Civilization ends: 10-year-old gives birth after being raped by suspected illegal immigrant
posted at 7:25 pm on May 8, 2008 by Allahpundit
Emphasis on suspected: Early reports claim that he’s here illegally but cops are still investigating. My deepest apologies to amnesty shills everywhere for even bringing his status up. Hopefully it’ll turn out he’s a citizen so we can all breathe a sigh of relief and be comfortably outraged by the crime; otherwise this is destined to end up on “Geraldo At Large” as one of those segments in which our fearless host spends six of the seven minutes devoted to it explaining why immigration politics have absolutely, positively nothing whatsoever to do with the matter — even though in theory stronger enforcement would have kept this guy out of the country in the first place.

Are they going to examine the children he lives with as well?

Send him back…in pieces.

Rape should still be a hanging offense. Especially child rape.
Vatican Watcher on May 8, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Barring that, give the monster the needle, the sooner the better.
doubleplusundead on May 8, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Would it be any less of a horror if he was legal?
Terrye on May 8, 2008 at 7:35 PM
I’m no Geraldo fan, but c’mon…he kinda has a point.
Yes, stronger border enforcement might have kept this particular guy out (Remember, not all illegals here jumped the fence at the Mexican border) but outrage does have to be on the crime itself…not the legal status of the perp.
JetBoy on May 8, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Why complain? He’s a “hard worker” as McCain et al have said as the vehemently defended his right to be here illegally (if that is the case):-).
TOPV on May 8, 2008 at 7:38 PM
Indeed it does, but riddle me this: If the judge lets this guy out on bail and he goes out and rapes another 10-year-old, on whom will the outrage fall? The suspect himself, of course — and the judge, for being so derelict in his duties that he enabled the crime to occur.
Same here.
Allahpundit on May 8, 2008 at 7:39 PM
I guess Americans are as unwilling to rape 10-year-olds as they are loathe to pick lettuce. Perhaps McCain can feature this guy as a reason why we need to give no-questions-asked amnesty to all the illegals in this country.
Oh! I see. We can’t be outraged about both the crime and the legal status of the monster who did it? Fact of the matter is that the monster would be in some other country raping 10-year-olds if we had a secure border so it IS a relevant part of the story no matter how much you open borders advocates want to separate crimes from the legal status of the folks “doing the job Americans won’t do.”
highhopes on May 8, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Raping children is possibly the worst crime on earth. I don’t support the death penalty, but for this creep I’d make an exception.
BadgerHawk on May 8, 2008 at 7:40 PM
Sigh. No, it wouldn’t be any less of a horror. Was Wayne Dumond’s murder of that young woman any less horrible because he’d been let out early on parole? No — and yet, Huckabee continues to pay a price for it to this day.
We trust law enforcement to do their utmost to protect us. They’re letting us down on immigration. This — may — be one of the consequences.
Allahpundit on May 8, 2008 at 7:40 PM
“Would it be any less of a horror if he was legal?”
Probably not but that’s not the point. The point is that this “horror” would have been avoided if we were controlling our borders.
rplat on May 8, 2008 at 7:42 PM
Damn have we become so BRAINWASHED that we imagine the outrage will be about rape, illegals, or even “babies having babies”?!
Wake up people. This is going to be a story about ABORTION! And the fanatic parents who prevented it. It may even turn into a story about illegals afraid to get an abortion because they were afraid of discovery and deportation.
This will be a horror show, but not the way we expect. Count on it. I can hear Obama now…
Agrippa2k on May 8, 2008 at 7:45 PM
No, no he doesn’t.
doubleplusundead on May 8, 2008 at 7:45 PM
It does beg the question – what was going on in that house? Also how much did the neighbors know?
Agrippa2k on May 8, 2008 at 7:46 PM
There’s the Jamiel Shaw case in LA where illegal gangbanger arrested numerous times, released from jail after serving 4 months for a weapon offense shoots and kills Jamiel, 17 years old, one day later as he is walking home. His parents are trying desperately to get the law to change so this city is not a sanctuary for convicted gangster thugs. But the politicians treat his parents like crap. His mother is serving in Iraq, too.
Blake on May 8, 2008 at 7:47 PM
Yes, I agree in that instance, the judge should bear part of the blame, because he made the decision to let him out, which is different than just legal status.
Are you saying border security is to blame? Or the states? Or Congress for not passing tougher laws? The list can go on and on. It’s not that, allegedly mind you, an illegal committed this heinous crime…but that this crime was committed by a person.
American citizens commit horrible crimes too…and it’s usually the liberals who play the “blame game” rather than let it rest where the blame belongs…on the personal responsibility of the criminal.
JetBoy on May 8, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Is this guy a superdelegate?
alycan1 on May 8, 2008 at 7:49 PM
Er, yep. Keep illegals out and they won’t be here to commit crimes.
Allahpundit on May 8, 2008 at 7:50 PM
Just a small correction for those McCain enthusiasts:
I hope McCain lovers can have a good night sleep tonight.
Buenas noches amigos.
Indy Conservative on May 8, 2008 at 7:50 PM
I don’t see how anyone can argue his illegal status is not relevant. If he was not in this country, he would not be here to rape a child. It would have prevented this child from being raped by this defendant.
Blake on May 8, 2008 at 7:51 PM
The flaw in Geraldo’s “liberal” reasoning is to assume that “everybody is the same”, what does it matter where they come from, and how they got here.
We spend lots of money on propaganda to establish certain values in this society. These have much less affect outside our borders. Take a look around the world.
Should we think that a machete wielding veteran of Rwanda suddenly becomes a saint upon immigration to the US? Honor killings become impossible once a fanatic enters our borders?
Outside the US, life is cheap. Innocence is not respected.
Agrippa2k on May 8, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Actually, one could argue it would be. This was potentially preventable. I know I feel worse about an unhappy event when I could have done something to prevent it.
Put another way, it’s simple addition. To the horror of the rape, you add the injustice of this person’s having access to the child to begin with.
mikeyboss on May 8, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Legal/illegal is a side issue….
turn off his air.
Limerick on May 8, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Come on guys, he’s just here raping the children Americans don’t want to rape.
badpenguin on May 8, 2008 at 7:55 PM
I’m moving back to Rexburg, ID which is about 15 miles south of St. Anthony. I’ll be watching this case closely.
This makes two crazy news stories that come from the area around my home town in the last six months. Some of you long time Hot Air readers will remember last winter the sheriff deputy who shot the dog three times and still couldn’t kill it. That was in the same area, between St. Anthony and Rexburg.
Troy Rasmussen on May 8, 2008 at 8:01 PM
Somehow, I knew right off the bat someone would pin this on McCain. Ridiculous, and totally unwarranted.
I’m sorry, but I believe that’s an oversimplification. And I still say, who or what exactly will keep illegals out? No one…Left or Right, Democrat or Republican, is going to clamp down on it. Just ain’t gonna happen…McCain’s come closest so far in saying he’ll secure the border. But again, all the illegals here that I know came here legally, but just overstayed their visas. And none of them commit crimes. Especially not like this case.
Bottom line though, this crime has to put the blame on the perp. Not legal status, race, gender, socio-economic upbringing, etc etc. It’s just a sick individual.
JetBoy on May 8, 2008 at 8:03 PM
Civilization has not ended. Civilization is going to put that creep in prison.
indythinker on May 8, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Awful. Fry him, hang him, then firing squad.
As to his immigration status- yes, it matters for two reasons:
1. He shouldn’t have been here in the first place.
2. The fact that he was here implies that as someone living in the US illegally, he’s essentially an outlaw- no ID (or a forged one), no strong connection to family, community or country and it’s laws.
Given that such a person is already “living in the shadows”, skirting immigration, employment and tax laws should we really be surprised that some illegals don’t have much respect for the law or community they live in?
Just as tourists behave differently (and often worse) on vacation than they do at home, I suspect that many illegals behave differently here than they would in their home country, where connections to family and community help keep people in check.

Gracias amigo.
Indy Conservative on May 8, 2008 at 8:16 PM
No, not anymore. Enough is enough. Time to start arresting our elected officials who have sold us out and allow this horrific crime to occur in the first place.
If this is not where the line is drawn, then we are lost, and anarchy is just around the corner………. the end of Civilization, indeed!

Nah, max security federal prison, general population. They’ll take care of him, I’m sure.
SouthernDem on May 8, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Believe that all you want, you’re still wrong.
A big friggin’ wall that is maintained, an active, properly manned and equipped Border Patrol. Create an upgraded and updated visa/immigration system to watch for overstayers, as well as make life less miserable for people going through the process of immigrating here.
Properly equip and man internal enforcement system, that cooperates with local and state law enforcement. Enforcing laws that bar businesses from hiring illegal immigrants, focus on egregious corporate offenders and work your way down.
I’m pro-immigration, we should be seeking out the best and brightest and the hardest working, but they should come here on our terms. I think our terms are unfair now, the nightmare people have to go through is obscene, one of our fellow Morons is in the nightmare process of dealing with immigration to get his adopted daughters’ status corrected. I support efforts to make coming here easier and more fair. I have no respect for those that would be rewarded for violating our laws.
We’ve put men on the moon, launched a probe outside of our solar system, and we have enough nuclear firepower to end all life on this rock, don’t tell me it can’t be done.
doubleplusundead on May 8, 2008 at 8:32 PM
I don’t understand why people think illegals who have already broken the law to get here are equally disposed to respect the law in their “new” country. It’s counter-intuitive.
Spirit of 1776 on May 8, 2008 at 8:33 PM
just raping and impregnating the prepubescent girls Americans won’t.
jukin on May 8, 2008 at 8:40 PM
The list can go on and should. These are the bodies that we support, and their job is to do their best to prevent crimes like this, but they are derelict in their duties. Border Security should have kept him out, and if that failed, states should have passed legislation to keep him from finding work, or a place to live, and Congress should have enacted this same legislation on a federal level.
DFCtomm on May 8, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Thanks!
No, it certainly CAN be done with regards to securing the border, but it WON’T be done. And still, McCain has made the boldest promise of anyone so far to do it.
A well-maintained wall will keep out a lot of illegals, but certainly far from all. Like I said, so many do come here legally, but just over-stay. You’d need a wall 30,000 feet high all around the country to keep ‘em out.
But if you do want a fence/wall and a secure border, vote McCain. At least he’ll try. But again, no one from either side has done much so far over the decades. I just think, and mostly for political reasons, it won’t get done.
Isn’t there funding right now…in place…for a large portion of the wall? But it’s not getting done.
JetBoy on May 8, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Rack up another one for McCain Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform.
The Z visa would have made this guy and millions like him welcome forever.
The 40 year substitution of betrayal for the peoples will allowed his access to a ten year old child with horrible irreversible results.
McCain gets so angry about corruption? Lets see how un-corrupt he can make this.
Speakup on May 8, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Not for nothing, but why are so many people dumping this in McCain’s lap? He has nothing to do with it! Y’all are really sounding like the Kos Kids, shifting blame away from the person who actually committed the crime.

So in other words, don’t try? This is our nation, ours, not the illegal immigrants, not the Government’s, ours.
Swing and a miss, he’s backed off all that mean border enforcement talk, remember? Nice try though.
Yeah, our Federal government seems to think this is their nation. They need to be reminded that it is our nation, unfortunately.
doubleplusundead on May 8, 2008 at 9:02 PM
You have no idea how McCain might be linked to illegal immigration? I guess you still believe the stork delivers babies as well, or maybe Santa Claus? You are being purposely dense with this argument.
DFCtomm on May 8, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Look, border security and immigration won’t be easy or perfect, but it can be vastly improved. The government doesn’t want to do it, but that isn’t for the government to decide.

A criminal science professor in college once said to me, the death penalty is 100% effective on preventing repeat offenses for the criminal that it is used on.
Had we properly defended our border, sealed it, deported those who overstayed, ect, this would not have happened with this particular individual. Don’t hide his status: it needs to be the center of the story. Our government, both parties, is guilty of criminal negligence when things like this happen with illegals.
What happens if we have a giant terror bombing again, where the bombers are middle eastern students that were here illegally? Are you going to say their immigration status is irrelevant? That it couldn’t have been prevented if the goverment had done it’s F****NG JOB? Is this just another way to run interference since you know your candidate sucks complete a** on this issue?
austinnelly on May 8, 2008 at 9:15 PM
*sigh* I have no idea how McCain is even brought up in this post. And yes…how he’s somehow responsible for illegals here.
Sure, try. But face reality…and history. Who’s going to do it?

His immigration status is only a part of the story. Nevertheless, a part indeed not to be overlooked or spun into a divisive charge of RACISM against those who bring it up…

DfDeportation on May 8, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Smart professor. I couldn’t agree more.
Exactly…the government, and both sides of the aisle. It’s totally bogus and unfair to plop this in McCain’s lap tho.
A wall, and I’m all for one, will still only prevent a portion of illegals coming here. Even the Berlin Wall, with it’s levels, barbed wire, and armed surveillance, wasn’t ever 100% effective. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Thing is, what DO we do about not only new illegals coming in, but the millions here already? Mass deportation? Government officials rounding them up, sticking them on trains and busses out of here?
Like McCain says, it makes no sense to deport anyone until the borders are secure. And again, McCain says he’ll do that. But will Congress go along?

Even Michelle has been taking note of how duplicitous he sounds on this issue.
Tacitus on May 8, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Some lawyers, judges and politicians had better start watching their collectives backs soon. One day, I think people are going to get tired of this crap and come to the conclusion that putting this guy to death (and we should) is not going to change the “big picture”, but vigilantism against the aforementioned folks that pave the way for this sort of behavior is their option of choice. (What? that will bring…anarchy?…OK….and what do you call what we have RIGHT NOW?. People wont even obey STREET SIGNS anymore!) PS- if the authorities are reading this…NO, im not threatening to be a vigilante, but Oooooo…how i wish sometimes i had the balls to do it. Where’s Charles Bronson when ya need ‘em?
HunnyWaggin on May 8, 2008 at 9:39 PM
How is McCain for “open borders”?? I swear, McCain-derangement is alive and well.
And yes, I know Michelle has been very tough on McCain on this issue…I agree with 99% of what she says, except on McCain.
As for open borders, McCain isn’t the problem, he’s the solution. He’s very much for securing the borders. I mean, you don’t believe him?
JetBoy on May 8, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Frankly it makes a lot more sense to use the death penalty in a case like this than in many where it used.
Bank robbers and convenience store stick-up men won’t necessarily kill again.
Guys like this WILL do it again. And again. And again. There isn’t even a question.
I guess it depends on what the death penalty is for. If you think it actually deters criminals from being armed during robberies … fine. But if you want to use it to prevent future crimes from the same people: this is the case to use it in.

When it comes to questions of immigration my trust is small with any politician who talks but hasn’t actually done anything about it. Call me a cynic, but until I see some results I’m not gonna trust anybody, even mr. “straight talk express.” The fact that hes mired himself in this La Raza business doesn’t lend much credibility to his case either.
Tacitus on May 8, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Z Visas mean open borders? Hardly. There’s so many requirements to not only getting one, but what the government must do to secure the borders as well.
Something has to be done. The Z visa is only probationary. And Bush would probably sign it into law too.

You have a name problem Jetboy. You mention and or defend the wrong names on this issue. If you want to avoid a storm when discussing illegal immigration don’t speak of McCain or President Bush. Both those names raise the hackles of closed border supporters, but I guess you wonder what President Bush has to do with the illegal immigration issue as well.

HunnyWaggin on May 8, 2008 at 10:07 PM
No a Z-visa with a 24 hr time limitation on background check means that the worst of the problem with ill immigration, namely increased violent crime, is essentially unaddressed. It is an insincere show to address the concerns of the citizenry. McCain’s rhetoric on enforcement is duplicitous and not worth any consideration. He might be the best of the three on the issue, but that says little.
Spirit of 1776 on May 8, 2008 at 10:15 PM
If this guy turns out to have entered the country legally, would you still place the blame on our immigration system? I can think of plenty of individuals who have committed horrific acts after entering the country legally; some, perhaps, should have been caught before they hurt anyone, while others were just sick individuals. I’ve gotta go with JetBoy on this one.

Amen to that. The SOB needs killed just like every other sick ba$tard does that molests, rapes, or kills a child. Nothing pi$$es me off more.
Like my husband says, if anyone ever does anything to one of our children, they better hope the police get to them first or else they’ll think a cult got a hold of them.
Now here’s something that might cause a bit of controversy… I am pro-life, but I just don’t believe I would let my 10 year old baby girl maintain a pregnancy. No, I know I wouldn’t. But I am not judging this poor little girl’s parents. Just thinking aloud I guess.

For those who don’t believe in capital punishment, how about castration?
For those of you who say there is no way to ship 20 million illegals back to their homes I say how do you know if you don’t even try?
For those of you who believe John McCain would willingly do anything about illegals I have some beach property in NE Pa. I’d like to show you. Some of you may have missed McCain sticking his big toe back into the amnesty pool earlier this week with his speech to LaRaza, but a lot of us didn’t miss it.
If McCain were to be elected (a long shot by any measure) I’m sure his plan will be benign neglect. He just won’t do anything and hope that most of us have very short memories.

I have it straight from the mouths of the Democrats in congress that the undocumented are hard working family people. I suspect he heard Hillary talking about coming out of the shadows and he became confused and things got a little out of control. I trust that the Democratic congressmen and John McCain will go his bail and pay for his lawyer since they are so committed to his cause. I know they will at least dispatch the ACLU.

One of the biggest myths out there. Law enforcement has no legal obligation to do protect anyone. The books are full of case law regarding this.
Federal, state, county municipal … there are ‘no duty’ clauses everywhere … they aren’t even required to give you aid.
In my neck of the woods, while the fire department isn’t obligated to save your house, they might, out of the goodness of their hearts, prevent the spread of the fire to adjacent areas.
The irony is that the state has created ‘good samaritan’ laws out there that obligate you and I to render aid to others.

The Mexican Consulate has brought a Complaint before the UN World Court (the “Permanent Court of International Justice”), alleging violation of the civil rights of its citizen rapists by the US in discriminating against Mr. Juarez merely because he is a Mexican citizen.
Felipe Calderon called on “human rights activists everywhere to condemn this violation of Mr. Juarez’s civil rights. Child rape is one of the basic civil rights guaranteed by the UN Civil rights commission” he said, and “the United States, our future colony, refuses to recognize that child rape is an important part of our superior Mexican culture”.
John Plantation McCain said “Mr. Juarez is missing work at the factory farm of one of my big campaign contributors, so I have asked President Bush to pardon him so he can get back to work where he belongs. he will be whipped for missing work while he was fooling around with that girl.” I have also asked the federal prosecutor who jailed the Border Agents to prosecute the 10 year old girl as an attractive nuisance, because she served as a distraction for Mr Juarez from his real purpose here – working for my
briberscontributors”The Duke University Group of 88 has demanded that Mike Nifong prosecute the 10 year old girl for raping Mr. Juarez. Said Ms. Smith-Jones-Mbeke-Jimenez, Chairperson of the Duke University of Antiwestern Civilization Propaganda, “even if she didn’t rape him, she should be prosecuted because the Mexican savage culture is admirable and superior to anything in the evil US. And she added, “because we say so, since we Duke Professors are smarter than anyone we know.”
President Bush said “Mr. Juarez is doing the kind of raping that Americans won’t do. We have many 10 year old girls in the US, but not enough skilled US rapists. My proposed legislation will grant Mr. Juarez full citizenship upon payment of a fine of $50.00, payable to the Republican National Congressional Committee, which desperately needs the money. If Mr. Juarez doesn’t have enough money to pay the fine, he should go rob someone”.
Ted Kennedy said “If she had taken the ride in my car that I offered her, she would not have been home to be raped by this future Democrat voter. We offer him sanctuary in Massatwochits. Hic”
Al Gore blamed the rape on global warming. “This girl was obviously too hot” said Gore. Standing in front of a map of southeast Asia, Gore said “the girl’s family didn’t buy carbon rights I bought from a Chinese farmer who promised not to burn a million tons of coal this year, so there was a cyclone, which caused this rape.”

Do you think that he could have raped her if he had obeyed the law and stayed in his own country?

We unfortunately have more than enough home grown rapists and murderers , we don’t need to import more just so campaign contributor plantation owners can make more money for themselves.

Yeah, and since all bank robbers don’t kill someone, then we should just leave them alone.
They are all law breakers!

I wonder if those who ignore the immigration status of this scumbag would still feel the same way if it was their daughter that was raped? Would a billion dollars spent on a fence to keep him out worth protecting their 10 year old from ever experiencing this trauma?
Are they really so ignorant to believe that if this guy didn’t rape her someone else would have?

From the ultra-lib point of view, the only crime here is that the young mother does not have free state funded univesal health care.

Not necessarily…stronger border enforcement might have kept the victim on the same side of the border as the perp, too.

I have a 10-year-old daughter, so naturally I clicked on this story right away and watched the video. Disgusting. I really don’t care who the perp was or where he came from, this is a horrible crime. We’ve had plenty of well-publicized cases of child abduction, rape, and murder committed by good old American citizens. The only diference here is that the scumbag didn’t kill the girl after raping her, thank God.
I have this funny feeling that the victim here was one of the kids who lived with this guy. The reporter seemingly went out of her way not to tell us anything about her or her family. Makes me wonder. It’s natural to assume that she was a local white girl raped by the vicious alien scumbag, but that might not be the case. It might be incest, whch would explain the family allowing the girl to have the baby.
