SAN DIEGO — One of five people charged in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent admitted Tuesday that the motivation behind the ambush killing was to rob the agent's night vision equipment.

Emilio Gonzales pleaded guilty to murder of a federal officer in court and faces life in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 17.

I agree. Disgusting behavior. Lock ‘em up and throw away the key, or worse.

I know a plan like this will cause issues with people worried about their privacy and the government tracking citizens. That is a valid concern.

I would submit that it would be equally effective to require employers to run their employees through e-verify instead.

Obviously deportation by itself doesn't scare illegals enough to keep their noses clean. The only way to stop the flood of illegals is when you take away access to employment. That is going to take a huge paradigm shift between the industries that employ these people and the politicians that allow this situation to continue.

None of you have answered the question. Answer it.:

What have other candidates stated that they would do?

What has Sarah stated she would do?

What is Backmann’s plan?

What did Reagan do?

President Ronald Reagan was the first president in history to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. On November 6, 1986, he signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, [PUB L 99-603]. In so doing, he set a precedent whereby the United States would not seek to deport illegal aliens, but to reward their lawbreaking by granting them full citizenship.

What have they done? Promised?
Nothing.
They can't.
They won't.
Aint gonna happen.

Perry has done the best he can in a state full of Mexicans and Rats fighting him every step of the way.

We have to run a man who can beat Obama.
We cannot afford another four years of the Marxist/Muslim usurper!

I am with you my lady..bred, born & raised on a farm in Texas.Considering some of the many anti-perry folks on here,it bothers me deeply.Look at whom we have in the whitehouse now and who we have had in the past. My question to the people on here is “what could be worse?”. As you know in Texas we don't get pissed off...we just get even. What Obammy has done to Texas & Texans, I think Perry will return in spades if he does in fact win. I like his style...high speed...low drag and farmers common sense. Besides that, if we win the Senate,we'll still have to deal with the Rinos there as well. Keep your head high sister you are right.

Thank you. Well said.

Answer the question. What have the other candidates done, said, promised to do about illegal immigrants- with the exception of West?
Nothing- and they ain’t gonna.
Why pick on Perry about this?
He’s done pretty well considering he has a state full of Mexicans and Rats fighting him every step of the way.

He contends that this is the duty of the govrnment to protect the borders. If he were president, he WOULD protect them.
