Way To Go, Obama's Border Patrol

From the Las Vegas Sun: A high-risk sex offender being sought in Canada was allowed back into United States after authorities determined that he was a U.S. citizen and not the subject of an extraditable arrest warrant, a U.S. law enforcement official said Friday.
The federal official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to address an ongoing law enforcement matter, said U.S. authorities were aware of a warning from Canada that Michael Sean Stanley might try to cross the border. But officials allowed Stanley through the border in Blaine, Wash., after reviewing his information in a biometric records check and finding they had no legal authority to extradite him.
Patrycia Thenu, a spokeswoman for the Edmonton Police Service in Canada, said she couldn't comment on what should or should not have happened at the border. She said authorities are now looking into the extradition process and working with other agencies in Canadian government on that effort.
"The detectives would like to see Mr. Stanley arrested and held accountable," Thenu said.
Jack Williams, the acting chief deputy of the U.S. Marshals Service in western Washington, said there is nothing law enforcement here can do about Stanley's case unless there is a provisional arrest warrant for authorities to act on.
Stanley has a long history of sexual offenses against women and children and has been missing since Oct. 1, when he cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet around the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary, according to authorities. Last week, schools in several west-central Saskatchewan communities locked their doors and kept children inside after police got multiple, unconfirmed sightings of the Edmonton man.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/oct/11/us-sex-offender-canada/
Seems like the Border Patrol and the U.S. Marshalls were trying to find reasons to admit this guy into the United States.
If he had a warrant, he should not have been let into the United States and he should have been handed over to the Canadian cops or at least put a hold on him until Canada could present papers that would have him arrested.
Look for Canada not to be so eager to send people back here when they are wanted for crimes.
