Illegal immigration is not to blame for fatality, Patrick says
Boston Globe - ^ | August 27, 2011 | Maria Sacchetti

Governor Deval Patrick said yesterday that he shared the community’s outrage over the death of a 23-year-old Milford man struck last week by an alleged drunk driver who was also an illegal immigrant. But the governor urged people not to blame the death on illegal immigration.Matthew Denice was on his motorcycle last Saturday when he was hit in Milford and dragged for a quarter-mile. Nicolas Guaman, a 34-year-old immigrant from Ecuador, has pleaded not guilty to charges that include vehicular homicide while under the influence.

“It’s a terrible, terrible tragedy,’’ Patrick said at the end of a news conference about preparations for Hurricane Irene. But, he added, “Illegal immigration didn’t kill this person. A drunk driver killed this person, and we have laws about that. And I expect the book to be thrown at this person.’’

This asshat is a friend to all criminals. Read about Ben LaGuer, convicted rapist and how deval went to bat for him. Especially take note of the section “Political use of LaGuer case.....”

Of all the crimes in America that cannot be prevented, those committed by Illegal Immigrants surely can. If they were not here, they could not do the crime.

DEPORT THEM ALL!!!!

Maybe YOU’RE to blame Patrick.

Deval, "marsha marsha" and mumbles menino (mayor) ALL have blood on their hands for this and other criminal acts committed by ILLEGALS on AMERICAN CITIZENS in this state.

Wow. You guys in Massachusetts really know how to pick out leftists to run your state. You can move to my state if you want, as long as you leave behind your poor judgment and notion that the way you do things is better. If you can’t come here and leave well enough alone, then stay and suffer. Have you ever considered seceding from the Union and becoming a Canadian province? You’d be just as well off. In fact, I’d like to see all the northeast, the northern tier states, Washington and Oregon become part of Canada. We could let Mexico have California and from Fort Lauderdale south could become Cuban.We would be rid of most of the Socialists and Communists in America plus a huge majority of the illegal immigrants. They could impoverish themselves with the parasites in society they love so much and the rest of us could get back to a Constitutional form of government. It’s a win - win. They get what they want (centralized government in every facet of their existence) and we get what we want (not having to deal with them and their stupid ideas like illegal immigration is not the root cause of why an illegal immigrant is charged in vehicular homicide).

That would make a really good protest sign—”Dead Americans-Collateral Damage”.

The “hard-working” illegals often have their wives at home collecting all the welfare benefits while pretending that they have no husbands. The man steals an American’s jobs, while the woman steals the American’s money.

I am at least heartened by the fact that thousands of people can out to that candle light vigil in Milford. It is usually La Raza or other leftist scumbags that are in the streets protesting some alleged “injustice”. This is a very public demonstration which makes politicians run scared.

For years, our only means of communicating the injuries done to Americans by illegals, has been through the internet. Many internet websites have shown the crimes committed against Americans, but the internet was not enough because it is not such a public format as a street protest. When people get out into the streets in large numbers and state their case in a law abiding way, there is no way to hide this from the public. There is no better way to put pressure on politicians than to get out in public and speak your mind. Finally, people have had enough and they are expressing their justifiable anger in a very public way.

I guess that, up until the time that he actually KILLED someone, he might not have been a “real” criminal worth of deportation, in Obama’s book. What is a couple of traffic violations, domestic violence and assault and battery encounters with the law. Will Obama please explain to us what constitutes a “real” crime that is worthy of deportation as opposed to a teen-weeny crime that allows and illegal to remain here?

Somehow, I don’t think that Obama and La Raza would want drunk driving violations to count as deportable crimes because so many illegals drive drunk, more so than the rest of the population. La Raza was even trying to keep gang members from being deported, if you can believe that.

I live in Massachusetts, the people here don’t act very differently than people in other states, it is what happens to them when they get in the voting booth. This has been a one party state for so long. A lot of the loyalty to the party is ethnic, there are a number of ethnic groups—my group being one of them—that have been voting Democrat since they got off the boat. That is the problem—why think when you can just follow the tribe.

Another aspect to this is the industrial history of Massachusetts. It was one of the first industrial states and has a history of conflict between labor and management. This has been passed on to the present day which gives the vote to the Democrats. When most of the people of your ethnic group vote Democrat, and your parents voted Democrat, and your extended family and people in your neighborhood voted Democrat, than you are very likely to vote Democrat. That is the default choice.

He is an idiot but the intellectual elite adore him. They can pride themselves on voting for the pre-Obama. Massachusetts leads the way—as always.

Thats Right and the Guns dont kill people either,people do.

Unless you happen to be a moonbeam lefty - then guns do the killing and the poor illegal that pulled the trigger is the real victim. Same with cars bigger than a motorcycle - they do the killing and the poor, drunk illegal is getting a bad rap because we won't give up the unique freedom associated with personally available transportation.
