Tessa Tranchant was 16 years old when she was struck and killed by a drunk illegal alien who had been arrested twice already but never deported. Denver police officer Don Young was executed by an illegal alien who had been arrested and released on three prior occasions. In Los Angeles, a promising student athlete named Jamil Shaw was killed by an illegal alien who had been arrested previously and then released instead of being deported. And the list goes on an on.
Unfortunately, neither the US Government nor the states track illegal alien crime against Americans. The only way to get a flavor for how bad the situation has become is by doing research on your own. If you attempt this, you may find that you have to dig however. That’s because the mainstream press often leaves out information regarding the immigration status of criminals in the stories they write.
Sadly, every one of the people mentioned above would still be alive if the government would enforce immigration laws. Courts routinely fail to check the immigration status of people who come before them. And sanctuary cities don’t ask the immigration status of even those they arrest. Los Angeles is a classic example of this. LA police have been ordered not to ask for immigration status from anyone.
But sanctuary cities have sprung up all over the country and have the support of the mayors of some of America’s largest cities. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsome, Mayor Gordon of Phoenix, Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mayor John Hickenlooper of Denver. All of these men have refused to enforce US law and are traitors to their oaths of office and their constituents. Because of this, they are also accomplices in the carnage mentioned above.
But illegal aliens seem to have the upper hand, getting support even from members of Congress. When Ray Tranchant, Tessa Tranchant’s father, testified before congress less than a month ago, he was understandably upset. Behind his stood an easel with a picture of his daughter perched upon it. Tranchant referred to people listed in ICE’s database of illegal aliens with criminal records as “Banditos”. For that, he received strong rebuke from Rep. Louis Gutierrez (D-IL); an activist for illegal alien rights.
Gutierrez is trying to have Congress repeal or limit 287 enforcement. 287 is a section of the immigration law that trains local police departments in immigration enforcement and then has them turn over violators of immigration law to ICE agents for deportation. Gutierrez told Tranchant that his view “does not help to solve the problem.”
Later in the hearings, when some members of Gutierrez’ committee appeared to be siding with American citizens and our rights, Gutierrez told members that they were “missing the point”. He went on to say, “What I have seen, unfortunately, is the will to target and to victimize and to scapegoat a community of people.” I have seen that readily here. It makes for great political points but it doesn’t solve the problem and would not have saved your daughter’s life."
Excuse me? How can anyone make the claim that an illegal alien would have had the opportunity to kill Tranchant’s daughter if he had been deported immediately after his first arrest? But Gutierrez is obviously more interested in offering amnesty to a large group of people that he hopes will eventually become citizens and Democrats than he is in protecting the interests of tax paying Americans.
At the hearing Gutierrez also said, “This Congress and the government of the United States has not shown the political will nor committed the requisite resources to enforce the immigration law.” Notably, he left out “the American People”. Perhaps that’s because poll after poll shows that We The People want our immigration laws enforced. So maybe its time for us to fire all of the buffoons in Congress and the Government of the United States who are show such distain for the will of the people. We’ll have the chance to start this process in less than two years when the 2010 elections roll around.
