Catch and Release for Low-Priority Illegals Proposed

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency charged with guarding the U.S. borders, has written a secret draft policy that would let its agents catch and release low-priority illegal immigrants rather than bring them in for processing and prosecution.

The policy, which has not been signed off on, would be the latest move by the Obama administration to set new priorities for the nation’s immigration services, and would bring CBP in line with other Homeland

Security Department agencies that already use such “prosecutorial discretion.”

The policy was detailed in an internal memo obtained by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith and reviewed by The Washington Times, which confirmed the document.

well if it's catch and release maybe we should turn border patrol activities over to DNR since they have more experience with catch and release.

Maybe have a whole tournament surrounding this idea. What would be the best bait? Can we release them on the other side of the border? Should they be tagged?:)
