How do you say illegal alien because I doubt this pos was in the country legally.
The complaint was that the perp didn't know he could contact the Mexican authorities to assist him in his legal defense.
The Demoncats have criminalized the act of even asking someone about their immigration status so exactly how were the arresting officers, the prosecutors and everyone else involved know to inform this perp of some alleged extra right that Americans don't have?
The wicked bastards want it both ways, they don't want LEOs to know the nationality and immigration status, yet they want to treat illegal aliens with preferential treatment without explaining how that would be accomplished sans profiling.
That means, literally, that the Mexicans demanding this notification BS also do not want us to find out there are Mexicans lurking around who are probably going to need that notification.
One thing we can do is have our government pass a law that provides that no one who is subject to deportation can file an appeal of an administrative determination regarding national status from the United States. They'll have to go somewhere else to do so!
