A federal appeals court has ruled that the U.S. cannot deport an illegal immigrant who is a "habitual drunkard."

In a 2-to-1 decision by the western 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the judges decided the condition has been wrongly equated with poor moral character and instead is a medical disease.

The ruling rendered Mexican citizen Salomon Ledezma-Cosino, considered a "habitual drunkard," not eligible for removal from the U.S. Medical records indicate he drank an estimated one liter of tequila a day for a decade.

You and I damn well know who paid, the American Tax Payer did.

“Thank you for reminding me never to vote for trump.”..........

What the hell does this have to do with Trump? The drunken Mexican is an illegal, deport him.

My cousin & her husband were both killed in a wreck by a
drunk illegal. They were both productive people with little
children.

“Defining Deviancy Down” - credit Rush Limbaugh with the
term. Calling EVERYTHING a “disease” except things which
really are diseases.

Why are all the flaming libs screaming for "immigration reform"? All it is is more laws to be ignored. BUILD A WALL!

Sorry Twinkie, Rush did not coin that phrase.

Defining deviancy down” was the title of an essay by New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan in The American Spectator (vol. 62, no. 1, winter 1993, pp. 17-30). The subtitle was “How We’ve Become Accustomed to Alarming Levels of Crime and Destructive Behavior.”

Will they deport him after he kills someone while driving drunk?

[GingisK]

He could easily fall down a flight of steps on the way out. Wink, wink.
