I totally agree with you, Jason.

You'll be happy then to hear the Bush Administrations Immigration Enforcement agenda that's been announced this week, which it has been forced to enact since Congress refuses to create meaningful immigration reform. More fences, more border agents hired, more enforcement, more going after companies that hire large numbers of illegals, tightening of what can and cannot be acceptable to prove citizenship... it's a rather major shift in enforcement priorities on the part of the President that you love to pitch and moan about...

Oh, and how would anything that congress even considered passing actually have forced them to keep this human piece of filth in jail or out of the country?

Interesting that out of the hundreds of murders and thousands of rapes carried out today by the "human pieces of filth" that just happened to be born here, this one gets all the attention.

"There are lies, damnable lies, and statistics." - Mark Twain.

in Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens.

This doesn't say 95% of all homocide warrants.  95% of outstanding warrants. Maybe the cops are just having a much easier time of bringing citizen-perps to prosecutions because they can find them.

Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.

Of course they are, because we classify them as fugitives by their mere presence here illegally.

I won't deny that some immigrants come here with the intent of committing violent crimes.  My point was that these types of stories that specifically mention a person's legal residence do so for expressly political purposes.  That's not journalism. It's campaigning.

But Jason and Arbi started it.  They're poo-poo heads

Well it turns out that not only was the illegal in question out on bail for the felony rape when he allegedly committed the murder but the police are indicating he was also a member of the notorious MS 13 gang and had been terrorizing people in an apartment complex. How can we gloss over the fact that these crimes would not have happened had the law been enforced. Just last month in my own county an illegal immigrant with a criminal record shot and killed his legal resident girlfriend, then took some shots at the cops trying to hunt him down. They were forced to return fire and he is now dead. I cannot fathom how we can just turn our backs on people who are dieing because we have a broken system that allows violent people who are not in this country legally to just walk around. I am not saying that all illegal immigrants are doing this but each and every one of these deaths was 100%preventable. When it happens to your family or in your community maybe you will see it differently. This piece of filth is not entirely culpable. I blame the government who allowed him to be here, who let him out on bail, and who continue to allow this to happen. I have the same low opinion of judges that give child rapists rediculously low sentences or let them out of prison early only to see them victimize someone else.

Enforce the law and use common sense. This isn't rocket science. If we enforce the laws then this will not happen. If we use common sense and not let illegal immigrant, child rapists out on bond, then this stops.
