True enough! The front page article of today's Orange County Register (Calif.) titled "A culture of deadly silence," is about abused illegal immigrant women. The article focuses on an illegal murdered in Santa Ana, CA, by her "husband," one Miguel Angel Martinez, also an illegal immigrant. The murder took place in December 2003. Martinez, 30, and his brother, Jaime (who was living with the couple), 41, left the house after the murder and are believed to be back in Mexico.
Your post caught my eye because I had just finished reading about this particular "Miguel Angel."
Thanks, the Register is in my driveway right now! Time to go get it
