ICE & tax dollars

Readers of this site will remember my multiple columns and postings on John Torres, ICE's own version of "Seinfeld"'s George Costanze (with apologies to Costanza). He's the guy who wasted $50,000 in your tax money--meant for rounding up, jailing, and deporting illegal aliens--to pay baseball's Tommy Lasorda to speak at a weeklong party Torres hosted. The party--whose purpose was solely to promote Torres (and hey, it worked!)--cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries of ICE personnel, travel costs, food, and hotel bills. You paid for that, too, even though you and your Congressmen and Senators allocated the money for illegal alien deportation, NOT John Torres' partying.
