Illegal immigration is not to blame for fatality, Patrick says
Boston Globe - ^ | August 27, 2011 | Maria Sacchetti

Governor Deval Patrick said yesterday that he shared the community’s outrage over the death of a 23-year-old Milford man struck last week by an alleged drunk driver who was also an illegal immigrant. But the governor urged people not to blame the death on illegal immigration.Matthew Denice was on his motorcycle last Saturday when he was hit in Milford and dragged for a quarter-mile. Nicolas Guaman, a 34-year-old immigrant from Ecuador, has pleaded not guilty to charges that include vehicular homicide while under the influence.

“It’s a terrible, terrible tragedy,’’ Patrick said at the end of a news conference about preparations for Hurricane Irene. But, he added, “Illegal immigration didn’t kill this person. A drunk driver killed this person, and we have laws about that. And I expect the book to be thrown at this person.’’

“I thought we had laws about ILLEGAL immigration as well.”

You know, my father came from Mass, but they re-elected this dope.

He’s right and you’re right. Illegal immigration did’t cause this, it was the failure to enforce the law that caused this.

This man was a one man wrecking crew. He assaulted a cop and a fireman he was still free to wreck mayhem.

Now we’ll get to feed him, house him and clothe him for the next several years.

Then he’ll probably get amnesty.

GREAT JOB!

When politicians and journalists tell foreigners they can ignore our laws, politicians and journalists should bear personal responsibility when their poor decisions result in the death of American citizens. It would be a huge benefit for our economy if we brought back our ground forces from Europe and stationed them on our southern border.

Idiot governor, we have laws against drunken driving, we also have laws against breaking into the damn country. Damn Yankee fool, oh damn, we have another one like him in Texas. Funny how you have a special class of people that only selected laws apply to.

Patrick is full of horseshit. Illegal entry facilitated the crime. Had it not occurred, the crime would not have occurred. If you rob a bank and someone gets killed by your accomplices, you can and usually are charged with murder even though you didn’t commit it. Liberals will kill you to see their ideals and voters protected.

Good question to ask George W. Perry , what makes a certain type of person above the law. How does a person that is a known illegal get rewarded with a subsidize education.

So Deval, illegal immigration had nothing to do with this, but the Tea Party and Sarah Palin had everything to do with the Arizona shootings. Got it.

And yet Deval will blame a gun for the death of someone and not the person holding the gun. Strange how his logic (or lack of it) changes.

Hey, Deval, we also have laws against illegal immigration, so why don’t you enforce them!

“I expect the book to be thrown at this person.’’

But only part of the book. The part Deval thinks should be enforced.
