(CNSNews.com) – In emotional testimony before a House joint panel this week, a Virginia man recalled the death of his teenage daughter in 2007 – a death caused by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk and who had been arrested twice before the crime, but was not deported.
“Two years ago this week, my 16-year-old daughter, Tessa, and her best friend Allison were killed as they were sitting at in intersection waiting for a red light to change,” Ray Tranchant said, as friends placed a photograph of Tessa Tranchant on an easel behind him.
Since his daughter’s death, Tranchant, a professor from VIrginia Beach, has become an advocate for the enforcement of immigration law.
On Thursday, as Tranchant applauded local law enforcement in Virginia for its increased efforts to work with federal immigration authorities since his daughter’s death, he referred to individuals listed on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s database of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds as “banditos.”
That comment drew a rebuff from Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
“Mr. Tranchant, can I share with you as the father of two daughters, I thank you for bringing your testimony here, but I suggest to you that if we refer to people as banditos, as you referred to them in your testimony, it does not help to solve the problem,” Gutierrez said.

Congressmen attacking Americans: doing a job that illegals WILL do, but want to do anyway.
“Sorry congressmen — I meant to say wetback.”
Gutierrez is a Moron.
Well it worked for Frito-Lay.
Mr. Tranchant should have approached Gutierrez and ...
I guess the father shouldn’t have held back by calling them “banditos,” but used the various colorful expletives that he self-deleted instead.
It's their own fault for not fighting to stop illegals from ruining their reputations as well.
You are far kinder than I could have been. You must have been showing great restraint, because calling that jerk a moron is an understatement to the nth degree.
Just deport the sombritches as soon as they apply for a job here and the problem is solved. No one has use any names out of frustration and loss. My prayers to the families of the girls. How horrible they must feel right now.
He would even have his legitimate parental heritage brought into question and insinuations that he is the issuance of inter-species breeding by his father and Canis Familiaris (dog).
Yes...”banditos.” Immigrants of our own culture from places like Ireland, Canada and New Zealand can speak English and don’t have problems with our social customs. So they aren’t as expensive to assimilate as immigrants from countries of other cultures.
It’s as simple as that.
1. The name of the congressman...Luis Gutierrez
2. The condition of the daughters of the congressman....alive
3. The evil done by an illegal alien to the congressman...nothing...yet
Many times it has to happen to the individual for conversion...
Hopefully it wont have to come to that with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
This is the Dad of one of the two young girls killed in VA Beach...
That guy was waaaaaaaaaay out of line...
Goot is a sack of horse flop and Ramirez is a lying sack of horse flop. If Ramirez was truly being targeted and being discriminated against because of his ethnicity—— if law enforcement and immigration officials were that zealous-—— would not reason serve that we would have several million less illegals here today?
The population of the planet is climbing steadily towards 8-billion and they all can’t live here. In certain situations, I do empathize, but illegal, means not legal. Do things the right way and do not thumb your noses at our sovereignty. In a nutshell, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
Gutierrez as a mere socialist democrat your automatically on my bandito list you sorry sad sack POS polidiot !
Okay maybe they aren’t banditos.
They are border burglars. Common criminals upon entering our country illegally.
I need to dig out Luis Guitierez’s address so I can send him a little note.
It’ll start out approximately like this:
“Dear Bandito Guitierrez:
F(expletive deleted) you and the burro you rode in on!
Sincerely,
Redbob”
