Our bad. Jose Madrigal, the illegal immigrant accused of raping a woman in Edmonds, Washington last week, hasn't in fact been kicked out of our country on 4 previous occasions, as we stated here the other day.
He's actually been deported an unbelievable NINE times, and at least some of those followed serious felony convictions:
"Madrigal's arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989. That's the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California.
He was deported a couple of times after that. Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco. Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August.
He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000. In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again. And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times."
Why didn't ICE file felony charges against Madrigal at some point to give him some serious prison time after they knew that he was continuing to come to America to cause this sort of mayhem? We don't (and may never) know, because "Immigration and Customs Enforcement has refused to comment on the case".
Yes, we imagine they wouldn't. Nice work, fellas.
Secure our borders first, Feds, then we'll entertain talk about possibly granting yet another amnesty to the millions of people who rudely jumped the line ahead of everyone else and are here illegally.
Why is that seemingly simple concept so difficult for our "betters" on Capitol Hill to grasp?

Even if we don't get our borders even reasonably secured, why on earth is it that we can't get it through our heads that we want to get rid of illegal aliens who have committed non-immigration-related crimes? My goodness, you would think that some of these guys are in a suicide pact.
