Focus on Terrorists but not Illegals who Commit Crimes?
With the exception of a few misguided detours, Wisconsin AG Candidate JB Van Hollen has been like the pilot fish of Paul Bucher’s campaign. Van Hollen is only too happy to issue press release after press release saying “me too” when it comes to Bucher’s plan to make law enforcement the top priority of the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
Yet when it comes to cracking down on illegal immigrants who commit crimes in Wisconsin, Van Hollen is riding the waves with Attorney General, Peg Lautenschlager. They both believe the Attorney General has no business working with local law enforcement agents to ensure that criminals who are here illegally get deported.
Van Hollen told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
“This is a major problem, but Paul doesn't understand the magnitude," said Van Hollen, former U.S. attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin. "Promising to the taxpayers of Wisconsin that the (state) Department of Justice is going to take over a role that rightly belongs to the federal government is not credible.
Wait a second; is this the same JB Van Hollen who wants to turn the Wisconsin Department of Justice into Terror Watch Central?
Van Hollen has pledged to make fighting terrorism a top priority if elected; he proposes teams of law enforcement officials from all levels to train and share information.
In other words, Van Hollen says DOJ should train local law enforcement officials to detect terrorist activities and share information with federal authorities, but DOJ should not train local law enforcement to determine the legal status of people they encounter committing other crimes, and to report that status to federal authorities so they can be deported.
I wonder how Van Hollen feels about lesbians marrying terrorist bigamists, because Peg’s all for that.

And don't forget that the INS in Milwaukee says that Bucher's plan ignores the fact that what he is calling for is already being done. INS had contact with the Bucher 77. He's throwing money at a problem that isn't a federal priority, either.

With the GOP failing to do anything to secure our borders, this is what happens.
I won't be voting for any Republicans this time around.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said this week that his agency busted a smuggling ring organized by the terrorist group Hezbollah that had operatives cross the Mexican border to carry out possible terrorist attacks inside the U.S.
"This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States,” Mueller told a House Appropriations subcommittee during a Tuesday hearing on the FBI's budget.
In a stunning revelation, Mueller admitted that Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some of its operatives across the border."
