This is the week that we let 17-year-olds dictate what our laws should be.
From the article:
Avendano’s family and friends said the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
“It was early in the morning, tired, going to work, 5 o’clock in the morning. I feel like a stop sign should not separate me from my dad,” said Nataly Avendano, Victor’s 17-year-old daughter.
First of all, any consequences of the traffic stop fall on Avendano, not the cops, not ICE, not even the stop sign.
I would say there are other factors, to wit: two warrants for driving without a license and failing to appear and the FACT that HE IS IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. Am I missing something? Have logic, reason, and facts completely left the building?
If this were a citizen, he would be in JAIL! Warrants for FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT?? Driving WITHOUT A Licence??
He should appear before a Judge, and YES DEPORTED after serving TIME if he does or has done it again!
