The parents of a murdered high school football star urged passage Tuesday of a law requiring Los Angeles police to hunt down gang members who are illegal immigrants.
Such a law would alter a 30-year policy under which officers do not seek to enforce immigration laws.
"My son was murdered by someone that was not in the country legally," Jamiel Shaw told the City Council.
"We want him back but we can't get him back," Shaw said, surrounded by his family and choking back tears. "And it hurts every day."
"We're not living in Beirut or Iraq. We're living in a nice neighborhood. He thought he was safe," Shaw said.
Jamiel Shaw Jr., 17, was shot to death on March 2 as he walked home in South Los Angeles.
An alleged gang member, Pedro Espinoza, 19, has been charged with Jamiel Jr.'s murder and also is under investigation by federal immigration officials to determine whether he is an illegal immigrant.
The elder Shaw and his wife, Anita, urged the council to pass "Jamiel's Law," which has been proposed by a mayoral candidate but has not yet reached the council.
It would require police to work with federal officials "to identify, arrest, prosecute, imprison and deport illegal aliens who are, or appear to be, gang members or affiliate gang members," whether or not they had committed any other crimes.

Good for them! I hope it finds a way to passage.
Who will wash the cars in California if police start sending the illegals back?
How soon will the enemedia slap the sign, “RACIST,” on them?
Don’t gangs composed of legal immigrants and American Citizens deserve to be hunt down as well?
One step at a time. ;-)
Where’s Geraldo calling these parents bigoted klan members?!
I guess Geraldo’s new book: His-PANIC needs a new chapter- how to love the illegal immigrant gang member that murdered your son.
With estimates of 100K gangmembers in L.A., it would take martial law, curfews and the National Guard to clean up the mess in the city of Angels.
Our “elected elites” are compromising our security for the sake of their positions and power. The trouble is that too many of our citizens do not take the time and effort to find out where these politicians stand on the issues. They just keep voting the same bastards in. I truly hope that these brave parents can knock some sense into these political blood suckers.
They never deport them:
Illegal immigrant arrested for firing AK-47 (AZ)
Apr. 6, 2008 06:26 PM
Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies arrested an illegal immigrant after he was suspected of firing an AK-47 while roaming the streets of East Mesa, officials said.
Abraham Duarte, 20, was first seen in an unincorporated area east of Apache Trail and Ellsworth Road, said Deputy Doug Matteson, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Officers believe the man fired the gun near residential structures, though his shots were thought to be random, Matteson said. advertisement
SWAT team members emptied two-thirds of an apartment complex just south of 95th Street and Apache Trail in search of the suspect.

He was arrested three times in 2007 in Maricopa County.
Sounds good to me. Where do I enlist? Can I get my weapon of choice? M249 sounds good to me. My son used it effectively in Iraq (250 round clip-boxes - COOL).
An old M79 grenade launcher isn’t bad at all for clearing out urban gangs, buildings, and Low-riders.
No, you're living in Nuevo Aztlan.
So!!!!
More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says
When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.
Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

New Orleans wanted for Murder

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.
Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.
Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. See also here and here
However the number of illegals on death row is far lower.
