Ohio murder case brings Obama's immigration policy to the fore
2015-07-30
WASHINGTON, D.C -- The case of Juan Emmanuel Razo, an immigrant accused of murder and attempted rape Monday near Cleveland, could magnify the national debate over illegal immigration. The tragic news from Lake County, nearly 30 miles from Cleveland, comes just as Republican presidential candidates prepare to gather in Cleveland Aug. 6 to debate immigration and other issues of the day.

Details of Monday's events are still emerging, but police say that Razo, 35, of Painesville, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, fatally shot a woman at her home, wounded another woman nearby by shooting her in the arm, and attempted to rape a 14-year-old girl.

Police, who arrested Razo Monday and held him on a charge of attempted murder while they investigated the events, said that officers met him at least once before. It was on July 7, in response to a report of suspicious activity, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office. Chief Deputy Frank Leonbruno said Razo was "in an area he had no permission to be on." He said deputies called the "border patrol," who said there was no reason to hold Razo.

In a linked article: Veronica Dahlberg, the executive director of HOLA, a Hispanic advocacy group, released a statement Wednesday. Dahlberg decried the public outcry that followed word of Razo's initial encounter with local sheriff's deputies citing that Razo has been "standing in line" for his green card for more than 12 years and that he suffers from a serious mental illness.

"This is not an issue about immigration," Dahlberg said. "Rather, it is about the problems associated with adults with mental illness."
When all else fails, change the subject
Why should we allow into our country someone known to be criminally insane? Let his own country keep him in a locked ward of their own insane asylum -- we haven't enough beds for ours, who end up in prison instead.

Or as Jeb Bush would call it..."an act of love".

#1  There is no immigration policy in the Obama administration other than open the flood gates.
