The last of six illegal immigrants charged with picking up a 13-year-old girl at a dollar store, then sexually assaulting her multiple times pleaded guilty. Vincente Rodriguez, 26, a Mexican citizen, admitted through a Spanish-speaking translator that he fondled the victim during the August 2006 abduction...... 19-year-old Edson Leontes was sentenced to state prison after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault. Both were farm laborers at Brookside Nursery, one of three locations where prosecutors believe the underage victim was assaulted. The nursery owner reported that both men signed working papers claiming they are in the country legally. Rodriguez's attorney said an immigration detainer was placed on Rodriguez by ICE, in addition to the five other men charged. "I explained to him the exposure to deportation at the end of his prison sentence," said Rodriguez's attorney Louis Shapiro.

Now where is that usual poster who tells us that we’re picking on poor migrants raising our food?

Yeah---and I also like the one about "they endangered their lives crossing the border."

According to Bush and Chertoff a few raped girls is the unfortunate but necessary cost of cheap lettuce.

And the jailhouse Mexican Mafia benefits from a new recruit for the next 8 years.

The cycle continues...

The illegal who fondled her breasts gets 8 years, but the one who raped her gets 5?

Don't forget the one about how stuff like this is just "inevitable," and that we all simply need to "get used to it, is all."

I hope the girl’s family sue the owner of the nursery..

I thought child rape carried heavier sentences..
