EASTON, PA | A 33-year-old Easton man, (illegal alien) accused of raping an 8-year-old girl last April, waived all charges to court Thursday with the understanding he will plead guilty to two offenses and have the MORE SERIOUS CHARGES WITHDRAWN.
Francisco Rodriguez of the 100 block of North Second Street is charged with rape, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault and endangering the welfare of children.
Rodriguez, clad in an orange jumpsuit and flanked by his attorney, David Vaida, and a translator Thursday, agreed to waive his preliminary hearing. Assistant District Attorney Pat Broscius said he will plead guilty to aggravated indecent assault and statutory sexual assault. All other charges will be withdrawn, Broscius said.
Police said Rodriguez, an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, was alone with the girl on April 4, 2005. The girl's mother told police she found Rodriguez in a bedroom wearing only his underwear. The girl's clothing was on the bedroom floor, according to court documents.
Rodriguez allegedly refused to allow the mother into the closet area where the child's bedroom was located. The girl told her mother Rodriguez had touched her genitals and had sex with her, according to court papers.
Police said Rodriguez fled to Newark and was returned to the county for a bench warrant hearing in mid-February.

I have the same questions.
That won't happen.

Respectfully, I think you're missing the point. People ARE upset that he raped a little girl. But they're reeling at that fact that: If our laws had only been enforced, he wouldn't even have been here to do that.
Do they let you have guns in NJ?
An illegal alien who raped a baby gets to plea and a deal.
When do American children get the "deal" to be protected from illegals?
Exactly! A few years ago you didn't even see illegals here in eastern PA. Now they're all over the area and committing crimes.
If he wasn't here, she wouldn't have been raped.

Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861
Which of those two options do you prefer?
Next thing you know these animals will be saying it is their "human right" to commit these crimes since that is the way things are done in Mexico. Culture and all you know.
The sad part is our courts will probably allow a defense like that and embrace it.
I say we start with the 17th.

"Could that day be coming?"
Which day? Amending the Constitution can be done any time there is sufficient will to do so. If you're talking about revolution, I'm not exactly sure what that would accomplish, and I consider such a course of events improbable at the very best.
If you want to amend the Constitution, you have several avenues to approach that process. I'd start with this Congressional election.
"All we need to do is repeal a couple of the peskiest Constitutional Amendments."
Well, the process for doing so is laid out in the Constitution itself. Go for it!
Whatever it takes to get our government back to the principle "of the people, by the people, for the people".
I would have "tuned him up" too!
I was wondering the exact same thing.
