Illegal Alien's hanging in jail fuels many questions

[Ban Hammer 14,269]

I think every time this happens we should all go and dance nekkid around the dead body. Sheesh. Obsession, indeed.

and that would accomplish what?

Perhaps the same thing that obsessing over a topic does. Nothing.

Some very heartless comments. I guess just because someone is illegal they deserve to be treated with violence and beaten? Detained and Deported, yes he broke a huge rule, and got caught. He played the game and lost. But to be violently beaten like that, come on. Get over yourselves and be glad you are not nor ever will be in the position of this young man, or the circumstances that made him feel he needed to be here illegally in the first place.

Give me a f--kin break..

Whenever I post one of many articles of the thousands of A M E R I C A N S that are killed, in A M E R I C A, at the hands of illegal immigrants, I get little to no response. As soon some illegal immigrant is hurt or killed, forgetaboutit. Then it is some sort of crime against humanity.

Sure you do.

time for some america hating.

The Houston Chronicle (aka: The Houston Comical) is packed full of these pro-illegal alien stories that are written with the angle that is always sympathetic to the illegal alien while painting law enforcement in the worst light. The story is tragic, but this kid had absolutely no right to illegally immigrate, work illegally, drive illegally without authorization, and break numerous other laws of our country. As such, he was definitely arrestable, detainable, and deportable. The alternative is to just have open borders into the USA.

Where is the balance? I wonder whose identity he stole or what type of fraudulent ID he used to get his job? I wonder if his employer filled out an I-9 or was just paying this kid off the books? I wonder how much his presence in the USA is costing the school district or what other social services he tapped into while illegally in our country? I wonder if the rest of his family are illegals too?

These stories in the Houston Comical fail to ask any of these pertanent questions. Unfortunately it is the only major newspaper we have in town. It is a joke. It is just a mouthpiece for the chamber of commerce / open borders crowd.

In the case of this story - the guy died. However you want to present that it isn't going to change the fact that the death will always be the centrepiece of the story. Not too many other ways to present that IMO. Indeed if the media does want to discuss those other issues - it should pick other stories with which to do so that won't get bogged down in sentimentality.

It does in fact - usually when an illegal immigrant commits a violent crime. The sentimentality is still there however...

Numbers don't lie, somebody just got his mouth shut

Maybe that fixation comes from childhood being bullied by undocumented hispanics or maybe a daughter or a son married an undocumented latin lover , who knows....

That's what happens when you try to connect the immigration status of the perpetrator to the motivation for the crime. In most cases, it just doesn't stick.
