Everyone gets worked up over illegal aliens, but here is a story about 25 sex offenders being nabbed by ICE in Texas and 18 are legal immigrants.  Hat tip:  Blulitespecial

A five-day sweep by federal immigration officials and Houston-area law enforcement officers resulted in the arrests last week of 25 foreign-born convicted sex offenders, officials said Monday.

Of those arrested, four entered the country illegally while two had been students who remained in the U.S. after their visas had expired, officials said.

Another sex offender had not yet obtained residen- cy. The remaining 18 were legal residents, ICE officials said.

Just a few days ago we learned that the Obama Administration was rounding up immigrant health care scammers in Houston, now it’s sex-offender foreigners.   Maybe we should all write to Obama and thank him!   But, wait, hold off until we see if they actually get deported!

Legal residents convicted of a criminal offense may be deported from the United States, ICE officials said.

Those who were rounded up came from several countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, officials said.

The arrests were part of Operation Predator, led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
