Are you goiong to debate that if Nicolas Guaman, the illegal alien who killed a man, had been deported back in 2007 when he was arrested for drving without a license that the man he killed would still be alive today?
This is where the issues lie. This is why illegal alien supporters who decry deportation have blood on their hands.

So who has blood on their hands when legal immigrants get drunk and kill people?

Who has blood on their hands when someone gets out of jail after completing their sentence goes out and gets drunk and kills someone?

Who has blood on their hands when a regular citizen with no record gets drunk and kills someone? FWIW, I am pointing out now that we could move these people to the Alaskan interior where they can't hurt anyone.

So you aren't going to answer his and my question?

This thread is about Guadman, a criminal illegal alien, charged with many crimes.

What I contend is that we like every other nation on the planet have immigration laws. The group that you contend is victimized are victims of their own decisions. These people were not here and then laws were passed after the fact to make them criminals. If that were the case I would be on your side 100%.
They opted to break our laws before they even entered the country. They opted to live as criminals knowing what they were doing was against our laws.
We didnt construct these laws in reaction to we dont like immigration. We allow more immigration than all others combined. That would indicate that this nation is decidedly pro-immigration. What our laws are meant to do is restrict who we allow to enter for many reasons one of which is to prevent our policies from damaging another nation.
Your correct I don't agree that illegal immigration causes illegals to drink and drive. What I contend is that every crime by an illegal is a crime and that an illegals lifestyle is conducive to committing more crimes. Had the illegal not chosen the path they did they would not be criminals.
Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.... This nations spends billions a year because of illegals. We are a victim as a nation. Every tax payer is a victim as individuals.
Canada has gun laws I don't agree with. Would I be the victim if I went to Canada with my guns and behaved as I do at home? At home I am allowed to carry and allowed to wear the gun under my jacket. If I do that in Canada I will be arrested.
The point is as a visitor or immigrant to Canada my personal beliefs are irrelevant to Canada's laws. I am no victim if I opt to disregard the laws of that land regardless of how unjust I feel they are. I have the choice not to go there.
By the way. Thank you for the civil approach to your post.

The problem with your scenario is that legal immigrants, like legal citizens, do not immediately have the pro-illegal faction (you) jumping to their defense and excusing their actions.

By your reasoning, they are never guilty of anything because some legal resident may have done the same thing. Not a viable argument on your part.

Can you show that being illegal does not lead to other crimes? That is what you are implying. And it is wrong.

Please cite the law that states we can move "these people" to the Alaskan interior. Would you like me to cite the law that says illegal aliens can be deported? Those who oppose immigration laws and fight to keep illegal aliens from being deported are responsible for this and many other deaths.
buddy5 is right. You won't directly answer any questions because you have absolutely nothing in this debate.

What is "clear" to you only exposes your own agenda of blaming the anti-illegal faction for every action taken to handle the illegals. Anyone who disputes your viewpoint just must be wrong, according to you and is just trying to muddy the waters. Look in a mirror much?

This is such a sad story!

One of my former co-worjers happens to be Matt's cousin and the whole family is devastated.

This is such BS!

What question? The one that I said was not in dispute?

OK, so now connect the dots. You made the "gateway" comment, back it up. How did all those non-illegals manage to jump straight to DUI without going through the "gateway" crime?
