DHS announced this week that, in conjunction with state and local law enforcement partners, it had arrested more than 150 aliens who committed sex offenses in Florida. This operation raises a lot of questions, including why ICE wasn’t looking for these guys under the last administration and why so many protestors are standing in the agency’s way today.
Recidivism Rates for Sex Offenders and Violent Offenders
As the DHS press release explains, Operation Dirtbag “targeted child predators, rapists, and violent criminal illegal aliens with convictions including sexual assault of minors, rape, lewd and lascivious conduct, child exploitation, battery, and attempted homicide”.
The Christian faith and Western values that have been hammered into me makes me reluctant to cast aspersions on others; “there but for the grace of God go I” and “never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes”, etc.
That said, I hope we can all agree that child sex offenders, rapists, and killers have transgressed our collective moral code and, consequently, that those among us who have committed such crimes are due special attention from our law enforcement officers — if for no reason than to keep the rest of us safe from such predators.
Official statistics indicate that this particular brand of criminal has a high recidivism rate.
