working & paying the bills can’t afford to leave the country, your failure at socialism has robbed us beyond the point of makind a living much less be able to leave the mess you have made.
There are so many liars and cheaters in government, that lying and cheating is now a recreational activity. No one tells the truth to Congress because nothing is done, everybody gets a pass. Everyone knows that everyone is lying and that it is no big deal. Nothing is going to happen because they are all in bed together. If Hillary wins the White House, we will never know what is happening because she can’t help herself, she is just a habitual lier. She just says whatever she thinks of at the moment and not like other people who lie only a little and will get caught up in it, she is so good at it she will lie her way out of the other lie and every one just nods slowly up and down and lets it go because nothing makes any sense any longer. All logic and truth has disappeared.
“Nothing to see here,” we all say because on one can untangle all the miss-spokes and untruths. I remember hearing something when Bill was president, “if you tell a lie often enough and never deviate, everyone will eventually believe it.”
if these congressional committees can prove the stats then why not arm TRUMP with the info 4 the debate. if the mainstream media won’t allow the subject 2 be breached let there b no debate. release info. 2 online news outfits,Fox news & European news agencies. i’m sure British tabloids & the Russian news agency would b more than happy 2 spread the word.
Obozo and his administration only lie when their lips are moving and they never shut up, telling us how great he and they are.
With only three months left for Obama he definately has released a serious criminal element back into our society and who knows how many more he can release up to his final day. There is also his allowing so many Muslims to slip into our country without even local governments aware they are there. All toll before this is over and his time of destruction for the United States is through we will more than likely find out that what we see him doing that goes against the constitution and the bill of rights he will be called what he should be called a traitor. His time will come for retribution, his school records will come out and his birth certiciate will be analyzed and for those of us who knew he was an imposter everyone will see the proof once and for all.
CONGRESS…. GROW SOME BALLS…. OR WE WILL BE COMING TO HAVE YOU REMOVED!!! OUR CONSTITUTION PROMISES EVERY AMERICAN TO BE EQUAL. YOU ARE THE POLICE OF THE GOVERNMENT….. SO DO YOUR JOB AGAINST ALL CONGRESSMAN AND IMPEACH THE muslim PIG THIEF IN THE OVAL OFFICE!!! WE WANT JAIL TERM AND LOSS OF ALL BENEFITS….. AFTER ALL, HE GOT IT ALREADY….
