Oh I've seen that video before. The first comment by Geraldo wins the whole argument. O'Reilly ignores crimes that don't fit his "culture war" agenda.

I dunno.

I mean if this was Law and Order Jack McCoy would totally be trying the people who didn't deport that guy as being culpable for the deaths.

They're lucky the family didn't sue the state.

Wasn't Geraldo's point that it's wrong to take one drunk driving fatality that happened to be committed by an illegal alien and turn it into a huge fearmongering attack?

And I haven't researched the specific incident but apparently from what they said he hadn't been deported because they don't investigate people who aren't accused of felonies or misdemeanors involving moral turpitude.  Geraldo is claiming no one broke the law by not deporting him and I hear he's a lawyer (not that that is conclusive). 

And I think it's unlikely that Law & Order would take that tack.  Usually they only use illegality as leverage to get the illegals to cooperate or some such thing.

No. I mean they would claim the people who could of deported him were complcit for not deporting him when they knew he had a history of drunk driving which means that he was a public danger.

Since it was in there power to deport him... when he had a vast history of drunk driving, they're complicit because they could of stopped the tradgedy from happening legally within there power.

Either way... I don't see why it's fearmongering, or just wrong when you say "This person was here illegally this tradgedy wouldn't of happened if he wasn't here."

Cause, it's basically true... and it is an issue when there are people who are committing crimes and dangers to the community who aren't being deported.
