Feds Release Illegal Immigrant After Two DUIs Who Kills Nun and Injures Two Others

Carlos Montano, an illegal alien, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving for hitting and killing a nun and injuring two others critically this weekend. Montano was arrested two other times for DUIs, and the police reported him to federal authorities, namely, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who were in the process of deporting him. Unfortunately for Sister Denise Mosier, the feds let this two-time offender out on his own recognizance after two major offenses. 

Not surprisingly, calls made to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security were not returned. It is this type of mishandling of  illegal immigrants by federal authorities that forced Jan Brewer and other governors to enact legislation to protect their populace. This story, and as many others as the Republicans can find, should be fodder for election commercials over the next few months. The GOP should fully expose the Obama administration's policy of failing to enforce the law and allowing "virtual amnesty" as it results in waste, abuse and even tragedy. 

México no le Gusta la Ley de Arizona

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said a law passed this week by the Arizona legislature making it a state crime for undocumented migrants to be within its borders "could have potentially serious effects on the civil rights" of Mexican nationals. It seems they are worried about the potential law's effects on their reltionship with Arizona as it allegedly "opens the door to the inappropriate use of racial profiling." Presumably, the Arizona legislature, recognizing the urgency for immigration reform in their state, is tired of waiting for Washington to protect its borders. After all, 11 million Mexicans live in the US and many of them are without documentation and living in Arizona. I credit Arizona for taking action to protect its borders and stave the growing tide of illegal immigration and all the fiscal and social burdens that come with it. After all, all the law requires is that state and local police determine if there is "reasonable suspicion" that people are illegal immigrants and if so, that they arrest them if they are within Airzona illegally. To be honest, I thought police officers could already do this. And, it also punishes those businesses who transport illegal immigrants or hire day laborers off the street.
