"It should not take a horrible incident like this to draw attention to this persistent problem plaguing the enforcement of our immigration laws," Myrick wrote.

=================================

Correct.

[Happy2BMe]

Meanwhile, state Highway Patrol troopers have arrested the owner of a truck that Gallegos was driving.

Lazero Presa-Martinez, 24, of Wilmington, was charged late Tuesday with allowing his vehicle to be used by an impaired and unlicensed driver, both misdemeanors.

====================================

State troopers. Very good. Rep. Sue Myrick has had enough.

So has America.

[Vigilanteman]

Gallegos remained in Brunswick County jail Wednesday charged with second-degree murder as well as DWI. Immigration officials said they put a detainer on him, meaning they will deport him to Mexico if he's convicted.

Unfreaking believable! Do they mean being here illegally and having three priors on DWI isn't enough to get him deported? What's next, one free dead American?

[Joe Boucher]

Why wasn't this illegal deported before this?
Why wasn't he in jail for his first two transgressions?
Great job there govt. types. What the hell is your job in the govt anyway? To look the other way at illegals?
Why do I hate govt.?
Fools just hanging around long enough to not be seen and collect a pension.

[Happy2BMe]

That is what Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C. is going to find out.

She has put her political career on the line here and the people are going to support her.

This one's not going to go away.

[Happy2BMe]

BTW: 1 deportion officer per 300,000 illegal aliens. Remember that.

"Screech! Racism!"

[sgtbono2002]

Didnt I just read the other day that Illegals are taking busses from New Jersey to go down to North Carolina and get drivers licenses? Ms. Myrick needs to go to work to clean her own house before attacking the Feds. Not that the Feds dont need attacking.

[Happy2BMe]

Enforcing federal law is racism? How so?

[Happy2BMe]

See #6. Enforcing the law has to start somewhere.

(And yes they are. But not for very much longer it would seem.)

Please FRmail Constitution Day OR TaxRelief OR Alia if you want to be added to or removed from this North Carolina ping list.

So if he is convicted he gets deported, where he can disappear and simply come back under another name? I hope we give him 20 years first and then deport him.

[rovenstinez]

Yes, someone sees the light. He probably isn't really Ramiro Gallegos, because he can come back here to Ole Mexico, and pay a few legal documents he can get in a bank, crisp and new, and in a few minutes, he can get another name, another birthday and have another wreck. SIMPLE AND EASY. I Know IVE BEEN THERE and seen that.

[Joe Boucher]

No, law enforcement officers throughout the nation.
Drivers licence employees, parking monitors, hell even school teachers are govt. employees that could help point out illegals.
For once, make it illegal to hire illegals and put the responsible parties in jail.

[Constitution Day]

Wow!
You've pinged everything before I even got to the computer.

(Great work, thanks!)

[From One - Many]

Representative Myrick is going to vote for CAFTA.
Help is needed to change her mind.

[Happy2BMe]

It already is a violation of federal law to hire an illegal alien, sir. The ones not upholding the law is our very own federal government.

REPORT: Slavery Alive and Well in the United States

In south Florida, federal prosecutions have indicated hundreds of farmworkers were victims of human trafficking, and a forced prostitution ring identified as many as 40 young women and girls brought from Mexico. The center also cited a case of "domestic servitude" in southwest Florida.

"For once, make it illegal to hire illegals and put the responsible parties in jail"

I believe it already is illegal, but the problem is the Government isn't doing a damn thing to enforce it.

N.C. illegal immigrant allowed to retrieve buried savings

[newcthem]

We are all sorry that they are understaffed. Perhaps if they would ask the average citizen to help find, round-up and deport these CRIMINALS ( not migrants, not undocumented, ....CRIMINALS), they might find that they have more help than they would know what to do with! Most of us are tired of this crap, the typical whine of the bureaucrat.......not enough money. It is not about money, or resources.......it is about WILL, and our gov. evidently doesn't have any.
