That's really the way it should be. A coordinated, and uniform, State-wide effort to combat illegal immigration would be far more efficient, and more likely to get the proper cooperation from the Federal government...and one locality would not simply be passing on the problem to its neighbor. They would also be able to address [reform] issues which our local officials have difficulty addressing such as voter fraud, welfare/entitlement abuse, health care issues (Federal law only demands they receive emergency care), and higher education (to which nobody is inherently entitled by their mere presence). I'd be interested in hearing his perspective, in its entirety, on the 287(g) program...not just that he opposes it for localities. There could actually be some logic to that, under the right circumstances.

Essentially anything that they dont agree with they declare racist and/or extremist. The ADL in the early years was most certainly a very prominent and respectable organization in my eyes not it is not so.

A rapist is the lowest form of human debris, whether an illegal alien or home-grown variety. That he was here illegally only makes the crime itself slightly worse. Note, the child identified him as someone who had previously rented a room from her parents. Where her parents running a boarding house for illegals? While I would like to believe that the parents would never intend to expose their child to danger, they did so, in this case. They opened their home to an illegal alien, for the sole purpose of economic gain, and in defiance of the law. Much the same can be said of those parents who expose their children to their own illegal activities. Drug dealers have children. Drug users have children. Many times these children become collateral damage in drug deals gone bad, or in worse cases, are offerred by drug addicted parents to perverts, just to get their next fix. If the justice system worked perfectly, there wouldn't be any crime. The fact is, illegal aliens committing crimes, while tragic, is just another sign of how sick humanity can be at times. I'll pray for this little girl. I'll also pray that her parents carry the guilt they earned for the rest of their lives as well. As for the scum who committed this crime...well, I'll just pray that he gets the punishment he deserved, someday. I think Mr. Duecaster summed up my thinking nicely.

Are they predisposed to them? I'm not positive but there are some definite loose screws out there that need to be jailed (or executed). But the bottom line is that if we had a sound immigration system that held people accountable and secure borders these situations would not have happened. I would argue that less of these incidents the better. Sure legal citizens commit crimes, but I would hope that anyone would agree that less is better in these circumstances. Anyone would argue otherwise just is not sane. as above commentators have mentioned, although I would like to see this scum be executed it’s highly probable that sentence given was with the notion of keeping a young, already traumatized child off the stand.

Rape of women carried the death penalty up until 1964. The liberals 'supremies' court struck the punishment down, as cruel and unjust. Four years later the incidence of rape in this country was up by 450%, according to the FBI crime stats. We need change, and it isn't more lenient punishment. We have been led down this path by individuals who have no business or purpose in the legal system. The legal system ought to be administered by serious, quiet and determined individuals bent on protecting society, from not only criminals, but the very ones that feel the criminals pain. I'll feel their pain, where is the rope, the gun, the needle to stop this black hearted criminal from breathing. Have you folks really read some of the convoluted replies. These are the people I'm talking about. These word smiths, 'put the child on the stand,' we don't need to put the child on the stand when we have conclusive DNA proof. Put the DNA experts, his/her record and education and accomplisments on the stand. Then put the peers of these experts on the stand and let them testify re their good qualifications. Put the child's advocate on the stand and let that person relate to the jury what the bastard did. Then, as a last resort, God forbid, put the police detictives on the stand to explain their detailed investigation. One nevers knows, the Coppers might well have the answer to convict. My grandfather taught me a lesson. he said, " when you leave this property and walk down the public roads, you are legally ok, if you leave public property, you are trespassing. You are in violation of the law. He also told me, when I go into a store, I am there on terms that require good behavior while on that mans property. If I resort to bad behavior, I am in violation of that contract, and I will be charged with criminal trespass, if I don't remove myself on the order of the owner. I have always remembered that admonition, and it has kept me outa jail. As in war, there are friendly fire casualties, it's unaviodable. Not because we are not careful, but because in the heat of battle, decisions are made very quickly with less then accurate information. If the jury is 99% sure that the man charged with the crime is guilty, but there is that tiny possibility that something isn't right, err on the side of caution and find for a lessor degree. This will keep him/her from swinging from the end of a rope. But often we know that in instances where a man is on trial for a murder, rape, a crime against a child, robbery of the local 'stop and rob' most times we are dealing with a career criminal and he should be put away on general principlies for the protection of society. Our ability to prosecute criminals is on trial every day. Prosecutors are held to a very high standard, often to the detriment of society. The list, of criminals let off, and then went out and murdered, raped, robbed is so long that it would shock you. If all crimes happened to liberals for just a month, the justice system would be turned upside down, and the criminals would be cringing in their cells, listening for the foot fall of a tender hearted liberal dragging a rope.

My grandfather taught me a lesson. he said, ” when you leave this property and walk down the public roads, you are legally ok, if you leave public property, you are trespassing. You are in violation of the law. He also told me, when I go into a store, I am there on terms that require good behavior while on that mans property. If I resort to bad behavior, I am in violation of that contract, and I will be charged with criminal trespass, if I don’t remove myself on the order of the owner. I have always remembered that admonition, and it has kept me outa jail.
As in war, there are friendly fire casualties, it’s unaviodable. Not because we are not careful, but because in the heat of battle, decisions are made very quickly with less then accurate information. If the jury is 99% sure that the man charged with the crime is guilty, but there is that tiny possibility that something isn’t right, err on the side of caution and find for a lessor degree. This will keep him/her from swinging from the end of a rope.
But often we know that in instances where a man is on trial for a murder, rape, a crime against a child, robbery of the local ’stop and rob’ most times we are dealing with a career criminal and he should be put away on general principlies for the protection of society.
Our ability to prosecute criminals is on trial every day. Prosecutors are held to a very high standard, often to the detriment of society. The list, of criminals let off, and then went out and murdered, raped, robbed is so long that it would shock you. If all crimes happened to liberals for just a month, the justice system would be turned upside down, and the criminals would be cringing in their cells, listening for the foot fall of a tender hearted liberal dragging a rope.
