A migrant accused of brutally stabbing a fellow asylum seeker to death New York tent shelter allegedly asked security guards to let him “finish the job” in coldblooded comments after the attack, prosecutors said at his arraignment on Tuesday.

They can kill each other off.

But only 15 years for that?

He should get the death penalty.

"He should get the death penalty."

It sounds like there was provocation. Give him a Big Mac, put him on a plane, and drop him off in Caracas.

Yeah. These are the same ones who tell us they are seeking asylum in the U.S. because of the terrible violence directed at them in their home countries. Right.
