One of the problems we have currently is a judge will give an illegal alien 30 days to leave the country. And nobody follows up. And most illegal aliens who break the law will get bailed out, move and change their alias.

What we should probably be asking is why did the dept. of Justice decide until 2012 to start removing illegal aliens? Is it because it is a election year?

Point blank it happened. So what should be do, create more government to make sure they leave? Or fund a altruistic, ninja, Muslim, pot smoking, abortion loving, fighting force?

Well you know "they" love a crisis.

How about if we have a Mexican standoff?

Illegal immigrant gets minimum sentence for molesting girl, 5 By Alex Wood Journal Inquirer

An 18-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador was sentenced Friday to the minimum prison term permitted by his plea agreement for molesting a 5-year-old girl, despite claims by the girl’s mother that his associates have repeatedly tried to harm or intimidate her.

Edenilson Hernandez, a diminutive teenager with thick black hair, was sentenced in Hartford Superior Court to 3½ years in prison followed by 3½ years’ special parole for fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child. Under his plea bargain, entered in January, Hernandez could have faced up to five years in prison followed by five years’ special parole.

Because Hernandez is facing deportation, Judge Joan K. Alexander explained, he will be required to serve his sentence “day-for-day.” As a result, she said, the 3½-year prison term is “basically equivalent” to a five-year sentence for a U.S. citizen.

Hernandez, who has listed addresses on Prospect Street and Burnside Avenue in East Hartford, had originally been charged with first-degree sexual assault, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison when the victim is under age 10. The prosecution’s version of the facts, recited by prosecutor Robin Krawczyk when Hernandez entered the plea bargain in January, would support a conviction of that charge.

But Hernandez disputes those claims. He entered the plea deal under the Alford doctrine, meaning that he admits only that the prosecution’s evidence, if believed by a jury, is sufficient for a conviction at trial.

The prosecutor said at Friday’s sentencing that the abuse didn’t go on for an extended period because the girl reported it “fairly quickly.” She said the girl’s mother acted appropriately and got her into counseling.

The prosecutor also said she appreciates that Hernandez spared the girl having to testify at a trial by entering the plea bargain. But she expressed concern that he denies any sexual misconduct.

Hernandez was released on a $100,000 bond four days after his Aug. 1 arrest. But he has been jailed since early November, when the judge increased the bond to $250,000 on the basis of the intimidation claims made by the girl’s mother.

In a letter read aloud to the judge by court Victim Advocate Adriana Venegas, the mother described a series of incidents of harassment or intimidation:

• She said she was approached by a group of people who grabbed her arms, causing pain, and threatened to kill her and her children because she was pursuing the criminal charge against Hernandez.

• In another incident, she said, people were banging on her window at 2 a.m., trying to get into her home.

• She said a third incident occurred Dec. 10, when Hernandez’s uncle was arrested “for stealing and destroying my car.” She said this caused her financial problems because she was unable to work.

A January check of online state court records showed that the uncle was charged with third-degree larceny in the incident. But a check of pending cases and convictions on the same state website Friday showed no record of the case, apparently indicating that it has ended without a conviction.

• On March 6, the woman said, as she was driving her children to school, she found that her brakes weren’t working. She said a mechanic told her the brakes had been cut off in a way that indicated that someone was trying to harm her.

“Mr. Hernandez’s family and friends are intending to cause my family harm,” she said in the letter. “Today, our family is in fear.”

The prosecutor said the mother’s allegations need to be investigated through proper channels.

Hartford Public Defender R. Bruce Lorenzen said he had witnesses who were willing to criticize the mother but not the 5-year-old. He didn’t detail that criticism but said the mother had been involved in a relationship with a relative of Hernandez’s. The defense lawyer described their subsequent conflicts as “not Mr. Hernandez’s fight.”

Well there's a lot of things I could try to explain to you too. Should I not try because I would have to give an explanation?

[BrownIndian]

we need to make a rule that all criminally convicted illegal immigrants who get arrested should be forcibly volunteered to donate one of their kidneys or eyes. considering we foot the medical bill anyway i think this will be a good program.

I am not trying to sound to much of an ass here but are you kidding me? Maybe the point is this illegal got the bare minimum sentence. Why is he not deported? Why was he given such a low sentence?

He needs to be deported as well.
