Welcome to America, Now Please Rip Us Off

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department held a news conference today and announced:

Detectives from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, Thousand Oaks Police Department, Moorpark Police Department, and the Simi Valley Police Department formed a multi-jurisdictional task force in response to thefts that plagued businesses in Ventura County.

A large criminal organization engaging in a criminal enterprise throughout nine states and impacting crime victims in 67 cities has been dismantled. The group has been responsible for thefts committed by highly organized and disciplined teams of thieves in conjunction with a large scale stolen property distribution business (fencing operation), which has been in operation for the last several years in the Southwestern United States. Investigators infiltrated the organization, which has now culminated the four month investigation resulting in numerous arrests and a substantial seizure of property.

The news media information packet detailed that the burglars have plagued the Southwestern U.S. for 3 ½ years. The task force arrested 23 people and recovered 25,700 pieces of stolen property worth 3 ½ million dollars and $200,000 in cash. A total of 215 victims were identified. For the most part, the victims of the thefts were landscaping and construction companies. A number of those companies went out of business as a result of the thefts.

The places of birth of the arrestees were:

1. Mexico-9
2. Honduras-8
3. El Salvadore-4
4. Guatemala-1
5. Lebanon-1
6. U.S.-0

No mention was made of the citizenship or immigration status of the arrestees. Regardless of whether these individuals are naturalized citizens, legal or illegal migrants, they have come to this most generous country and abused our hospitality. These criminals are parasites on society, and they deserve to spend a long time in prison. Upon completion of their sentences, they need to be deported to their home countries. If any are naturalized citizens, their citizenship should be revoked.

Maybe we should run a pool to see if anyone can guess the number of illegal aliens in the group. Tomorrow the MSM should have this story in print. Let’s see if anyone is going to tell us the answer. I wonder if anyone asked that question of the Sheriff.
