>>We already HAVE Zina’s Laws. They are the immigration laws of the United States. They require that a pedophile like Adhahn MUST be deported after their first conviction.<<

Are you sure?

Residency meant he could stay

Adhahn was an immigrant. Why wasn’t he deported after his 1990 conviction for incest?

Because federal law didn’t require it. Adhahn, 42, came to America in 1977. He became a legal permanent resident, but never filed for citizenship.

Under federal law, a single conviction for a “crime of moral turpitude” doesn’t warrant deportation for a legal permanent resident, Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Friday.

“One conviction wouldn’t render him deportable, because he was a legal permanent resident more than five years,” Haley said.

Haley added that immigration officials knew about Adhahn’s 1990 conviction at the time.

The same laws say a second conviction could have triggered deportation. Adhahn was convicted of intimidation with a weapon in 1992. The case was filed in Tacoma Municipal Court. Immigration officials didn’t know about that conviction.

“We weren’t aware of the 1992 conviction at the time,” Haley said. “That happened in Municipal Court, so we were unaware.”

What you see is the suits at Immigration trying to cover their tails. As that source notes at the end, his weapons conviction afterward would have qualified him for a fast boat to Thailand, but they "didn't know about that."

The laws were sufficient. The bureaucrats failed. And a 12-year-old girl was raped and murdered. (The rape has not been established, but that is the driving purpose of this pervert.)
