An illegal alien who caused a crash that seriously injured a Pennsylvania judge has fled the U.S. to his native Guatemala to avoid prosecution. Surprise. Surprise.

How did the alien get out? He boarded a commercial flight in Newark, N.J., and landed safely in his home country, thumbing his nose all the way at the U.S. legal system and our homeland security bureaucracy. Incredible!

A judge issued a warrant for Rigobert Garcia-Ortega’s arrest for failure to appear after Garcia-Ortega was a no-show at a pretrial hearing in Montgomery County Court Thursday.

This incident explains why so many Americans oppose the amnesty bill that President Bush and Congress have been trying to ram down our throats. The bill would have given more rights to illegal alients, who currently enjoy protection under U.S. law even though they broke the law by entering this country illegally.

Garcia-Ortega’s case is typical.
His lawyer managed to get the illegal alien out on bail after the crash and even got an out-of-county judge to hear the case because the crash victim was a member of the Montgomery County Court.

A new judge was specially appointed to handle the case when Montgomery County judges were recused from handling the matter to avoid the appearance of impropriety, according to reporter Carl Hessler, who filed a story about the fugitive for The Mercury in Pottstown.

Imagine that. We wouldn’t want the illegal alien to have to appear before a local judge. Montgomery County must pay for the expense to bring a judge from out of the region so the illegal alien can get a fair hearing.

Too bad the illegal fled the country before his fair hearing could be held.
An illegal alien who broke the law the day he entered this country violates traffic laws and injures a U.S. citizens (a judge no less). The illegal alien then manipulates the U.S. justice system to get out on bail and manages to flee the U.S. on a commercial flight.

Maybe we can have a legal scholar such as Sen. Ted Kennedy explain this to us

So I’ve heard that Homeland Security is like SWAT on steriods (I don’t necessarily believe this…), but what exactly does Homeland do in an action situation? And, how would I become one?
Also: Are there any elite divisions of SWAT? the best of the best?
Good point Teek.
Lets make that one of the field branches? Something that gets a lot of action.

The word “homeland” harkens back to the days of the **** party, and the rainbow warning system is a joke. Give it up already.
Bust out the dictionary and look up the word “harken”. An attack on the poor wording of the department is not a comparison to the actions of **** Germany. Come on… homeland, fatherland, don’t tell me you didn’t see where I was going.

I have to write a research paper on the Department of Homeland Security. But I’m a little confused on why it’s controversial. Whats so controversial about the Department of Homeland Security?
So the main debate for Homeland Security, is if we should even have it or not? There isn’t any other things dealing with it?

so the current offensive war-strategy is preventing nuclear strikes “as we speak?”
i guess we just don’t want to fight on our own soil. i got it now. f*$# their town. ours is too pretty.
comparing what u’ve studied & what would happen does not equal the same result.

the likelihood of nothing ever happening as well as the possibility of security effectively responding to a threat.

Abra Cadabbler asked:

I have seen some good and some bad opinions from the left on the news but am curious to know what people who voted Obama think of this….
