Reply #124: No... I think that I understand the point that quite a few are making... [View All]

People here are making the point that his immigrant status is more important than the crime committed, or that somehow INS officials should have somehow foreseen this crime. I was simply pointing out that the rape of a minor is just as bad whether you are American or NOT.

I'm frankly very offended at the nationalist (almost Fascist display) of anxiety over immigration in this thread and I think that atrocious statements like the original one point out how silly the argument is.

In the interest of good faith, I will agree that the statement crosses lines... but, there is a lot here that crosses the line in order to somehow suggest that crimes like this are acceptable abroad, or that evil lurks outside our borders. Nonsense. I think the very dramatic statement about miley cyrus didn't quite make the point well enough. We have plenty of American child rapists. The FLDS is a great example. Where do we get off blaming this man's naturalization status for the rape of that poor girl?
