(West Palm Beach, Florida) Some people are more equal than others.
On four previous occasions, international trespasser Mendoza was cited for driving without a license. This time, someone died. As a result, he gets six months and deportation. The jail term is a gift and the deportation is a nothing. Even at his young age, Mendoza probably has more visits to the border than your typical Taco Bell customer.

I just do not get the logic. Repeat offender finally kills an innocent victim -- and he gets time served? Let's take the immigration status out of the equation. That is just wrong.
But to deport him so he can come back is attrocious!

As a conservative immigration attorney I need to weigh in on this. In this particular case the alien is guilty of what's called an "aggravated felony" under immigration law. After he is deported ("removed" is the technical term post 1996), he can NEVER come back to the USA legally. If he returns and is caught, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
And the Feds DO prosecute these matters. I had one case where we were asked to defend a guy from Honduras who returned to see his newborn child. Only problem was he had a conviction for having sex with another, underage female, and had previously been removed for it. When he was caught, he wound up getting sentenced by a federal judge to three years.
The Feds especially don't like violent criminals coming back in violation of prior removal orders.

Wow, three years in the slammer is REAL punishment for statutory rape. I think 30 years would have been more like it, and hard labor at that. Perhaps these illegals would decide the US was not such a gravy train after all.
Wasn't there a recent case in Denver where an illegal alien murdered a police officer? And other cases in California where illegals are committing felonies that either go unpunished or they get favorable treatment.

Did anyone else read the original article from Miami.com ? The woman was riding on the back of her husband's motorcycle. Her husband was intoxicated and hit a stopped vehicle. There was a lot of blame here for all. I ride here in New York City, I would never ride intoxicated, it is just too dangerous

Ignor that first post, I am not sure if that was me. I had to run do an illegal alien ultrasound exam. They use our ER as a clinic.
Please keep working men, we will need your tax money to pay for that exam, child care, school etc...

Until the judiciary starts to impose heavy penalties on these illegals, they will keep coming and breaking the law.

Why don't you turn them in to BICE, Leatherneck?

You misunderstand. He did whatever time he had for the statutory rape, then was deported. His crime was crossing the border back into the USA with a prior statutory rape conviction, and for
that he got three years.
I'm not saying this to elicit sympathy for the guy, just to tell you what happened.

Joe -- probably because he faces termination if he does -- just like I do if i ever drop a dime on any of my students (or their parents) who are here illegally.
I'll be honest -- food, shelter, and medical care for my chronically-ill wife trumps principle.

This creation of a two tiered legal system is (among) the issues worth rising up and shuting down the system over.
I sit in court repeatedly and see illegals (non English speakers) given interpreters, heard first ahead of citizens and receiving half or less fines than citizens and less time or no time served compared to us sucker tax payors.
THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED STRAIGHT OUT OF THE COURTHOUSES and any other gathering areas where they can be found.
In this two tier system being shoved down our throats the people with the real drivers licenses and the permanent addresses are the ones being screwed the most.
ARE YOU WILLING TO LEAVE THIS FOR YOUR CHILDREN???
Those of us that are "law abiding citizens" have become patsys to pay for the destruction of the system - we're suckers! We are funding the beaureaucraps to F**k us and we are to stupid, lazy or fearful to say anything about it.
Illegals are planning to shut down the country on May day, I ask all true Americans, all lovers of the constitution to realize that the country is being lost NOW - this year. We may not have long to take it back.
We have (almost) no representation - No matter your party your alleged representatives represent themselves and some apparent goal to dilute the value of your US citizenship and tax you and regulate you into serfdom.
Cameras everywhere - large fines - mandatory sentences - tax increases to fund the insatiable apatite of government, but this surveilence and the loss of freedoms only applies to citizens - illegal aliens - felons by definition, get a pass.
We need a wall, we need troops on the border, we need undocumented aliens deported upon discovery, we need a heavy fine for employers hiring illegals with a bounty paid for turning them in and we need to end completely moslem imigration to name some simple common sense URGENT starting points.
I'm watching for suggestions for depriving the parties, the "representatives", the governments of money and cooperation in a meaningful way.
Are we so apathetic that we will leave a third world service economy and a shredded constitution to our children?
I spit on the "representatives". Their agenda is not in the interest of my children. We need to stand up like the Founders intended before it's to late and turn this ship around!!!!!
I'm listening

It's clear what's going to happen; the government is going to let things get out of control, and even contribute to the mess, until the people have had enough, and then they may pretend to act on it, but by then it will be too late. It's already too late. Pretty soon the only way to deal with this invasion will be to start killing them wherever they are found.
