Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security recently revealed that arrests for child sex crimes during the first two years of Operation Predator have exceeded 6,000 and 85 percent of them are criminal immigrants.

Wait a minute, Operation Predator is a program to go after immigrants who are child predators. Why is it any surprise 85% are immigrants. It's like proncouncing that speed traps usually catch drivers. Am I missing something?

85% are "criminal" immigrants - as in known criminal histories.

Exactly...I was about to post this.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but just go to your law enforcement data base on Sexual Predators and the MAJORITY are good old fashioned home grown Americans.

This is just a report on a project that targets immigrants.

Actually, it is significant. Many child abusers go on legal trips to places where they can procure children for their perversions. So 15% of the sickos caught in Operation Predator were probably here on a tourist or student visa, legally.

That 85% of them were even in this country illegally says a lot. President Bush has these life-threatening rapes of children to answer for. Child rape, terrorism, the ruination of the middle class (here in So CAL): there are very good reasons to stop criminal entry.
