He needs a speedy, fair trial, followed by "a first class hangin'".
We can deport his dead carcass.
Yes, this is Bush's fault. How many Americans have to die?
Good eye. Yes. Watch for it in any news article, La Raza screed, or anti-Minuteman story.
They aren't illegal, they just...aren't legal...um, yet, you see.

I emailed the author, Fimrite, that he was whitewashing that the guy was an illegal and this is his reply:
"How do you know? I work with known facts. The authorities weren’t releasing that information when I wrote the article."

Per LULSAC, LaRaza, MECHA, et al: "Nobody is an illegal person"...unless it is an unwanted fetus; then it gets the death penalty, without appeal.
Money and Power...
THEY have a right to an American job (if they want one)...And who could expect a foreign traveler, a tourist, to go without sex when he feels the need...
Obviously no one in our gov't...
If this unfortunate immigrant doesn't slow down, he could eventually get into serious trouble...
"How do you know?
Tell him we know how to connect the dots no matter how some reporter chooses to describe a foreign national.
San Rafael Rape Suspect Delays Entering Pleas
Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna, a recent arrival from Mexico, is in the Marin County jail under both,
Other than that, I'm sure he's a fine upstanding citizen.
Don't you wonder if Bush would still be taking up for this "immigrant" if the girl had been one of his? Would he still be telling us that we should welcome them with open arms. Doing the jobs that we Americans won't do.
Thanks...I did and a little more of my own thoughts!
I would periodically check the status on this scumbag and I found this:
| Man guilty of rape on campus |

| A 26-year-old man charged with raping a San Rafael High School student who was walking to school was convicted on all counts Thursday. Jorge Ek-Luna was found guilty by a unanimous jury that deliberated one full court day, said prosecutor Leon Kousharian. Ek-Luna faces 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 22 by Judge Terrence Boren. Deputy Public Defender Pedro Oliveras, an attorney for Ek-Luna, said he was disappointed in the verdict because the evidence did not support the rape and kidnapping charges. Ek-Luna did not dispute having sex with the girl, but claimed she voluntarily joined him behind a building, Oliveras said. "We believe the more appropriate charge should've been a sex act with a minor," he said. "He's facing a life sentence now." The incident occurred the morning of Feb. 13, when the girl was a 15-year-old freshman at the high school. The girl, now 16, said she passed Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets while walking to school, and he attacked her as she approached campus. The attacker grabbed her from behind in the school parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat, took away her cell phone and raped her in nearby bushes, according to police. After the assault, he used the broken bottle to force her off campus, intending to take her to a motel. But a passing driver called 911 after seeing the girl being dragged by the hair in the Canal neighborhood, and Ek-Luna was arrested a short time later. Ek-Luna, a native Salvadoran who has been in the country less than two years, was charged with rape, kidnapping, robbery, dissuading a witness by force, assault with a deadly weapon, lewd and lascivious acts with a 14- or 15-year old child, removing a wireless communication device and giving false identification to police. The girl took the stand against Ek-Luna during the trial. "He told me if I was not quiet, he was going to kill me," she said.

Rapist gets 29 years to life for attack on San Rafael High freshman |

| Jorge Ek-Luna was sentenced on Thursday to 29 years to life in prison for raping a San Rafael High School student while she was walking to school last year. Judge Terrence Boren added four years to the normal 25 years to life sentence for the crime because of an "enhancement" that was included because of a broken bottle the 27-year-old Salvadoran used to threaten the 15-year-old freshman on Feb. 13, 2006. He will be eligible for parole in 21 years, according to authorities. Wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit, Ek-Luna was led into the courtroom handcuffed. He was seated next to his attorney, Deputy Public Defender Pedro Oliveros, and an interpreter, who through a headset translated the proceedings. He followed the hearing closely with an impassive expression even when the sentence was announced. Describing him as a "danger to society," Boren said that what Ek-Luna had done was every "parent's nightmare." Neither the victim nor members of the victim's family were in court Thursday. Oliveros said he heard they had moved away. Boren dismissed defense contentions that Ek-Luna was drunk and did not know what he was doing. He had a previous conviction for driving under the influence. "I agree with (the prosecution) that his behavior shows an incredible presence of mind though he may have been emboldened as some people are" by alcohol, Judge Boren said. When confronted by the police just after the attack "he was able to secrete the bottle in a way that it was not immediately discernible," he said. "And he had the presence of mind to warn the victim not to say anything as the police approached. And he had the presence of mind to keep the cell phone of the victim so she couldn't use it." The girl took the stand against Ek-Luna during the trial. "He told me if I was not quiet he was going to kill me," she testified. Deputy District Attorney Leon Klousharian said that Ek-Luna had shown no remorse and continued to claim the sexual encounter was consensual. On Feb. 13, the girl, now 16, said she passed Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets while walking to school and that he attacked her as she approached the campus. Ek-Luna grabbed her from behind in the school parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat, took her cell phone and raped her in nearby bushes, according to police. Following the assault, he used the broken bottle to force her off campus and made it clear that he intended to take her to a motel. But a passing driver called 911 after seeing the girl being dragged by the hair in the Canal neighborhood, and Ek-Luna was arrested a short time later. "But for the intervention of the (passing driver) who saw this going on, the defendant would have repeated his sexual assaults on the victim in a hotel," said Boren. Before sentencing, Boren asked Ek-Luna if he wished to address the court. After conferring with Oliveros, he declined. However, as the court was about to adjourn he asked, through Oliveros, if he could now speak. Boren granted the request. "I want to ask forgiveness for everything," he said. "I was wishing for a different kind of hearing." In a rambling minute or two, he said, "what I have done I accept." Something, he said "went wrong. My life story doesn't matter, who I was or who I wasn't. If I did something I must pay. If I am going to pay, I must pay it right." Oliveros said his client was having a tough time with what appeared to be his impending lengthy incarceration. The only time he had smiled during a jail conversation Wednesday evening, said Oliveros, was when Oliveros said that when Ek-Luna was eligible for parole "he would be younger than I am now." Oliveros is 51.
