Newt proposes citizenship test in felony arrests
Written by Sam on August 13th, 2007Citing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant in the execution-style Newark murders, Newt Gingrich yesterday called for emergency legislation requiring anyone arrested for a felony to immediately have their legal status checked.“Four young people, working hard, studying, doing the right things, three of them were killed, all four were shot in an execution style by somebody who should not have been in America in the first place,” the former speaker of the House said in a speech in Ames, Iowa.
Gingrich noted that Peruvian immigrant Jose Carranza had been arrested twice before the slayings, adding, “Twice, he was released back on the streets.”
This is simply astounding. I had no idea the killer of those kids in Newark was an illegal alien until I saw this article. We keep hearing about this. A few months ago it was the illegal in Virginia Beach that killed two girls in a drunk driving accident. In both incidents these guys had prior arrests. How long are people going to put up with this? What is it going to take? How many American citizens have to lose their lives at the hands of illegal foreign criminals that the courts have just played ping-pong with before people in this country will force the government to fix this?
The American populace is still asleep at the wheel.

With both parties courting the illegal vote, what can you do except kick them to the curb.
We have to challenge incumbents during the primary until either they lose or get the message.

Most cities here in Southern California are sanctuary cities…which means that the city has either passed ordinances or the mayor has declared that the city will not inquire on immigration status…including the police. There was one exception in Escondido where the council bravely passed an ordinance fining landlords for renting to illegals. Well, of course a judge put implementation immediately on hold.
The amount of crime committed by illegal felons is astounding in California. 1 in 4 inmates in the state prison system are not citizens of this country.
