Homeland Security has made some gains in detaining criminal aliens, but still released into the community nearly 20,000 immigrants last year who’d already been convicted of crimes — including hundreds charges with sexual assault, kidnapping or homicide — according to figures sent to Congress this week.

A Focus On Liberty by Bill B. May, PhD
The goal of the NewsBalance site is to educate readers on politics and economics using the principles of Liberty. If we think that schools fail us in basics like math and English, think about sending our children into the real world with virtually no education in economics. The education in politics is little better because it lacks any substantive discussion of the unintended consequences of well-meaning politicians or the monopoly nature of government. Both of which fail the citizenry compared to free enterprise where mistakes are either soon corrected or the business fails so that another one with better ideas can take its place.
Liberty is a fundamental yearning of humans, right behind satisfying hunger and comfort. People as young as two yearn want to do things their way. If we must be governed to keep an orderly society, that government should focus on protecting people’s liberty and we should not allow government to violate our liberty itself. That is the focus.
