A Mexican national who has been deported five times after illegally entering the United States was caught in his south Minneapolis home with a semi-automatic pistol, dozens of rounds of ammunition, several pounds of marijuana and other illicit drugs, according to charges filed Thursday.

Joaquin Bravo Flores, 25, is charged in federal court with being an "illegal alien in possession of a firearm."

Flores' deportations came in two instances of rapid succession: on Jan. 14 and 16 in 2000, and on Nov. 5, 7 and 8 of 2003, according to the indictment.

In October 2005, nearly two years after his most recent deportation, Flores was pulled over while driving in Anoka County without a driver's license, court records show. He pleaded guilty and paid $150 in fines and other costs.

It’s okay - move along. He was just doing the job that lazy Americans wouldn’t do.

My long standing position is that people who are deported should be given a distinctive tattoo, and delivered to a site outside the US. You get transported, no muss no fuss, we don't want to ruin your day, but we want you out of our country.

Anyone found inside the US, with that distinctive tattoo may be killed by any US citizen, for any reason, by any method. No charges. Maybe even a small reward.

It's a war. We're being invaded. US Citizens should kill members of the invading army. All I ask is for the US government to help me identify the targets.

So shoot him with the Gun and Ammo!

Ideally he should be put in an outdoor prison for 10-20 years. A tent city prison like Sherrif Joe Arpaios. It burns me up seeing how much we spend to jail these invaders

[WOBBLY BOB]

We could outsource that to Guam or Vanatu and hire foreign ,cheap labor from Bangladesh.
Then send that bill to MX.

[dennisw]

We need a huge Devil’s Island where we can airdrop foreign born criminals. For most of them doing time at club Fed is like club Med> Compared to living poor in Guatemala or Mexico, the insides of a US prison are like a luxury hotel

Illegally reentering into the USA after deportation is a federal felony. The law is rarely enforced. No wonder our toothless laws are not respected.

Very few know this is a felony and yes it is rarely enforced. At a minimum anyone who re-enters after deportation should be prosecuted and given two years in a tent city, peanut butter and jelly sandwich diet, wearing pink underwear kind of prison like Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s

He sounds like a La Raza Poster Thug, just doing jobs Americans will not do:

“A Mexican national who has been deported five times after illegally entering the United States was caught in his south Minneapolis home with a semi-automatic pistol, dozens of rounds of ammunition, several pounds of marijuana and other illicit drugs.”

I live in Indiana. In today’s local paper there is a story about a guy facing deportation for the eighth time.

[thethirddegree]

We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.

[thethirddegree]

I LIKE the way you think. We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to re-enter illegally.

And people wonder why the citizens are falling in love with Gov Jan Brewer!!!

And used as slave labor to build the Southern Wall...

Really? Anyone could kill anyone. Just be sure to tattoo them afterward. Does that include children? How would you feel if someone tattooed your child or grand child?

[ClearCase_guy]

I won't try to spell out all the details (since there's no chance my idea will ever be considered), but I will say this:

Illegal immigrants over 18 should have a tattoo which includes a registration number. Killing someone with a fake registration number is murder. Catch 'em. Verify 'em. Kill 'em. I just want to avoid endless deportations or trials. I see no need to treat enemy combatants in that way.

Illegal immigrants between the ages of 12 and 18 should be imprisoned. Not a max facility where they will be abused. A nice place. I'm willing to spend some money to make it a safe environment for them. Then, on their 18th birthday, they get the tattoo, and they are taken across the border.

Illegal immigrants under age 12 can be deported an endless number of times.

My real point is that we ought to get tough. We ought to have a plan. We can't wait on a perfect plan. And we have to stop being squeamish. It really is a war. Innocents die in war. It's sad, but only a hare-brained Leftist ought to think that we can win a war without ever hurting anyone.

Lies, lies, and more lies.

These poor 'immigrants' only come here to work hard, pay taxes, go to church, make a better life for themselves, and they abide by ALL our laws.

Really, I saw it on TV, a politician said so.
