Illegal Insanity

Despite the nationwide uproar over Arizona's decision to mirror Federal law in it's own state statutes concerning illegal immigration, President Obama and the Federal Government appear to remain content with merely criticizing U.S. citizens, rather than actually doing anything about controlling our borders or the influx of illegals who continue to flood not the southwest U.S.  Consider this:  U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has been criticizing the Arizona immigration law for several days already, and has indicated that he's considering a Federal lawsuit against the State of Arizona in an attempt to block the enactment of said law.  Yet it's recently been reported that Mr. Holder had not even read it yet!  It would seem our leaders in Washington have developed quite a habit of making bold statements and predictions concerning legislation they have not read.

Phoenix, Arizona has the second highest kidnapping rate in the world, only behind Mexico City.  Officials acknowledge that the kidnappings are driven primarily by the Mexican drug cartels which operate along our borders and extend their influence into the United States.  Shootings, murders, rapes, burglaries, and other crimes continue to be committed by illegals, who are often only charged with their various U.S. crimes, go to court (if they just don't just change their names and disappear), serve their sentences (if there is one), and then are turned loose back into U.S. society to commit more crimes with no regard for the fact that these people do not belong here in the first place.

Case in point:  In Albuquerque, New Mexico, 20 year old Juan Gonzales, who is a known illegal, has been living in what has until recently been a declared "sanctuary city".  In other words, during the course of whatever legal action took place concerning crimes he might commit against the citizens of Albuquerque and the State of New Mexico, Gonzales' citizenship status could not be made an issue.

And Gonzales has had plenty of contact with the New Mexico's criminal justice system.  In 2005, when Gonzales was 15, he was arrested as a minor for molesting two young girls at a birthday party.  Charges against Gonzales were dropped when authorities determined he was "incompetent" to stand trial, and he was released into the custody of his parents.

Again in 2008, there was another molestation case against Gonzales, but Bernallilo County, New Mexico, failed to file charges, and the case was dropped.  Both times, the question of his citizenship status was not brought up.

So here we are in 2010, and once again Juan Gonzales is in jail for raping a child, after raping a 6 year old girl at the gymnasium where his mother worked.  When arrested, Gonzales admitted he "liked to touch children".  He is currently sitting jail, on a $200,000 dollar cash-only bond.

Who knows how many instances of predatory sexual behavior Juan Gonzalez committed in New Mexico that have gone unreported.  It's a well known fact that crimes such as this are often never brought to light, due to the children being scared to tell anyone.

All U.S. citizens who care about our nation should outraged by the attitude some have shown towards this matter.  In an attempt to take the spotlight off of Gonzales' citizenship status, some have gone so far as to declare "This could have been done by a white man", or that the gym should have had better security!  Fact is, in this particular case, the crime WAS committed by an illegal alien with a lengthy history of committing these types of crimes, and there should be a reasonable expectation that our children should be safe in the play area of a physical fitness center.  Furthermore, if the authorities in New Mexico had been allowed to do their job, rather than be bound by a ridiculous "Sanctuary City" declaration by a former mayor of Albuquerque, Juan Gonzales would have been deported and would not have been in the position to commit all of these hideous acts against children here in the U.S.

This attention to this case by the mainstream media in the U.S., and in New Mexico, has been pretty low-key.  In recent articles in local New Mexico newspapers, and in some television news stories, Gonzales history of committing similar crimes around the Albuquerque area has not been mentioned at all.  Apparently, the media is too busy with reporting stories critical of Arizona's attempt to curtail cases such as this in their state to really dig in and report the repeated nature of Gonzales' crimes, or perhaps they are doing their best to simply downplay the story, because if the public was able to put "two and two" together and see that these crimes against our children needn't have happened if current Federal immigration law were enforced, the citizens of New Mexico might rise up and demand that their State Legislature pass a law similar to that in Arizona.

The United States has enough on it's plate dealing with the crimes committed by citizens.  Being forced to deal with the criminals and mental defectives of other nations, who have no business being in the U.S. preying upon our citizens, especially or children, is a travesty.  The Federal Government, the State of New Mexico, the officials in the Albuquerque area who allowed Gonzales to get away with his past crimes, and Juan Gonzales' parents, who knew their son was here illegally and had committed similar crimes against children in the past, are all accomplices to the recent rape of a 6 year old girl by a man who was taught by his parents to have no regard for U.S. law from the time he was a young boy.

Has anyone checked the citizenship status of Juan Gonzales' parents?

Fully 60 percent of U.S. citizens, nationwide, support Arizona's right to control it's illegal alien problem.  This is roughly the same percentage of citizens who were AGAINST the Federal Government takeover of health care which was passed earlier this year.  It would appear that our so-called "leadership" in Washington, namely President Obama and the current leadership in Congress, wish to remain aloof to the demands of the citizens of the United States.  The people need to continue to put the pressure on their representatives at every level, and get laws changed at the state and local level, in order to protect us from the predatory practices of people who should not be in the United States in the first place.  It's been more than apparent for over 20 years that the Federal government has been completely incompetent in the handling of the matter.

If our representatives refuse to act, we should throw them out of office at the earliest possibility, and elect leaders who will stand up for the right of U.S. citizens to be safe from the predatory actions of people who show no regard for U.S. law to begin with.
