"It doesn't matter where you're from," said Lucy Nashed, spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry. "If you commit a despicable crime like this in Texas, you are subject to our state laws, including a fair trial by jury and the ultimate penalty."
Makes sense to me.

[trlcavscout]

Apparently those meanies in Texas don't like the black panthers either?

Try 20. He killed the officer in 94. But, yeah...even 10 years is far too long. F**k him.

[splogan]

Maybe the rest of the country could take a note from this

[Kraven251]

Reality...how does this endanger Americans in foreign countries?

You break the laws there, you are subject to their rules. I'm a United States' citizen, is not a defense if you commit a crime. I mean hell look at one of the more recent examples Amanda Knox.

That's why the media no longer accepts that description.

http://ideas.time.com/2012/09/21/immigration-debate-the-problem-with-the-word-illegal/

But describing an immigrant as illegal is legally inaccurate. Being in the U.S. without proper documents is a civil offense, not a criminal one. (Underscoring this reality, Justice Anthony Kennedy (http://topics.time.com/anthony-kennedy/)wrote (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-182b5e1.pdf)for the majority opinion on SB 1070, Arizona’s controversial immigration law: “As a general rule, it is not a crime for a movable alien to remain in the United States.”) In a country that believes in due process of the law, calling an immigrant illegal is akin to calling a defendant awaiting trial a criminal. The term illegal is also imprecise. For many undocumented people — there are 11 million in the U.S. and most have immediate family members who are American citizens, either by birth or naturalization — their immigration status is fluid and, depending on individual circumstances, can be adjusted.

When journalists, who are supposed to seek neutrality and fairness, use the term, they are politicizing an already political issue. (How can using illegal immigrant be considered neutral, for example, when Republican strategist Frank Luntz encouraged using the term in a 2005 memo (http://images.dailykos.com/images/user/3/Luntz_frames_immigration.pdf) to tie undocumented people with criminality?) And the term dehumanizes and marginalizes the people it seeks to describe. Think of it this way: In what other contexts do we call someone illegal? If someone is driving a car at 14, we say “underage driver,” not “illegal driver.” If someone is driving under the influence, we call them a “drunk driver,” not an “illegal driver.” Put another way: How would you feel if you — or your family members or friends — were referred to as illegal?
I call shenanigans for the whole rationalization. They aren't supposed to be here. We should have enforceable borders (yet another failure for one of the few Constitutional obligations of the federal govt.). They have invaded our country illegally, so "illegals" works quite well, thank you.

...and these liberals aren't fooling very many of us;
‘Undocumented workers’ are still ‘illegal immigrants’ to most Americans (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/24/undocumented-workers-are-still-illegal-immigrants-/?page=all)

[mcjhr]

I'll call them whatever the hell I want. They don't like it they can take their fluid immigration status back to where ever the hell they are from and stay there.

Yup, this!

Exactly. They're worried about retribution or resentment in Mexico because we executed one of their own? What about the Marine who tried to legally take his shotgun to Mexico and spent months in a Mexican jail? Mexico has some serious issues, why else is a vast number of their population trying to get out of that sh*thole? Hopefully cases like this will send a message, kill one of us, you could face death yourself, regardless of where you come from.
