[...] I don’t get it. Geraldo Rivera thinks it’s important to make immigration status a factor in setting bail for Class A felonies but not for minor offenses like driving without a license. Yet this guy sure sounds like a flight risk waiting to happen if he’s ever pulled over. I wonder why. [...]

[...] Speaking of hysterical ranting about anti-illegal “racism,” I couldn’t resist one more go at you know who. From today’s “Big Story,” it’s the same old shinola but it’s fun to watch him spin and, especially, sweat when he’s pressed on the minor fact that Carranza wouldn’t have been here to kill those kids had we simply enforced the law. Gibby puts it squarely to him at the end of the clip and his reaction quite literally is to sigh. The one new bit is at the beginning where he fleshes out his proposal to make immigration status a factor in bail hearings for Class A felonies on the theory that illegals charged with serious crimes are more likely to skip bail if they’re released. Which actually makes no sense: someone facing a serious felony charge like a Class A isn’t going to worry about being deported, he’s going to worry about lethal injection or life in prison. He’s the same flight risk as a citizen charged with the same crime, which is why bail is so hard to come by in those cases in the first place. It’s the lesser offenses where illegal status might matter. An illegal looking at a year for a DUI is a greater risk to jump bail than a citizen in the same circumstance because what he’s really worried about is being deported when he gets out. Geraldo realizes that, I’m sure, just like I’m sure he realizes that it’s the DUI’s who seem to do most of the killing among criminal illegal aliens, but he’s too much of an amnesty shill to take the sensible position on this. He doesn’t want people deported if they commit anything less than a Class A felony. Simple as that. [...]

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 02:44:56 +0000

[...] The punchline is that most cases involving criminal illegal aliens don’t turn on judicial incompetence. The FUBAR bail ruling is Geraldo’s very convenient “out” here; revisit Patterico’s “Deport the Criminals First” post and note how many of them were in for DUI and did their time, in full accordance with the law, only to kill when they were sprung. So far as I know, Geraldo doesn’t want DUIs to be deportable offenses at all. In fact, the most he’ll concede (at the beginning of the clip) is that illegal status should be a factor in setting bail. Which actually makes no sense — if there’s nothing wrong with being “undocumented,” why hold it against the defendant with respect to bail but not with respect to immigration law? — but it’s his nod at being “tough” on a guy who stands accused of raping toddlers and shooting teenagers in the head. And so the question remains: What if Carranza had been in for drunk driving and been bailed out per proper procedures? Where’s your judicial incompetence excuse then? [...]

[...] Originally Posted by Liebling:-))) That’s illegal! What they did is bad and wrong. What US immigration law do with them after arrest them for illegal immigrates and plus commit the crimes? That’s the problem. Most of these illegal aliens don’t get arrested until they are in a car wreck, or rape someone, or kill someone. They should be arrested and sent back to their country before they hurt someone but it doesn’t happen. Local police are told to NOT enforce immigration laws, and the federal ICE people don’t have enough resources to do the job. That’s one reason that many Americans support building a better wall (physical and thru enforcement) to prevent illegal aliens from sneaking into our country in the first place. If an illegal alien is arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for commiting a crime (for example, rape), they are supposed to serve their prison sentence in the USA, then be sent back to their home country. Sadly, they don’t stay out of the USA, and they sneak back in. Hot Air

[...] So this does have a little something to do with immigration status, huh? Specifically, it has to do with the scandalous incompetence of ICE in failing to keeping tabs on convicted criminals in the system so that they can move quickly to bounce them when they become deportable. The death toll keeps rising and Geraldo keeps spin spin spinnin’. I wonder if Gibby will have him back on to “clarify” or if it’ll fall to O’Reilly to take him apart on Wednesday night. [...]

Thanks Patterico, for your sound thinking on this matter. It would be a very pleasant surprise indeed if our elected officials started thinking rationally about our borders and protecting our citizens, but I sure won’t hold my breath. This column reminded me of the railroad killer, Angel Maturino Resendiz, who traveled freely between Mexico and the US for at least 20 years, despite constantly being arrested for various things. Eventually, he killed 15 – 25 people (depending on who you ask), including a college student here in Lexington. The student’s girlfriend was brutally raped, but survived. She was the only one of his victims who survived, and only because he thought she was dead. She ultimately managed to help identify Resendiz in the end. He was executed almost a year ago in Texas, despite statewide protests in Texas by folks who felt that this POS deserved to continue to draw breath. At least this one ended properly, but had he been deported when he was first arrested as a juvenile, 15 – 25 people would still be alive today.

Please don't forget Denver Detective Donald ("Donnie") Young, killed while working a uniform OT assignment by known illegal Raul Gomez-Garcia in May 2005. The assailant, previously contacted in Denver (a sanctuary city) for traffic offensesm returned with a gun to the site where Young and his partner had previously turned Gomez-Garcia away for not being able to produce his invitation to the event: an infant's baptism celebration. Both officers were shot, Young died instantly. Gomez-Garcia had been employed as a dishwasher at a restaurant in which Denver mayor John Hickenlooper had a controlling interest. Fortunately, the illegal was turned in by his grandmother in Mexico and successfully extradited back to the States, but only after an agreement was made not to charge him with Felony Capital Murder. The scumbag's defense attorneys helped him miss part of his sentencing hearing for fear of riling the court and upsetting the surviving family because he would have appeared in court with the gang symbols he had shaved into his hair while in prison.

I was living in Las Vegas when Nicolas Serrano-Villagrana killed that little boy. That POS got out of his truck (with the big Brahma bull sticker on the side) and tried to blend in with the victims family and bystanders. That entire neighborhood is over run with illegals.

I wonder what it would take for the American people to, according to the provision in the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, to usurp the powers of the government and establish a new government.

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Sounds to me like the conditions for that provision are approaching.

Yet, I wonder. I believe, that save for a small rogue group, the vast majority will never rise up against their own government regardless of circumstances.

That being the case, I believe that no matter how corrupt the system gets, no matter how corrupt the politicians, no matter how criminal the effect of their malfeasance, the American people, like all people throughout the world, will not revolt en masse. The few that will, can be put down by the Army. The days where revolutions were possible and enacted by a few brave men are long gone. The government is so powerful and expansive, no small group of men could make a difference at this point. It would take, at least, several hundred thousand well-placed citizens, ready to risk their lives, to act in concert to form a new government. Many of those would have to be in the upper echelons of the military.

Not going to happen. Mexamerica is coming with or without amnesty.
