Washington, DC U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) criticized Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in a letter to the Justice Department in the wake of media reports yesterday that the U.S. Marshals raided the Hawaii home of Duane Dog Chapman at the direction of the Mexican government.
A spokeswoman for the Marshals Office confirmed yesterday that an arrest warrant was signed Wednesday by a federal magistrate in Hawaii at the urging of the administration. Chapman could now be extradited to to face criminal charges for successfully capturing Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta in 2003. Luster, who was wanted in the for rape is now serving a 124-year sentence.
This Administration routinely tells Congress that they cannot secure our borders and immigration system due to a lack of resources. We are told that the U.S. Attorneys offices in Border States are simply overwhelmed with cases and cannot prosecute all the violations even serious ones, said Tancredo.
Somehow this administration has plenty of time to track down a Mexican drug smuggler and give him immunity so he can testify against our Border Patrol agents, said Tancredo referring to the prosecution of two Border Patrol agents facing 20 years in prison for wounding a Mexican smuggler during the course of their normal duties earlier this year.
Americans are apparently supposed to happily accept presence the roughly 100,000 criminal aliens inside our borders a number that is growing every year while the Marshals use their resources to track down Dog Chapman on orders from a foreign master for successfully brining a convicted rapist to justice.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the real problem with this administrations inability to address the failures of U.S. border security policy is not so much a lack of resources as it is one of misplaced priorities, concluded Tancredo, Im beginning to wonder who is in charge of prioritizing assignments at DOJ. Is it this administration or the one in Mexico City ?
I will pitch in, if it is a one way trip.
I ain't the one having the meltdown, taom tancredo is with his support of a bail jumper.
How about you?
Nope.
Niether are they automatically wrong.
I saw that episode.
You saw only what they edited and broadcast. The cutting room floor may prove you right or it may prove you wrong.
I'm sure you were just in hurry to reply when you wrote your post.
You should learn to express yourself ...tell us what you really think about Tom Tancredo. Let it all out and you'll feel much better.
Border crossing into the US by undocumented Mexicans is also illegal? If the Mexicans would not send Andrew Luster back to the US for prosecution, why in the world would we send Dog back to Mexico for prosecution???
What a screwed up world we live in!!!!
"LOL! I saw that episode. The film they took will exonerate Dog."
As a matter of fact, the article says exactly that. police reviewed the tape and refused to charge anybody.
That kinda of soiunds like President Arlen Specter,who like tom tancredo supports a bail jumper, in Specter's case the name is eddy einhorn.
How clever, Dane is using both of his screen-names today. He's getting more sophistimicated. If this thread is like any other, he's gonna be owned like a Frenchman in a biker bar for a couple of days.
Yes, but not a felony.
I don't understand why anyone would hate Dog as much as some around here seem to. But it doesn't matter.
Go ahead and enjoy that Dog has some current struggles, but your enjoyment will be short-lived. As I posted on a different thread, if you think Dog's current problems are earned and that he deserves to suffer, have fun while you can. The bottom line, however, will be that Dog is going to cash in on this BIG TIME. He may have some discomfort for a while, but he is not going to spend any meaningful time in a Mexican jail, and he won't be forced to pay more money than he can recover from the publicity.
Dog will be a huge winner when the smoke has cleared. He will make more money and have more fans. The American public doesn't care about Mexico's laws. They don't care about the whole "woulda, coulda, shoulda" nonsense from the feds in regards to capturing Luster. The feds can say "but we coulda got the guy" all they want, that doesn't change the fact that Dog DID capture the rapist punk.
If his show was listed on the stock market, it would have gone up 10 fold in the last two days.
I would like to congratulate Dog on his increasing fame. While he may not have planned it this way, I am sure he is well poised to ride the situation to new heights - like any good capitalist would! :)

We've had Jesse in 'sota ...
Too bad Hawaii's filing deadline for Governor has passed.

"That kinda of soiunds like President Arlen Specter..."
Yeah, Arlen Specter is just as conservative as Tom Tancredo.
I saw that episode, and the hotel owner was the one that provoked the confrontation. He was a total sleeze IMHO.
