#DHS agents investigating #SexCrimes against #children, for instance, have been redeployed to the #immigrant crackdown for weeks at a time, hampering their pursuit of #ChildPredators.

A #NationalSecurity probe into the #BlackMarket for Iranian #oil sold to finance #terrorism has been slowed down for months because of the shift to #immigration work, allowing tanker ships & money to disappear.

Part of #ParentalResponsibility is protecting your kids (and other kids, if in your care too) from #pedophiles / #ChildPredators - when you're well aware of the pedos in your own neighbourhood/community. That is part of your job as a parent. You don't make excuses for why the pedo(s) had rough life, etc. That's NOT your job! Your job is to protect your kids.

I get POed at irresponsible parents who show more compassion for child predators than actual child victims.
