LA VERGNE, Tenn. - An 18-year-old Salvadoran man was arrested and charged with raping a child.
Authorities said he should not have been living in the United States because he emigrated illegally.
Police arrested Diego Francisco Escobar-Landaverde for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl.
Police initially denied having sex with the girl over weekend. The girl told her mother what happened the next day.
"He admitted having sex with a 12-year-old," said La Vergne Police Chief Ted Boyd.
Police are linking Escobar-Landaverde to a sexual attack on a young girl inside a vacant mobile home.
His charge renews an ongoing debate about how to trace illegal immigrants who are, in the eyes of some investigators, untraceable.
Boyd said he doesn't have a Social Security number or driver's license.
More and more illegal immigrants crowd county jails.
This leaves sheriffs and police chiefs wondering how to charge them, whether to deport them or not and how to get around an obvious language barrier.
"It's a problem," said La Vergne Police Lt. Stace Thompson.
A stumbling block, police said, is no excuse for breaking the law.
"I don't think that there's a clear understanding that it's not acceptable here by those people when they come from some other place," Thompson said.
Escobar-Landaverde is from El Salvador.
"Right now, it would appear that he should not be here," Thompson said.
Escobar-Landaverde was deported out of Rio Grande, Texas, nearly two years ago.
The federal government is extending a helping hand to police, offering training on how to handle such foreign offenders.
It is an idea the chief in La Vergne embraces.
"It's something we're going to look into, and if it's feasible and it's something that we can do to help our community -- then we're going to do it," Boyd said.
Escobar-Landaverde's relatives, who speak little English, claimed he has until this March to get out of the country.
He told police it was consensual sex, but the alleged victim, who is also Salvadoran, disagreed.
Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement will take him into custody after La Vergne police finish with him.
Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies are also on-board with the government's 287-G program, a how-to course on handling illegal immigrants.
But a spokesman said, for some reason, ICE officials have pushed back the start date.
Escobar-Landaverde is from El Salvador.]
This is true. Just because something is 'okay' in El Salvadore they think it's okay here, too.
By allowing the illegals to stay the U.S. Govt. gives them the impression that laws are only for American citizesn.
The reference to the "new American comes from here:
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
I am so f*****g sick of these illegals and the crimes and destruction they routinely plague us with. Our politicians’ actions encourage this crap. And Jorge Bush is one of the biggest offenders in that regard. A pox on all of their houses!
1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, screwed if you do, screwed if you don’t.
Choices? I don’t think so.
At least the 12 year olds in the families of these great American leaders are safe, doncha know?
Now all you stupid unimportant people, "shut up about border security, we're working on it."
bttt!
This is true, and those bonds are why the USA has more in common with my country - distant Australia - than with foreign nations on its very borders. I do not know why US officials do not see this.
18 years old??...WTF!!!
at 18 i was chasing every cheerleader and chick i could find.
Oh if their dads ever knew...what I did.
a 12 year old wasnt even a consideration...guy needs to be shot.
“Police initially denied having sex with the girl over weekend.”
Well it certainly comforts me to know that they had nothing to do with it.
“I do not know why US officials do not see this.”
They do, but they don’t care. They are about personal power and wealth. Their person and not anyone elses.
“Oh if their dads ever knew...what I did.
a 12 year old wasnt even a consideration...guy needs to be shot.”
Their Dad may very have said and done the same thing to you. Even those the cases are certainly not parallel.
How's that fence coming along, Jorge?
Why won’t they build the freakin’ wall already!!!! This guy was deported and sneaked back in once already—maybe we can’t keep every single one of them out, but we could darn sure make it tougher and slow the flood to a trickle. We don’t need this kind of “diversity”, we have enough home-grown baby-rapers!
“Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande.”
Coming soon to a barrio near you.
We need Duncan Hunter in the WH.
Let us thank God daily we don’t live in a place where raping a 12-year-old is acceptable. Let us fight to keep it that way.
We need the victim and their family to get a shot at some retribution with no limit on what they can do.
But on a completely different topic, I find it interesting that the journalist that penned the main arcticle is incabable of linking two related thoughts together in a single paragraph. The entire article is written as a series of bullet points.
Excellent observation.
And thanks for the post. More proof the US is slipping into Third Worldism.
The illegal savages screwed up their own hellhole countries---now they are being encouraged to invade our borders to do the same here.
We need to institute a policy simular to bears that wonder into town. We catch them, tag them, take them back up into the woods and release them. If they show up again, we shoot them. Problem solved.
Sometimes I wonder how much of the movie ‘Borat’ is true to life!
