U.S. Immigration Laws Facing New Scrutiny After Killings By JENNIFER MEDINA and JULIA PRESTON OCT. 28, 2014

LOS ANGELES — It would seem to be a worst case that opponents of the Obama administration on immigration had long forecast: An illegal immigrant — one who had been deported twice, yet returned to the country each time — is accused of killing two Northern California sheriff’s officers in a six-hour shooting rampage Friday.

The suspect led the authorities on a manhunt through two counties. After he was booked into the Sacramento County jail, federal immigration authorities used his fingerprints to identify the man, who gave his name as Marcelo Marquez: They said he was Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamonte, a Mexican who lived without papers in this country for more than a decade after he was deported in 1997 and again in 2001 because of drug- and weapon-related arrests.

“This case shows that our laws are not being enforced, and there are tragic consequences to not enforcing them,” said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, a group that advocates tougher immigration controls.

It’s my hope that liberals’ kids are the ones most targeted by this vermin for abuse and murder.

Liberals made this bed, now they should share it with their family and leave mine out of it.

all in Cal we’ve had a family killed in SF the sanctuary mayor will be gov in 5 years.

we had a football player walking home from HS killed by an illegals just released from jail in LA. The city council laughed at his parents when they asked for policy changes. The mayor was the head cheerleader for illegals.

Don’t know what will have to happen to get the public mad enough to demand enforcement.

Oh please LAT. Illegal fumigants kill about 12 Americans every DAY. Numerous children have become infected, paralyzed, and some have died because of the infection in Chief. VOTES are more important to Democrats than LIVES. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO AND IT WILL NEVER CHANGE! SO F..K OFF!

I'm sorry for the loss of the Sheriffs and the tragedy for their families, BUT are we only concerned because LEO's have been killed? This crap has been going on for a long time, murderers aided and abetted by liberal A-holes with their sanctuary cities, and pandering to the There have been a lot more civilian lives taken by these cockroaches but it seems it's only problematic when LEO's are killed.

Isn’t it curious how “U.S. Immigration Laws Facing New Scrutiny After Killings” of two “sheriff’s officers.”

How many “regular people” would have to die for immigration laws to merit the same scrutiny.

It’s more than liberals. Anybody who makes their fortune from Big Government wants to flood the country with illegals.

Liberals made this bed,

Liberals, along with McCain, the Bush family, GOP congressional leaders, and big GOP donors. Why do hear so little outrage from the GOP? Because they’re fed by big donors who want open borders.

No, he only banned the ones that George Bush hadn’t already banned.

The LA Times is just as responsible as anyone for every killing committed here by illegal aliens.
