'What Was He Doing Walking the Streets?'

What was this illegal alien killer doing walking the streets? Probably out campaigning for Democrats so he could stay here and kill more people. I bet the feds would take much more swift action if he promised to burn a Koran.

Appalled state pols are vowing to crack down on lax immigration policies after a Herald story yesterday uncovered that a suspect in a deadly Lawrence restaurant shooting is an accused illegal alien awaiting a deportation hearing in Texas - six months from now.

“What was he doing walking the streets?” an indignant state Rep. Brad Hill (R-Ipswich) demanded to know of Fernando Guerrero-Lara, 27. “If the federal government isn’t going to do their job, then I guess we’ll have to start doing it ourselves, state by state.”

The Herald reported yesterday that a fatal federal red-tape delay may have left Guerrero-Lara free to roam the country while awaiting a March 2011 deportation hearing.

Authorities allege Guerrero-Lara and a second man, Johan Saintclair, 30, walked into a packed birthday party at La Guira Restaurant on Broadway in Lawrence Monday and opened fire, killing mother of two Amarilis Roldan, 24, of Dorchester and Juan Suazo, 24, of Hyde Park.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has refused to say why Guerrero-Lara, a Dominican immigrant, was not in custody pending his preliminary March 7, 2011, deportation hearing.

State Rep. Jeffrey Perry (R-Sandwich), who is running for retiring U.S. Rep. William Delahunt’s seat, pushed this year to pass more stringent hurdles blocking illegal aliens from receiving state services. “This is a prime example of the impact illegal immigration has on our country,” Perry said. “It’s absolutely a matter of public safety.”

Public safety? Now there's a laugh. The government is far more concerned about the "rights" of these illegals than they are with public safety. And if you dare question their policy then you're a racist bigot.
