Tancredo Slams Administration for Arrest of Bounty Hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman

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, “I’m beginning to wonder who is in charge of prioritizing assignments at DOJ. Is it this administration – or the one in Mexico City ?”

Doesn't the "DOG" arrest people and take them in because they have broken the law....whether here or elsewhere????

Soooooo.....what's the problem? He broke the law, is he any better than anyone else or is his middle name "KENNEDY" or something????

If you and I did something like this, wouldn't they come after us?????

We need to turn this into a political issue right now. The Bushs' are just too close to the Mexicans.. We need to make double sure that next candidate does not have the connections with this disaster to the south.

I don't think there will be a mexican ***s left to kiss by the time this "Administration" leaves office. '08 cannot come a minute too soon as far as I'm concerned. For the sake of our sovereignty and national security, border security and illegal immigration MUST be made a priority by Republicans and even then, it will take us years, if ever, to undo the damage caused by the OBL.

We need MORE Dog Chapmans with access into Mexico to bring back a host of other criminals.
Tell you what Fox, we will trade one thousand illegal mexicans for one illegal american. What a deal!

I think Duane prays too much on his TV show, so they had to get him off the air. It was offending the prisoners watching TV at Guantanamo.

Rape is illegal in the United States. Good luck getting Mexico to send someone back here to face justice.

Rape in the US has nothing to do with this case.

I can't believe the Bush administration is going to send a US citizen to a prison in Mexico. Mexico never sends their citizens to the US for trial, even rapists and murderers. I wonder if Fox is somehow blackmailing Bush? It's the only explanation.

So it's ok for Dog the bounty hunter to skip his bail in Mexico?

Sounds like a coward to me.

What, you mean aside from the fact that the sleazebag Dog brought in was convicted of rape in the United States?

Here's the perfect solution:

Dog could convert to Mexican, then come back across the border as an illegal. Then he will have more protection and rights by the US government than actual American citizens have.

You're kidding, right? From the moment they cross our damn border the Mexicans are illegal. Yet Mexico ENCOURAGES it. Dog went after a MURDER who was from the UNITED STATES. Of course it was illegal, but it doesn't compare to the crap Mexico allows it's people to come here and do, drugs, murder, theft, rape, not to mention pillaging our social services and medical services; the list goes on forever.
