(CNSNews.com) – In emotional testimony before a House joint panel this week, a Virginia man recalled the death of his teenage daughter in 2007 – a death caused by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk and who had been arrested twice before the crime, but was not deported.
“Two years ago this week, my 16-year-old daughter, Tessa, and her best friend Allison were killed as they were sitting at in intersection waiting for a red light to change,” Ray Tranchant said, as friends placed a photograph of Tessa Tranchant on an easel behind him.
Since his daughter’s death, Tranchant, a professor from VIrginia Beach, has become an advocate for the enforcement of immigration law.
On Thursday, as Tranchant applauded local law enforcement in Virginia for its increased efforts to work with federal immigration authorities since his daughter’s death, he referred to individuals listed on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s database of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds as “banditos.”
That comment drew a rebuff from Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
“Mr. Tranchant, can I share with you as the father of two daughters, I thank you for bringing your testimony here, but I suggest to you that if we refer to people as banditos, as you referred to them in your testimony, it does not help to solve the problem,” Gutierrez said.

Congressmen attacking Americans: doing a job that illegals WILL do, but want to do anyway.
“Sorry congressmen — I meant to say wetback.”
Gutierrez is a Moron.
Well it worked for Frito-Lay.
Mr. Tranchant should have approached Gutierrez and ...
I guess the father shouldn’t have held back by calling them “banditos,” but used the various colorful expletives that he self-deleted instead.
It's their own fault for not fighting to stop illegals from ruining their reputations as well.
You are far kinder than I could have been. You must have been showing great restraint, because calling that jerk a moron is an understatement to the nth degree.
Just deport the sombritches as soon as they apply for a job here and the problem is solved. No one has use any names out of frustration and loss. My prayers to the families of the girls. How horrible they must feel right now.
He would even have his legitimate parental heritage brought into question and insinuations that he is the issuance of inter-species breeding by his father and Canis Familiaris (dog).
Yes...”banditos.” Immigrants of our own culture from places like Ireland, Canada and New Zealand can speak English and don’t have problems with our social customs. So they aren’t as expensive to assimilate as immigrants from countries of other cultures.
It’s as simple as that.
1. The name of the congressman...Luis Gutierrez
2. The condition of the daughters of the congressman....alive
3. The evil done by an illegal alien to the congressman...nothing...yet
Many times it has to happen to the individual for conversion...
Hopefully it wont have to come to that with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
This is the Dad of one of the two young girls killed in VA Beach...
That guy was waaaaaaaaaay out of line...
Goot is a sack of horse flop and Ramirez is a lying sack of horse flop. If Ramirez was truly being targeted and being discriminated against because of his ethnicity—— if law enforcement and immigration officials were that zealous-—— would not reason serve that we would have several million less illegals here today?
The population of the planet is climbing steadily towards 8-billion and they all can’t live here. In certain situations, I do empathize, but illegal, means not legal. Do things the right way and do not thumb your noses at our sovereignty. In a nutshell, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
Gutierrez as a mere socialist democrat your automatically on my bandito list you sorry sad sack POS polidiot !
Okay maybe they aren’t banditos.
They are border burglars. Common criminals upon entering our country illegally.
I need to dig out Luis Guitierez’s address so I can send him a little note.
It’ll start out approximately like this:
“Dear Bandito Guitierrez:
F(expletive deleted) you and the burro you rode in on!
Sincerely,
Redbob”
Some (most?) DemocRAT politicians are simply truly disgusting. What a cucaracha!
"I meant to say "invading, scumbag murderer from mexico""
BTW, if you want to contact this asshole via e-mail, here’s a zipcode in his district, Google Maps can give you a street address...
60647 5429
OK so let’s Anglicize his name too. Gutters.
Wrongo. It sure DOES help to solve the problem. Gutierrez, also a bandidto, does not want the problem solved.Whish is why we have a 2nd amendment.Gutierrez forgets. He works for us.
Oh my!
Dear Congressman G,
As the blessed father of four beautiful daughters and one devastatingly handsome Marine son, I suggest you BLOW ME!
Sincerely,
Mr. Jazzy
Gutierrez says: “it does not help to solve the problem.”
No Gutierrez, “IT does NOT help to solve the ‘problem’.” But what do YOU propose to do about the PROBLEM. Nothing! That’s what you and you colleagues propose to do about it.
Therefore sir, “bandito” is a perfectly appropriate term for someone who has no business being in OUR country, has no business driving on OUR streets, who has been caught repeatedly and allowed to run free on OUR streets, and are killing OUR children on OUR streets.
What part of ILLEGAL do you not understand. By the way, “bandito” is rather gracious for a parent who has just lost his child directly due to our representatives unwilling to do their jobs. I would have called him much worse.
Mr. Gutters, we shall be polite and call him a fugitive from justice. Now are you happy, Mr. Gutters?
Gutierrez is not only a moron, but an Illinois one, like our president, his hitman Rahm Emanuel, Obie’s leftist advisor David Axelrod, Obie’s advisor Valerie Jarrett, like Rep. Bobby Rush (the former Black Panther marxist leader), like Dick “The Nazis” Durbin - I think you get the idea.
Illinois is a cesspool of marxists, crooks, psychopaths, and they are all Democrats.
Can I say pendejo here? OK, Gutierrez. That’s what you are.
Exactly.
“Mr. Tranchant, can I share with you as the father of two daughters, I thank you for bringing your testimony here, but I suggest to you that if we refer to people as banditos, as you referred to them in your testimony, it does not help to solve the problem,” Gutierrez said.
Hey Gutierrez, ever hear of the Banditos (or Bandidos) Motorcycle Club??
From me reading the statement, it's obvious to me that the guy was referring to a couple of Bandidos that were illegals...
Liberal congressweenies like this Gutierrez are such pitiful excuses for...
[“What I have seen, unfortunately, is the will to target and to victimize and to scapegoat a community of people,” Gutierrez said.]
With this statement, (Gutierrez, D-Illinois) targeted the and victimized legally resident Hispanics. Either Gutierrez is just another ill intentioned radical with an ulterior motive, or he’s a complete idiot.
Tranchant, whose daughters were run down by a drunken ILLEGAL alien who had been previously arrested twice (but not deported), was simply making the point that immigration laws must be enforced.
Does this jerkwad Congressman have a green card?
Gutierrez is a corrupt little punk. A “made” member of the Daley/Obama/Blagoevich Cook County Democrat machine, he is a Puerto Rican who lobbied Clinton for the freedom of the Puerto Rican FALN terrorists who had maimed so many real Americans. The pint sized Luis represents a crime ridden Chicago district that was once almost exclusively Puerto Rican but is now is also inhabited by Mexicans, some legal, most not. He has become a leading spokesman for amnesty. For Luis, calling a foreign criminal a name is a far worse offense than killing an innocent American girl. Particularly if the girl is white. A press report some weeks ago said that the US Attorney was investigating Luis for participation in a corrupt insider real estate deal. Haven’t heard any more about it.
The coward has at the least apparently been overwhelmed by hostile FAXES. But I'll not rest till mine gets through.
Regards . . . Penny
Yo, Homes, er ah Congreeeesman ... Tu Madre!
I would have told the congressman to go screw himself.
