Well, that will keep Mexico happy. That’s what’s important afterall.
You are dead wrong on this case.
The employer has been brought Quintero back to the USA after he was deported. There was a lot more than your usual boss-employee relationship
When Quintero-Perez was pulled over by Johnson, he was driving a company truck owned by Camp, authorities said.
According to a criminal complaint, Quintero-Perez was charged with the state felony offense of indecency with a child in 1998.
Camp allegedly posted his $10,000 bond and hired a defense attorney for him.
Quintero-Perez was deported in 1999 after being convicted. But later that year, he returned to the county illegally, with Camp buying him a plane ticket from Phoenix to Houston, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities, in the complaint, also allege that Quintero-Perez returned to work for Camp, who bought him a home that the illegal immigrant and his wife, Theresa Quintero, rented.
Theresa Quintero told authorities that Camp falsely listed her and not her husband as an employee of his landscaping company, according to the complaint.
After the shooting, Camp told Houston police that Quintero-Perez was one of his employees, but when questioned later by immigration authorities he denied the illegal immigrant ever worked for him, according to the complaint.
"Officer Rodney Johnson's terrible murder illustrates that hiring and harboring of illegal aliens is not a victimless crime," said Robert Rutt, special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Investigations in Houston.

The landlord where he lived should also be sued.

I don’t doubt the specifics of this case at all. I just don’t like the starting premise that an employer has committed a more serious violation of the law than the illegal who invaded our country in the first place. Especially when the illegal isn’t even deported. That’s the quarter on a string analogy.
Not one American in Houston, not one legal resident, is capable of handling a landscaping job? I think this bears a deeper look. Camp is probably smuggling drugs.
Are any charges being brought against him?
