If he committed a crime, extradite him, because:

Zimbabwe was fine for his purposes when he wanted to hunt there. So it’s good enough now.

And secondly, but most importantly, when people come to our country and commit crimes, then flee, we complain. Rightfully.

We either want the same rules for all, or we need to shut up about all the illegals.

Illegals/immigration is in my top three issues. We need to either be consistent, or we need to pack it in.

If he committed a crime, extradite him, because: I understand the principle you are trying to support here. In some instances I could certainly agree with you. For this case, I can't.

This principle isn't flawed, but as applied to this case, I don't think it's reasoned or supportable.

And secondly, but most importantly, when people come to our country and commit crimes, then flee, we complain. Rightfully.

Sure. If someone comes here and commits a felony or a serious misdemeanor, I would certainly entertain this argument. If someone came here and shot a protected wolf, not so much. I don't want to dismiss it, because if they did that and were caught on our soil, then they should stand before a court on the matter. If they have already returned to their home nation, I wouldn't support an attempt to extradite them.

What this guy did is not injurious to Zimbabwe or Zimbabweans long term. If he stayed in country and continued to kill wild animals, then I'm all for him being brought up on applicable charges. Illegal immigrants don't really compare to him because they are in the U. S. illegally on a long term basis. They are taking massive amounts of money from our government agencies. They are causing harm to citizens by doing this. They are also killing, raping, beating, robbing... and of course a lot more. They are also displacing U.S. Citizens in the jobs market. This guy was there legally. He left before his VISA expired.

I'm not even convinced at this moment he was violating Zimbabwe's laws. If so, I stand corrected.

Illegal immigration is my number one issue. I would feel the same if it was 25th..

We aren't even consistent with our laws on the books when it concerns illegal immigrants.

Not supporting the extradition of this man, does not make us inconsistent when it comes to illegal immigrants.

Can you ever remember is asking to extradite an illegal immigrant to face charges here related to simple illegal immigration and no extenuating circumstances?

Let’s say his crime was possessing a .45 bullet in Mexico.

Let’s say he drove back home, over the border, and someone viewed a video where they saw the bullet he had possessed.

Would you want him to be extradited back to Mexico to spend 20 years in prison, because owning .45 bullets is illegal there??

Or...let’s say he possessed a Bible in Saudi Arabia, then flew home with that same Bible.

And someone took a picture of him reading that Bible, and Saudi Arabia wants him extradited back so they can kill him for blasphemy.

Would you want to extradite him?

My point is that barbaric countries, which Zim is, have different laws and sometimes it’s barbarous to subject Americans to their injustice, as such would happen were we to send the dentist back to Zimbabwe.
