Operation Predator...

It seems that the Feds efforts to round-up and deport illegal alien sex-offenders is paying off -

Federal agents and Nassau police fanned out across the county Tuesday starting at 5 a.m., rousting the sex offenders out of their sleep, apprehending others on the streets and arresting some as they showed up for appointments with probation officers.
 
Officials said 25 were rounded up in Tuesday's sweep and taken to a federal detention facility. They also disclosed that agents had earlier arrested 16 immigrants in Nassau over the past few months.
 
About 85 percent of the convicted sex offenders victimized children, some as young as 9, said Salvatore Dalessandro, deputy special agent in charge of the New York office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"We are putting every alien criminal sex offender on notice," Dalessandro said. "We will find you, arrest you and deport you from the United States."

Good job. The feds have arrested 5,300 assholes since Operation Predator started in July 2003. Of course, the offenders are the victims -

The deportations are unfair, some relatives said.

Wilfredo Torres' family said the 23-year-old Freeport resident arrested Tuesday was not a sexual predator. Instead, he had a consensual relationship with a girl they believed was 16 but turned out to be younger, they said. Torres, from El Salvador, served a year in jail and has since worked long hours at a beverage store.

"He made a mistake," said his brother, Jose Torres. "He was with a minor, but he's never been a bad person."

Sure, he's not a bad person Mr. Torres. Your brother was arrested for statutory rape and in the country illegally, but he's not a bad guy and you're not an effing menso.

The Mexican Government has Big Cojones...

I can't believe the balls of the Mexican government -

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said Tuesday that Mexican consulates in Arizona will file criminal complaints against any illegal detentions of its citizens by volunteers of the so-called Minuteman Project. In a press statement, the department said it would also weigh further steps – apparently civil lawsuits – against people involved in what it described as "vigilanteism" against undocumented Mexican migrants.

Maybe the Minutemen should file criminal trespass charges against the illegals. Let's see what the courts would do. Probably nothing, unless they're on life support.

Quote of the Day...

From the Washington Times, James Gilchrist, leader of the Minuteman Project on the word that the MS-13 gang will be out to get 'em -

"We're not worried because half of our recruits are retired trained combat soldiers," Mr. Gilchrist said. "And those guys are just a bunch of punks."

I'd like to see the Minutemen take out a few.

Remove the Feeding Tube Nine...

There's been alotta so-called analysis from commentators regarding Terri Schiavo's fate; most of it has been nonsense, but Michael Barone puts the case in the context of American morality that no longer exists in the rest of the world -

I think that the response of elected officials reflects one of the great           strengths in our country: a confident belief in moral principles that stands in vivid contrast with what we see in much of Europe and in the supposedly sophisticated  precincts of this country.

I agree, but I still think that, after this is over, there will be winners and losers -
The Democratic Party - The left's vampiric cravings for innocent human life and disdain for anything remotely religious will just alienate more voters.
The Republican Party - I don't think they have much to worry about. A religious libertarian like myself can't be too upset over trying to save Terri's life, even if I have reservations about Congress overstepping the bounds of Federalism.
The judiciary is the biggest loser in this; to not even re-insert her feeding tube while the case was being reviewed pissed off a lot of people. Like many who don't have a law degree and can't comment on the law, this seemed cruel-and-unusual punishment for an innocent woman. The fallout from this decision will be heard in the 2006 elections and many Democratic senators in blue states will feel the heat on this. I've a feeling that President Bush's next Supreme Court nominee will be getting an easier hearing after this.
 

A Great New Blog...

Michelle Malkin and friends have a new blog on immigration. Check it out, her tenacity on the issues of national sovereignty and security are greatly appreciated.

"Target Practice"...

From Drudge a link to teenage killer Jeff Weise's little ode to nihilism. I'm usually OK with a kid's artistic endeavors, but if my kid was doing shit like this, we'd have a little sitdown.

Dive!Dive!Dive!...

On January 8th, the USS San Francisco crashed into an undersea mountain. The Navy dinged six sailors for dereliction of duty. However, it looks like the Navy may be covering their ass -

Assigning the blame for the collision is becoming an interesting exercise in how bureaucracies operate. Apparently a satellite ocean mapping project had spotted the sea mount, which the San Francisco hit, several years ago. But the navy never updated its charts. Whoever failed to get the charts updated would appear to be at fault. It’s long been known that nuclear subs, operating at their normal depths, were in danger because so much of the open oceans had not been properly mapped. This was an accepted risk. But it appears the navy may hang the blame on the San Francisco’s officers. They would be blamed for not taking more frequent depth soundings, and not proceeding more slowly, in an area that had not been definitively mapped. It’s easier to pin it on the ships officers, as they are of much lower rank than the navy official with responsibility to get the maps updated.

Check out these amazing pics of the damage to the sub. I'm surprised that only one sailor was killed in the collision. We make stuff that lasts.

A Mother's Love...

An Indian mother committed sicide so she could give her corneas to her blind sons, but it may have been in vain -

An Indian woman committed suicide so her two blind sons could receive her eyes and see, a newspaper reported on Monday.

But doctors say the chances of success are bleak, The Indian Express reported.

Thirty-seven-year-old Tamizhselvi's sons, Kumaran, 17, and Kumar, 15, have been blind since birth.

Doctors in the southern city of Chennai say Kumar's condition cannot be helped with a cornea transplant and also suspect his elder brother does not have a cornea defect.

Even if successful, the kids would be still short an eye, but as they say in India, "In the land of the blind, even the one-eyed man can run a call-center".

I Wonder if this Post Will Get me Busted?...

I was ready to open my new business when I read this - 

Pasadena police and planners want to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries, or "cannabis clubs,' from locating within the city, saying such establishments breed crime and degrade neighborhoods.

I guess my Brownie Hut concept is out of the question? Bastards.

My Two Cents...

I'm somewhat ambivalent on the Terri Schiavo case. The two conservative pillars of the right to life and  federalism seem to be at cross purposes here and may be irreconcilable in this instance. My heart goes out to her parents, but her sack of shit husband needs a smack down. Now, if we can just get a court to remove Michael Jackson's feeding tube, of course, that would take only an act of sexual Congress...
