HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) - A Hannibal police officer was finishing up mundane paperwork on a quiet Saturday morning when Manuel Cazares walked into the station, blood splattered on his hands and shoes. Cazares put his hands out, crossed them, and told the officer to arrest him. "I killed two people," he allegedly said. Details surrounding the allegations are far too common: an abusive relationship, a jilted lover, a sudden attack. But some in this Mississippi River community of 17,000 best known as Mark Twain's hometown aren't just outraged by the violence. They also question why Cazares was in Hannibal at all. Cazares admitted after his arrest that he is an illegal immigrant from Mexico. The 32-year-old had several run-ins with law enforcement before the homicides, but officials had never questioned his legal status. Now he is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Feb. 28 deaths of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Amanda Thomas, and 25-year-old Carl Patrick Epley.

Immigration Ping!
“Meanwhile in Arkansas, we have 2 bills in our legislator. One bill would allow people like Cazares to cry racial profiling if pulled over by the cops. Another bill would give in-state tuition to people like Cazares.”
Well, strike Arkansas off my list of places to retire to.
Arkansas Ping!
We’re fighting hard in our legislator to stop illegal immigration, and we have some legislation to at least slow illegal immigration down. We will do a ballot initiative next year similar to Prop 200 in Arizona.
hope NANCY PELOSI gets this story emailed to her a thousand times over.
It MUST stop!
My wife and I recently watched “Waitress,” a clever and sweet little film written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. Shelly was A VERY talented lady who also played a supporting role.
She was senselessly MURDERED in her NY apartment on November 1, 2006. Her body was found hanging by a sheet from a shower rod – by her husband. She was 40 and left behind a 3 year-old daughter who will never know her real mother.
A 19 YEAR OLD ECUADORIAN — AN ILLEGAL WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE (THANK YOU CLINTON AND BUSH) — CONFESSED TO HER MURDER.
They are killing 25 of us every day.
IT WILL STOP WHEN THE MORONS IN WASHINGTON GET AS SERIOUS ABOUT THE ILLEGAL INVASION AS THEY ARE ABOUT HARASSING NATIVE BORN CITIZENS AT THE AIRPORTS.
(AND, YES, I INTENDED TO SHOUT BECAUSE I’M MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS CRAP!)
How about you???
Do you suppose this madness might have ended years ago if one of Bush’s daughters or McCain’s kids had been a victim of one of the millions of illegals they’ve allowed in here to kill the rest of us? Obama has promised to turn the borders into one-way turnstiles marked “ENTER” while HIS girls will be safe at Sidwell Friends.
Of course, any illegal attempting to do so would most likely be taken out by a well armed SS detail.
I’ve been a regular at local congressional town hall meetings for a few dozen years and noted that starting around 10 years ago, the majority of those there were angry that nothing was being done about the illegal invasion.
Why are we still waiting for the clowns in Malfunction Junction – who can produce convoluted legislative proposals to line their pockets or deliver pork back home and ram it through in the dark of night – to secure our national borders?
Perhaps YOU should get on over to those congressional town hall meetings and raise some serious hell – before YOU die at the hands of someone who ought not even BE HERE!
We have enough indigenous criminals. WE SURE AS HELL DON’T NEED TO IMPORT MORE.
Illegals, committing the murders Americans don’t want to do.
This should be laid at the feet of the PC morons in the media and Democratic party.
Another bill would give in-state tuition to people like Cazares. More here...
Huckabee for all for this.
yeah, they "seek" to work closely, but they don't,..it would be interesting to find a specific number of US citizens killed by illegals in the last 5 years...anyone have a estimate?
see#11
The 25 a day can only be an estimate as I believe PC and the “anti-profiling” idiocy” prevents accurate data collection in these cases.
But the anecdotal evidence is very strong. I PERSONALLY hear these stories every week — and, despite being the ethnocentric pig that I am, I’m NOT looking for them.
I was on jury duty the week of 12/11/06 and one of my fellow jurors told me that her nephew was killed a year earlier by two illegals DRIVING their truck with FAULTY BRAKES to the BRAKE SHOP to be repaired when – surprise, surprise — the BRAKES FAILED AND THEY KILLED HER NEPHEW. I guess these MORONS thought they were back in Mexico where – in addition to driving DRUNK — they and their idiot friends do crap like that all the time. Can you say “Tijuana Taxi?” Can you say “TOW TRUCK?”
The driver got 4 years in prison and will be deported when he gets out.
Gotta wonder how long it will take him to sneak back in and kill someone else?
Estimates indicate they are killing around 25 American citizens each day, either with vehicles or via other criminal activity.
I can’t wait until the interstates start filling up with Mexican truckers on tight deadlines – and I do mean DEADlines – hurtling at carloads of unsuspecting native-born American citizens – all 387 of us.
Do you suppose this crap might stop if one of Bush’s or Obama’s daughters became a victim?
Of course, unlike the rest of us, they are driven to their endless round of parties by an armed SS detail, which eliminates the risk that they will be tempted to drive drunk themselves or be mugged or raped.

People in MO with their “New Nixon” are in for some tough sailing, I suspect.
The perfect argument, made in closing.
But of course, demagogues like Geraldo Rivera claim that we’re being unfair because “percentage-wise” they commit no more crimes relative to their numbers than does the rest of the population, white, brown, red, what-have-you.
In other words, Geraldo, (and he’s not the only one) has as a BASIC PREMISE the idea that America should welcome, promote and even tolerate
equal opportunity criminality. That is exactly what it comes down to. He wants us to make room for the criminals, and not just those who are criminals for being here illegally——he means ALL the criminals, the bankrobbers, rapists, murderers, the whole lot.
At a news conference, police Capt. James Hark told reporters that tracking illegal immigrants is a federal responsibility. He said the department is sympathetic to the victims' families, "but, in retrospect, there's nothing in the system that would have prevented this from happening." [ BS CYA statement--ed]Capt. James Hark should be fired or resign so someone with a knowledge of the job can be put in that position.ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said the agency seeks to work closely with local police to uncover illegal immigrants. [So the police Captain wasn't doing his job--ed]
"When local law enforcement suspect that they have arrested an illegal alien on criminal charges, we encourage them to forward those suspicions to ICE, where we will make the appropriate determination whether that person is in the country legally or illegally, and whether he is deportable," Rusnok said.
Federal authorities of course have been preventing States from identifying illegals because it is there job to take care of the problem.
The 10th amendment says otherwise.
And yet we've got people like this by the millions living here illegally. So sad.
When he did his slam of Michelle Malkin it showed what a cowardly racist illegal alien appeaser punk he is.
And then he went on O’Reilly’s show and did a non apology, O’Reilly accepted it and it was settled.
Not as a man would have settled it.
Geraldo is not a man though, he treats women as lesser beings and picks on them because he thinks they can't beat him up.
O'Reilly's attitude towards women isn't any better, he just hides it a little more stealthily.
Of course Joe has incarcerated so many illegal aliens that our Representatives want to make sure Joe dots the I's and crosses the T's when jailing illegals for breaking our imigration laws
Federal law enforcement doesn't seem to be doing much in that direction.
Fire AG Holder and appoint Joe Arpaio then don't get in the south bound lanes of the interstates for a couple of weeks, they will be crowded.
I live near Hannibal, and there are a few Mexican restaurants there (like the one this guy worked at) and eveyone pretty much knows that most of the people working there have questionable status.
