United States District Court Judge James M. Simmonds on Sunday found Coy T. Brown guilty of assaulting Mexican immigrant Juan Mauricio Gonzalez with a fire arm and sentenced him to five years in prison, Notimex reported.

After a two-year investigation spearheaded by the Foreign Relations Secretariat, Brown was found guilty of firing a pistol on April 10, 2000, at Gonzalez, a native of Tasquillo, Hidalgo.

In addition to his prison sentence, Brown, a Texas rancher, was denied bail and assessed a 10,000-dollar fine, the SRE said.

The SRE applauded the judge's decision and said it would intensify its efforts to fight for Mexican immigrant rights abroad.

Thanks, skeeter. I know that a lot of disruptors to this debate claim they only want the truth to come out (and then start laying the B.S. thick and steamin'), but I genuinely wanted to figure out what was going on - I still don't have an answer why the website regarding Tancredo's group pulled the link to AP (or if there is even any veracity to that claim), but none of the other stuff really held up to closer scrutiny.

I agree with you completely. Until the American people get it, we are going to give up more and more of our freedoms, security, jobs, etc.

Please supply a link for this!

I see the link is from a pro-illegal immigration site.

I think Tancredo was pressured by Washington or his party or some Colorado groups to remove the link.

I know he was chastised by the switchboards and/or for the deluge of emails that came in when he first put up his Immigration Reform Caucus site. He was told to remove links to stop the flood of responses he was receiving.

He was told to remove links to stop the flood of responses he was receiving.

He still has VDARE up and other groups, so that's kind of interesting. I think I might try to get an answer again.

Here's a list of the groups he has links to:

Center for Immigration Studies
Sierrans for U.S. Population Stabilization (SUSPS)
Numbers USA
C.C.I.R.
Project USA
V.D.A.R.E.
Federation for American Immigration Reform
Population Environment Balance
U.S.B.C.
Negative Population Growth
Carrying Capacity Network
Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform
Desert Invasion - U.S.

That's a rather interesting smorgasbord of interest groups.

The sentence should have been less. The same for the crime if committed in Mexico.

You're a certified fool so who cares what you have to say about immigration.
