Hector Hernandez was sentenced Tuesday to 33 months in federal prison for the shooting at an off-duty Raleigh police officer in 2007.

Hernandez, an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported, was arrested July 19, 2007, after a shooting at El Deso nightclub at 7429 Capital Blvd. in Raleigh. The officer, who was working security for the club, observed shots being fired from a white van. When he pursued and pulled the van over, Hernandez fired towards the officer.

A handgun was recovered from the van, and Hernandez was arrested.

tbeark...The United States should adopt Mexico's immigration policy. Think what a wonderful country we could become again. But, alas...I guess I am dreaming. To think that our elected politicians would want to keep illegals or terrorist's out of this country.

"WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE PEOPLE....Stop shopping at stores that hire illegals, VOTE for any canidate that we enforce the current laws on the books. report illegals to the ICE we have a voice lets start to use it!" - LambeauSouth

...good luck reporting ANYTHING to ICE. I got a Social Security Statement for a "Roberto Mendoza" (at my address) and I called SSA to find out why. They couldn't help me and told me to report it to ICE if I thought the guy might be an illegal immigrant and using someone's identity. I tried every which way possible to contact ICE and any other related departments, only to get put on hold and hear automated messages for a couple HOURS before finally getting cut off with no response and no contact with any real person. ICE is a joke! and so is this guy's sentence... ONLY 33 months for that!?!?!?

*There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools *All ballots will be in this nation's language *All government business will be conducted in our language *Non-citizens will NOT have the right to vote *Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office *Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care. Any burden will be deported *Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least 40,000 times the daily minimum wage *If foreigners come here and buy land, options will be restricted. Certain parcels are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country *Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a foreign flag, no political organizing. This will lead to deportation *If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted & when caught, sent jail until your deportation can be arranged. All assets will be taken from you

Who's laws are these? MEXICO's!!!

What is an original American? iamforjustice

That argument is specious at best.

God bless who? I'm pretty sure the God followed by most of those who post on this board is not a huge fan of razor wire and armed guards. But, I suppose maintaining our high standard of living is the most important thing...
