Secured Borders with Mexico Would Have Prevented Another Death
The nanny state makes us wear seat belts, it won't allow our children to carry aspirins to school, it makes criminals of too many people with the .08 blood-alcohol standard, but yet it stands by and does nothing about a menace that kills scores of Americans, criminal illegal aliens.
Where are the do-gooders to protect us from this threat? Nowhere to be found. By the way, go ahead and count the deaths caused by illegal immigrants at this site. If murderous criminal illegal aliens were saccharin or red dye or lead paint, we might have a chance of something being done....
Here is another example of a criminal alien who was deported and returned across our unguarded border to commit a murder.
On Tuesday, a jaywalker shot him in the face and killed him.
"He's a hard charger. Even though he had a serious illness, he came back to work the streets as soon as he could," Sgt. Joel Tranter said.
"This will affect the officer's family and the Phoenix Police Department forever. . . . It will always be a loss."
The gunman, an illegal immigrant who had been deported last year, fled after shooting Erfle, commandeering a stopped car at gunpoint and ordering the motorist to drive. About an hour later, a Phoenix police tactical team surrounded Erik Jovani Martinez, 22, on a west Phoenix street and shot him dead as he pointed a gun at the hostage. The hostage was not hurt.
"The city of Phoenix, the citizens of Phoenix have lost another hero in our community," Assistant Phoenix Police Chief Michael Frazier said, announcing Erfle's death. "He died a hero doing the job he loved doing most."
Erfle was the second Phoenix police officer killed since July and the third Valley officer killed this year. He was married with two children and had a large extended family.
"This is another tragic day for the citizens of Phoenix. We have lost one of our family," said Dave Siebert, the city's vice mayor. "This has happened way too many times in the city of Phoenix. . . . He was one of our finest."
Martinez, who had three children, was a gang member with a history of drug abuse, police say. He was convicted of theft in 2004 and served a short stint in prison in 2006. Immigration officials confirmed he had been deported in March 2006. Read more....
