In what is clearly a shot across the bow at Republican obstructionism on the sequester, the Federal government today released hundreds of detained immigrants as a "cost saving" measure.
You can bet that if the sequester happens, those hundreds will turn into thousands.
And you can bet that Republican activists are going to be calling their congresscritters in record numbers demanding that the GOP actually -- govern the darned country for a change.
Obama to GOP: Check. Your move.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) noted the ICE announcement on his Twitter feed with some skepticism as well.
“Was this really the only way to save money?” he wrote.

Now just think ... all the gains we've made on the border and new hires for boarder patrolling ... now an across the board cut.
Looks like a more hurt to Republicans Boarder states to me ...
