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 ?”
Because Dog when and got this criminal out of Mexico. Otherwise Luster would still be there, protected by your Mexican friends with his bribes
P.S.: #1 on Amazon, #3 for two weeks in a row on the New York Times' list, #1 on the New York Times bestselling political list and on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today lists.
I'll take that kind of failure.
I plan on voting for him. He is the ONLY candidate for the office of president as far as I am concerned.
McCain is a losing proposition.
Typical of you Buchananites...all the attention span of a gnat, and about the same IQ.
Are you serious?! Wait...never mind. You are a Buchananite. Your mind must work that way.
George W. Bush won the presidency twice, the second time with over 60,000,000 votes, the most votes for any candidate in the history of democratic elections anywhere in the world. Tell me, how many times was it that Buchanan won the presidency?
1. You are the only person in this discussion to use the word failure.
2. YOU aren't taking anything. You didn't author the book, Buchanan did. You didn't get the advance, if there was one. Buchanan did. You won't get the income from whatever sales it generates. Buchanan will. Only young children and adults who never matured can't separate themselves from their idols.
Hawaii is a socialist state. That fact is suppressed to soothe the tourist trade.
"Are you serious?! Wait...never mind. You are a Buchananite. Your mind must work that way."
Oh wait, you're a Bushbot, your mind must be slow. You said primary vote, did you not? How many votes in the general is irrelevent to what you wrote. Of course Bush's political career is better than Buchanan's.
"Tell me, how many times was it that Buchanan won the presidency?"
Zero.
"1. You are the only person in this discussion to use the word failure."
Nothing gets by you it seems. But acting as if Buchanan's book is not doing popular, by trying to downplay it's sales like you were obviously doing, sure had an aura, if nothing else, of you trying to say Buchanan's book was failing.
"YOU aren't taking anything. You didn't author the book, Buchanan did. You didn't get the advance, if there was one. Buchanan did. You won't get the income from whatever sales it generates. Buchanan will."
No s***, Sherlock. I don't see where I even gave the impression of thinking this. Maybe it's really you, Mr. Bushbot, who hasn't matured past your idol, seeing as how you attack anyone you feel is hostile towards him when it's nothing more than simple debate and disagreement. That must be why you're so vile towards Buchanan and Tancredo, they don't lockstep with your golden cow, right?
ROTFLMAO.........that is a great idea.
Congress needs to threaten impeachment hearings against Gonzales immediately unless Chapman is released, and the charges against the Border Patrol agents dropped. All funding to the DoJ should be CUT OFF. Enough is enough. Does our Justice Department serve the American people, or the Mexican government?
Molesting kids is a crime here. I say good on him...even if he is named "Dog." :p
Mexico is a criminal regime. We have no business enforcing their corrupt "laws" for them against American citizens, while they export their poverty and import and protect the rapists and murderers of Americans.
Who do you stand with? The victims of Andrew Luster, the widow and children of Detective Donald Young, or the criminal thugs who run Mexico and harbor criminals who victimize Americans? There is no middle ground.
Great line!!!
I love to laugh about the mess we're in. Otherwise, I'd cry.
Very interesting and complicated as well.
Thanks for the post, I'll have to read more about this stuff for sure.
Apparently, Mexico's Supreme Court has overturned the rule concerning no extradition for capital cases.
According to news this morning, Chapman is now out on bail in Hawaii. Hope he doesn't jump bail again.....
Frankly Rice isn't worthy of the ticket. Her efforts against
Israel disqualify her completely!
