Well, if legal immigrants commit crimes they are legal criminal immigrants.

[TheDon]

Agreed. Old Doug will still be around to continue raping and murdering.

[TheDon]

Herrera, whose visa expired five years ago, was the only defense witness.

It's not just those who cross the border illegally, but those who overstay their visas that must be deported.

[varon]

And I hope someone brings this story up at the next Bush news conference.

Bush's Press Secretary will just remind us that the sanctioned incursion by illegals into our country is a small price to pay for having given the Iraqis the opportunity for the first time in their lives to stick their fingers into a bottle of purple ink!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

That should have been learned in the Elizabeth Smart case. The man who abducted her just came off the street.

[Marine Inspector]

And many of our political and religious leaders want more of criminals such as he to invade this country.

As long as he pays taxes and gives money to the church.

Herrera, whose visa expired five years ago.

He may be illegal now, but he came here legally ... we had papers on him. Whyinthehell wasn't he tracked down when his visa expired?

[Dad yer funny]

I wonder where Dan Nagle stood on the "illegals" issue before this tragic crime?

... after all , the contractor passed along the savings to the homeowner...

.. by having cheaper illegal labor [/srcsm]

[but they're SOOOO nice , we don't need to know their backgrounds]

[Chili Girl]

Illegal immigrants here longer than five years would not be required to return home;

So glad the Senate thinks this is a good idea - this lousy criminal will get amnesty!

[Liz]

An outrage.

[TankerKC]

Bush will get him amnesty.

Perhaps you cold point me to a link detailing this rape and murder amnesty.

"Whyinthehell wasn't he tracked down when his visa expired?"

NOBODY is tracked down when their visa expires. NOBODY! Unless, you know, they kill somebody or blow up a building or something.

This is why the focus on the illegal border crossers obscures this picture. I'm quite sure we in Hudson County, NJ are DROWINING in illegals and I'm also quite sure many, if not most, arrived via airplane. With visas. From Islamic nations. Like Atta & Co.

[ArrogantBustard]

This is why the focus on the illegal border crossers obscures this picture.

Sure ... but it makes for better sensationalism and demogoguery.

NOBODY is tracked down when their visa expires

That's just wrong.

700 years spent under Muslim rule will have a long-term effect....
