The full text of Tancredo’s letter can be found here.

If Tancredo doesn't do extremely well in the Republican primaries in '08, I will be very surprised.

[Hydroshock]

I agree the arrest of Dog was unwarranted.

[Axhandle]

“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.”

Fricken bizarro universe.

[monkeywrench]

Does anyone know anything about the Hawaiian magistrate that claims the administration urged the action against Dog?

[Red Badger]

I can't believe the Feds arrested Dog. The Mexican Federales don't cooperate with us on major criminal matters, much less minor ones like Dog's...........

[lormand]

Vincente Fox is the worst US Attorney General we have ever had.

[piceapungens]

So Alberto's thugs are going after a good American patriot in the name of the Mexican government. Why am I not surprised . . .

[Aetius]

That last line is great.

[Sir Gawain]

Tancredo, one of the last few Republicans with BALLS.

[Hannibal Hamlin]

The message to all criminals... make it to Mexico, and you're home free, because no one will risk going after you after they make an example of "Dog".

[PRND21]

Bounty-hunting is illegal in Mexico. He is a criminal and Tancredo is a hypocrite.

[HarleyLady27]

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?????

[grapeape]

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.

[Kimberly GG]

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.

[Fiddlstix]

Good Grief!

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

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.

[monday]

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.

[TomGuy]

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.

Could you change the headline to remove that 'g' and 'h' from Chapman? I don't know how that got there.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

“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.

"not so much a lack of resources as it is one of misplaced priorities"

This is the classic problem of government, state and local. Utah claims they don't have the manpower or resources to track and prosecute polygamists who engage in human trafficking of underage girls for sex and welfare fraud. But they have all the manpower in the world to try to catch people bringing beer and fireworks across the state line and run sting operations on gas stations and their own state liquor stores to make sure they're not selling alcohol to minors.
