An illegal alien, Jose Ramirez, 28, has been arrested and charged with the brutal beating of a 15-year-old girl who allegedly ignored his whistles at a construction site in Spotsylvania County.

Police say the 15 year old girl suffered a broken nose, bone fracture to the right side of her face and received approximately 30 stitches to her face and back of her head.

Police say the 15 year old girl was walking by on a road, when Ramirez, who was working on a construction project at a nearby townhouse, whistled at her.

Witnesses told police the next thing they saw, Ramirez appeared enraged and took off running after the girl. He allegedly began to beat her on her face and head.

Ramirez then fled into a nearby wooded area. Short while later, authorities found Ramirez a few blocks away. Ramirez, an illegal alien from El Salvador, allegedly resisted arrest but was finally subdued.

Ramirez is facing aggravated malicious wounding charges as well as abduction with intent to defile. Both charges carry a possible life sentence.

Shouldn't he just be deported as an undesirable? If he wanted to stay with family (if there are some with him in the U.S.) he should have behaved himself.

An illegal alien, Jose Ramirez, 28

Well, butter my muffin. They still call a spade a spade in Virginia.

Celebrate Diversity!

This guy has some self-esteem issues to say the least.

The girl needs to sue the construction company and owner of the residence to send a message that they know they are hiring criminal trespassers (ie. illegal aliens). Ol Rushbo and the GOP wont say a thing about this because we got to keep the Bushbots happy.

I notice no added charge for being in the country illegally.

[moehoward]

An excellent idea.

Shouldn't he just be deported as an undesirable?

No, I don't think we should be as nice as all that...

[HEY4QDEMS]

I too noticed that.

I think CNN replaced the term illegal alien with "Aspiring Citizen".

[misterrob]

Not in Northern VA.....

Flame away but I think she needs to sue GW Bush and Congress as well because they haven't done ANYTHING to protect our borders! (Not that I think she would get a monetary amount from them. It's the principle. GW and Congress have taken an oath to uphold our laws and protect its citizens. By not protecting our border they've thumbed their noses at the law.)

"Shouldn't he just be deported as an undesirable?"

NO! He's a vicious animal that needs to be punished severely but probably won't be. Send him to the pen.

Quantity or Quality of immigrants. That is the question. There is too much focus on the raw number of (legal or illegal) immigrants.

The focus should be on the quality of the immigrants.

Focus on criminals and terrorists
Prohibit ALL immigrants (legal or illegal) from welfare ...foodstamps, kidcare, whatever name, NO immigrant should come here for welfare, including legal immigrants.

[sasafras]

No flame from me, Bush and congress should be held accountable for all the murders, rapes and all crime being perpetrated by these illegal criminals.

[MBB1984]

Bush is part of the problem, not the solution. His protection of our borders is about the same as Clinton's, was--no protection whatsoever.

Prohibit ALL immigrants (legal or illegal) from welfare ...

They are prohibited from most benefits. It's the kidlets born in the USA that are the meal tickets. They be citizens.

[trubluolyguy]

Deported? why so he can change his name and be right back in this country next week? No, I like the idea of life in prison. If he'd of killed her? I'd volunteer to pump the poison myself.

[siunevada]

Both charges carry a possible life sentence.

Not to worry. We'll plea bargain that down to a misdemeanor harassment charge. Get you into an anger management class and a year's probation.

[D Rider]

From article:"Both charges carry a possible life sentence."

I say we keep him as a permanent guest. If we deport him he will just be back in the US in a month or so.

I have to agree. I voted for Bush twice, but I am so disgusted with the fact that he is totally unwilling to do anything about this. I live in the next county south of Spotsylvania and this is all people are talking about. I believe the Democrats have an issue they can defeat the Republicans with and illegal aliens is it. All the work we Republicans put into gaining a majority Bush will piss away because he is doing everything to save Iraq and nothing to save Americans. I am really anxious to hear what Allen has to say about this, because any candidate that will "honestly" try and do something about this cancer on America he or she has my vote.
