It is waaayyyy past time for the families of any and all people who have been injured or worse to file a Class Action Lawsuit against the United States govt to seek redress for the wanton disregard of the Constitution: Article IV Section 4 - “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
I’m not sure that the blame should belong to the feds in this case or in alot of these cases. This creep here was indicted on some pretty serious crimes and was free on bail. Newark should’ve made sure that he was locked up, tried, and served his time before he is handed over to the feds to deport. Alot of states and municipal gov. don’t hand over to the feds as a matter of policy.
I think there are 2 issues here that muddy the waters and make it hard to really solve the problem.
1. we should be more outraged that this creep was free on bail for a heinous crime and had a long rap sheet. He should of been in jail awaiting trial or in jail for previous crimes. The fact that he was illegal is secondary.
2. every time there’s an issue involving illegals, we throw are hands up and shout, ‘Bush’s fault!’ , when in a lot of instances the state and local government do not give the Feds a chance to enforce the laws. This issue needs to be addressed locally and nationally and we need to start looking at incremental solutions that may take awhile. And we must understand that the vast majority of illegals are here to work, suck up our social services, and make a better life for their families.
