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 ?”
Beth is on the warpath.
Sheesh.
Bounty-hunting is illegal in Mexico.
Maybe I'll give a rats ass about that aspect when they start respecting ours...
I saw that episode. That scumbag hotel owner attacked Leland and deserved every bit of the ass-kicking that he got. If the hotel owner was so terribly wronged and was that beat up, why didn't he tell the responding cops that he wanted to press charges? He and the Chapmans exchanged apologies, parted ways, and that was it. When Barnes did that, he waived his legal rights in the matter.
Of course that's not when he is in DC trying to get his mug on every 24/7 cable news show there is and then having undocumented labor rebuild his Colorado basment into a home entertainment center and then crassly condemning those who built his basement theater.
LOL! I saw that episode. The film they took will exonerate Dog.
You love Mexico so much we'll send you there in Dog's place. Me, I have zero respect for that awful nation and zero respect for the Mexicans who invade America
No kidding, why should I give a crap about Mexican law when they dump all over our laws and our worthless cheap-labor-seeking government bends over and takes it?
Your glorious meltdown continues and is quite entertaining.
"Maybe I'll give a rats ass about that aspect when they start respecting ours..."
Amen.
That guy deserved every bit of the ass-kicking that he got. He created his own problems when he behaved like a jackass on camera and jumped Leland.
Someone should follow the money, if possible. That said, Dog should have found a Church in Hawaii and asked for "sanctuary", like Mexican Illegals can do here.
sw
Brilliant! you're not related to Yogi are you? I'm laughing too hard!
And on the other side of that coin is that Mexico is supposed to cooperate fully with the United States regarding wanted criminals that got into Mexico to avoid American prosecution. Mexico couldn't find this guy they say and Dog goes down for three days without resources and gets the guy.
IMO this is Mexico pissed off that someone paying them off was removed. Why would Mexico care to have a criminal remain in their country? Plus Dog wasn't collecting a bounty in Mexico, they were bringing the guy back to America.
Yes. And the female provoking Beth. He sounds like someone hoping to cash in.
DOG = CRIMINAL
You = Hypocrite
And you know this how? They probably have film that incriminates Chapman, but that got left out of the TV show.
Oh yes. She called Beth a "fat bitch" about 50 times.
