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 ?”
I was shocked when I heard Dog has been arrested. You'd think the feds would have better things to do, like hunt down terrorists in our country.
Uh Dane..
With a name like "Dog" you know hes going to end up like ALL dogs in Mexico..... in a burrito.Wheres your compassion?
I read as much of your post as I could without becoming completely bored.
I don't like the fact that Mexico won't send back criminals either.
But using that to disregard Dog's crime is Not Conservative."
You don't like the fact that Mexico HARBORS and ABETS criminals wanted by the U.S., but you're willing to turn an American citizen(who did a service for the People) over to Mexico.
Let me guess, you've never broken a single law in your life?
Talk about hypocrites.
And Dog always has a shot in his office with Bush's picture in the background. Seems to be proud to display it.
I bet that stops in the next episode after this farce plays out.
Rice would spit in his eye.
You're not Rice.
LOL.
Our energy is better spent tracking down people who commit crimes against our own citizens.
I don't put mexican laws "up there". I put valid U.S. Signed treaties up there, as they ARE U.S. laws. We have a valid treaty of extradition"
Doesn't a treaty work both ways?
If one party breaks the treaty,doesn't that nullify the treaty or do you keep your side of a one-sided treaty?
Are you willing to obey ANY law that gets passed?
The next time you go one mile over the speed limit, go to the nearest cop, tell them you broke the law and demand a ticket.
He was then set up for a bogus insurance fraud by Slick Willies chief of security, Buddy Young.
A federal judge reviewed the government's case against Reed and ordered a "Not Guilty" finding placed in the record.
Mr. Reed was basically a nobody until Strobe Talbot had his magazine do a hit piece on him (see Anatomy of a Smear, Time Magazine, April 20, 1992) It was so powerful, the various powers that be, had Barry Seal's Brother-in-law (Google: Bbottoms- Free Republic) come on this forum and say it was all B.S.
Course the usual 'Bots came on the thread saying "Amen, Brother BBottoms is correct".
Jimrob finally gave bbottoms the boot.
Me?
I worked for a corrupt agency (Google: Corrupt Sheriff Steals Guns) that had sergeants in the Narcotics Division buying million dollar plus houses... plotting kidnappings .. Nicaraguans disappearing from the County Jail... booking paperwork gone.
I spoke with some of the Nicaraguans Webb mentioned in his book, and I can assure you they were not dirt bags.
I've spoke with some of the principals mentioned in Reed's book and from other research, I presently believe the proceeds from what Ollie North described as 'paste' went to a program that guided the collapse of the USSR, without it becoming WWIII. But I'm cognizant that there are parts I'm missing and I'm dealing with some people who may be responsible for homicides, for which there is no statue of limitations.
*vice president in this setting is a LEO term referring to the two bad guys doing a robbery. The V.P. waves the shotgun and draws the attention, while the so-called President walks the manager into the back and cleans out the safe.
People are arrested all the time who are not guilty of anything.
The cops are not perfect. Ask Richard Jewell, the supposed 1996 Olympic bomber.
This supposed "crime" of bounty hunting in Mexico is a farce.
In fact, the Mexicans were probably paid off by the big bucks family of Max Factor.
Then why is scumbag Luster in a California prison, if the Mexicans were paid off.
"Pat Buchanan got what percentage of the nationwide primary vote in his presidential runs?"
Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary, something Bush never did.
