Americans dying by the hands of Illegal Invaders.

These deaths could have been prevented.

Our Leaders are guilty of complicity. Thereis an enormous number of Americans who have been harmed by thecriminals who pass through the nation's open borders.

For that reason,this section can only provide a symbolic tribute to the many unnamedvictims who have been killed, raped, robbed, crippled and otherwisepersonally violated. It isparticularly shocking that even in post-911 America, the governmentstill refuses to protect the people in the most basic ways from theworld's terrorists and criminals who enter at will to do as theyplease.

The borders remain a sieve while the human carnage from crimeperpetrated from illegal aliens continues to mount.

In another stunnerof INS malfeasance, the agency often cannot even manage to deport dangerous criminal aliens when they reach the ends of their prison terms.   NEW ITEMS ARE ADDED AT THE BOTTOM •   The murder of Kris Eggle (see the separate page of collected articles),a park ranger in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southernArizona on August 9, 2002, was little noted by the media, although thepress has paid considerable attention to the deaths of illegal alienson the border.

By contrast, Ranger Eggle was shot down by Mexican drugdealers who were using Organ Pipe as a route for their smuggling.

Only 28 when he was murdered, Eggle was a valedictorian and an Eagle Scoutwho joined the National Park Service because he loved the outdoors.(Organ Pipe is considered to be the most dangerous of the national parksystem: 200,000 illegal aliens and 700,000 pounds of drugs wereintercepted at the park in 2001.) The Eggle family is determined thathis death will not be forgotten by working for real border control,including a Washington press conference with Tom Tancredo in the fallof 2002.

The Eggles have a family website, www.kriseggle.org, to inform interested parties about what they are doing.   •   In a particularly tragic example of government inattention toillegal aliens who have run amock, one of the snipers who terrorizedthe Washington DC area for three weeks in October 2002 was a foreignnational who had been apprehended the previous year.

As a stowaway, he was required by law to be immediately deportedback to his home country.

Instead, the INS overroad the Border Patrol'sdesignation and released John Lee Malvo upon the unsuspecting Americanpublic.

Had immigration law been followed by the INS, there would havebeen no two-man hit team and it is likely that there would have been nodevastating series of murders.

As columnist Michelle Malkin hasobserved, the INS releases dangerous alien criminals all the time. •   David Nadelwas a familiar community activist in Berkeley, California, and ownedthe popular Ashkenaz dance club that featured eclectic music, such aszydeco, cajun, klezmer and the blues.

In 1996, he was murdered in the club by an apparent Mexican illegal alien, Juan Rivera Perez,whom Nadel had earlier ejected for harassing other patrons.

Perez wasin Ashkenaz as part of an English as a Second Language programgraduation party.

Police believe Perez escaped to Mexico, which isfamously unhelpful in extraditing violent criminals.

Despite the outcryfrom law enforcement, victims and the press, our government does notinsist on normal compliance in law enforcement from Mexicanauthorities. •   In another case of justice denied, the murderer of Phoenix high school student Tanee Natividad merely crossed the borderinto Mexico to escape law enforcement.

A local television station wasable to track down the murderer in a bar just a few miles across theborder without much effort.

Max LaMadrid has no reason to hide becausethe Mexican government actually helps violent criminals escape Americanjustice.

According to Arizona Attorney General Janet Napolitano, actionby the Mexican supreme court making it more difficult to extraditecriminals has "created an incentive for people to flee into Mexico as asafe harbor." At one time, Mexico would not extradite criminals whomight be subject to the death penalty;

The Mexican court recently extended this "protection" to any Mexican who might receive a life sentence,thereby giving a free pass to rapists, kidnappers and child molesters.In fact, the investigating reporter found 100 cases of violentcriminals from the Phoenix area escaping into Mexico in just the lastfew years.

Meanwhile, the grieving family of 16-year-old Tanee gets nojustice — like thousands of others in the southwest. •   At the left is shown Darlene Squires,the distraught mother of a disabled teenager, one of two girls who wereraped on October 24, 2002, by three members of a Salvadoran street ganglocated in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Aged 17 and 14, both victims aredeaf and one has cerebral palsy.

Mrs. Squires believed that the attacks were a retaliationagainst her family because her husband confronted the young men afterthey had harassed the Squires son.

Later reports indicated the menarrested for the crime were illegal aliens.Law enforcement officials were concerned about increased violence from the MS-13 gangwhich was "believed to have originated in part with soldiers and theirfamilies who left El Salvador." Local residents estimate the gang hasmore than 100 members in their community.

An update a few months afterthe Squires crime showed that the gang problem in the community has only gotten worse. •   The lives of many law enforcement officers have been lost at the criminal hands of violent illegal aliens.

One such was David March, a Los Angeles County Sheriffwho was killed when he pulled over a car for a routine traffic stop.The driver was a dangerous Mexican drug dealer, Armando Garcia, who hadbeen deported twice and has a long history of violent crime.

Aftershooting Sheriff March twice in the head, Garcia was able to escape andis believed to be in Mexico, where officials refuse to send him backfor trial.

Garcia is also wanted for two attempted murders.

At least one member of Congress, Adam Schiff,has called for President Bush to insist that Mexico extradite violentfelons.

Furthermore, the Attorneys General for all 50 states wrote toAshcroft and Secretary of State Colin Powell to demand action on theextradition issue. •   Compared with many on this page who suffered violent crime, Barbara Vidlak got off easy with just identity theft.Still, you wouldn't want her problems.

The rip-off of her SocialSecurity number by an illegal immigrant has caused Barbara's phone tobe turned off, loss of health insurance for her two kids as well asextra money out of pocket from the 34-year-old Omaha resident forcredit checks and other expenses, such as lost time at work.

She alsohad to act as a detective to track down the culprit who has filled herlife with turmoil and stress.

The reporting on this crime is notablefor its relentless sympathy for the perpetrator, even when the damageto the victim is obvious for all to see.

Rather than note how illegalimmigration is not a victimless crime, reporter Cindy Gonzalez Quote: san "immigrant rights" advocate who says that "In some ways, both womenare victims." •   Eighteen-year-old Tricia Taylor of Detroit was in courtin December 2002 to hear the plea of the illegal alien who caused herto lose both legs above the knees.

Jose Carcamo was driving under theinfluence (.08 percent blood alcohol level) and speeding when he droveover a curb and smashed Taylor into a wall.

One report stated that Carcamo has had 17 violations since 1995.Another noted that he was drag racing at the time of the crash.

It isagreed that the car was travelling between 50 and 75 miles per hour ona street posted for 25 mph.

Taylor's companion Noah Menard suffered afractured skull and collarbone, as well as requiring eight pins toreconstruct his mangled elbow.

The INS had twice begun deportationproceeding against Carcamo to return him to El Salvador, butregrettably did not follow through.

Carcamo will be out of jail in afew years, but Tricia Taylor faces a lifetime of pain and disabilitybecause of another failure of the INS to remove a dangerous alien.Incidentally, drinking to excess and then driving is celebrated in Hispanic cultures rather than condemned.     Sentencing Update:On January 13, 2003 Jose Carcamo was sentenced to 3-5 years in prison.Four months after the crash, Tricia Taylor still must take painmedication, antibiotics, anti-depressants and sleeping pills.

Chronicbone infection means she may yet lose more of her right leg.

Carcamosent a note of apology to Taylor and Menard, but misspelled the names.She responded, "It hurts me every time I see him.

He acts like he'ssorry, but you'd think he would know our names." She is not forgiving,either: "I have my whole life with no legs ...

I'm only 18. He gets noforgiveness." •   Another American stymied in the pursuit of justice for a murdered child is Ron Cornell,shown here with a car-hood portrait of his murdered son Joey.

His son'skiller, Gonzalo Villalobos, escaped to Mexico and, like so many others,is being protected by the Mexican government's refusal to extradite.

Atone point, Villalobos' whereabouts in El Salvador were known precisely,but there is no extradition cooperation with that nation either.

(Afterthe devastation of Hurricane Mitch in 1998, the United States sent $110 million in disaster relief aid to El Salvador.) This article includes a rogues gallery of mug shots of fugitives safe in Mexico. •   In June 2002, these four residents of Whidbey Islandin Washington were the shooting victims of a Jamaican national who wasevidently frustrated that he had ruined his plans to get a green cardthrough marriage to an American woman.

Preston Dean "Hugh" Douglasangered his girlfriend Holly Swartz because he had sexually abused herseven-year-old daughter.

When Holly moved herself and her child intoher mother's house, Douglas reacted by shooting Holly, her motherMarjorie Monnett (the mother of eight children), Marjorie's son Bruceand Bruce's girlfriend Sierra Klug.

Holly and Marjorie were killed, andBruce and Sierra survived.

Douglas shot and killed himself.

ReportedlyDouglas was in the country illegally, although he was working as abouncer at a local Chinese restaurant. •   On the day after New Years 2003, six-year-old Jose Sotowas riding his bike around the parking lot near his parents' apartmenthouse when he was struck and severely injured by a man backing out in ared truck.

Witnesses were shocked when the man stopped and pulled thechild from under the truck and roughly threw him aside before speedingoff.

At this writing, Jose is in critical condition in a Houstonhospital and the perpetrator is believed to be on his way to Mexico, if not already there.

The man's name was released a few days later: Jose Ines Morales.As noted above, once a criminal reaches Mexico, he has effectivelyeluded the law permanently, since America's southern neighbor refusesto extradite, as a matter of policy, criminals who may be punishedaccording to the severity of their crimes. •   Sister Helen Chaska was murderedin late summer 2002 by being strangled with her rosary beads — thebeads were found imbedded in her neck.

She was also raped, as wasanother nun who accompanied Sister Helen during walking prayers.

Both women were in Klamath Falls, Oregon, doing missionary work when the crimes occurred.

Her accused murderer is Maximiliano Esparza,who is in the United States illegally, and was convicted in 1988 ofrobbery and kidnapping in Los Angeles.

He was sentenced to six years inprison, was released in 1992 and was on probation until 1995.

By law,this man should have been deported to Mexico after his release in 1992.Instead, the INS allowed him to remain in the United States and commiteven more heinous crimes.

In this article,Michelle Malkin notes the Esparza crime and other examples of INSstandard procedure of "catch and release" in violation of law.     Sentencing Update: On April 8, 2003, Esparza wassentenced to life in prison without parole.

The sentence was a dealworked out with the prosecution to avoid a trial with the possibilityof the death penalty.

Klamath County District Attorney Ed Caleb saidthat he wanted to avoid forcing the other nun who had been attacked totestify.

In addition, Caleb sent a bill to the Mexican consulate for the cost of investigating and prosecuting the case.

Not much chance of getting any money, but it is a reasonable gesture. •   It has been a decade since Oregon State Police Trooper Bret Clodfelterwas murdered by an illegal alien, but the crime has not been forgotten.Trooper Clodfelter of Klamath Falls had arrested three Mexican men forbeing drunk and disorderly, then offered them a ride and was murderedfor his generosity.

The prosecuter sought the death penalty, but onedissenting juror meant Francisco Manzo-Hernandez got life in prisoninstead.

To add to the tragedy, Clodfelter's widow Rene committed suicide a year after her husband was murdered.

The couple had been married just over a month when the murder occurred. •   Officer Sheila Herring was lost to a bullet from an illegal alien in an early morning altercation at a Norfolk bar on January 16.

The accused man, Mario Roberto Keen,a citizen of Jamaica, had reportedly shot a man in the bar after whichthe police were called.

When several officers arrived, Keen opened fireand shot Officer Herring who died later in surgery.

Keen was shot andkilled at the scene.

He had been sentenced to five years in prison in1990 for selling cocaine and was later deported.

Keen attempted tore-enter the United States in New York in 1997, but was reportedlybarred from entering.

It is not known when Keen succeeded in enteringthe U.S.

But back to Sheila Herring: from all accounts she was anexcellent police officer and loved her job.

She had been a cop inDetroit for ten years before moving to Virginia.

She was 39 and had an18-year-old daughter. •   Angie Morfinof Salinas, California, testified before the House ImmigrationSubcommittee in June of 1999 about the murder of her 13-year-old son byan illegal alien gangster.

Her boy Ruben was simply in the wrong placeat the wrong time and was shot down by a Mexican who escaped to Mexico.Her testimony also noted how the Latino community in her town wantsimmigration laws enforced, particularly to deal with the problem ofillegal alien gangs that are responsible for a lot of violent criminalactivity.

Since her son's murder, Angie Morfin has spoken out about theneed for more Border Patrol agents and other enforcement to make hercommunity safer so that no other mothers must suffer the loss that shehas. •   Thirteen-year-old Laura Ayalawent missing in March 2002, taken just a few feet from in her home inHouston.

At this writing, there is no child and no body, although blood identifiedas being hers was identified in 2002 in the car of men believed to beconnected with her abduction.

Because of some evidence that she hadbeen taken to Mexico, part of the searchhas been there.

One complication was Houston's policy of "sanctuary"which disallows police from investigating a person's citizenshipstatus.

Illegal alien Walter Alexander Sorto was in police hands for traffic tickets but could not be deportedbecause of the sanctuary policy: he is believed to be connected inLaura Ayala's disappearance which occurred several months after theticket problem.

Houston police office John Nickell testified before Congress (2/27/02) about how sanctuary laws inhibit the effectiveness of beat cops to deal with criminals and prevent crime. •   The danger on the highways from truckloads of illegal aliens in border areas has been increasing drastically.It is not unusual for a van full of illegal aliens to speed down theroad in the wrong direction to avoid American law enforcement, causingdeath and injury to both American citizens and foreigners.

One of the worst examples (shown at the left) took place near San Diego June 25, 2002, where seven people were killedand at least 31 were injured when a van tried to avoid a bordercheckpoint by turning the lights off and speeding against oncomingtraffic in the wrong lane.

Larry S. Baca of Albuquerque was killed whenhis Ford was smashed head-on by the immigrant van and knocked airborne.On March 10, 2003, two men were killed and 20 people were injured when a stolen truck loaded with illegal aliens tried to outrun American authorities. •   Dana Peviawas kidnapped from her North Carolina school bus stop in 1999 when shewas only 11.

In March, 2003, she was able to escape her captivity inMexico and visit the American Consulate in Guadalahara.

The officialsthere contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Childrenand through them reached Dana's mother Wanda was contacted.

Dana returned home a few days later with her two children.

The apparent kidnapper Hector Frausto, a "Mexican construction worker," was arrested in North Carolina on March 27.

Dana was evidently forcibly kept captiveby his family in Mexico for much of that time.

She was only able to getaway because she had the help of a sympathetic neighbor.

The unaskedquestion is why the obvious suspect's family in Mexico was notinvestigated four years ago.

Was the unhelpful Mexican legal systembeing obstructionist yet again? •   The Marti family as pictured here during a happy moment no longer exists.

Sean, just 24 years old, and his daughter Sage, 5 months old, were killed February 27 by a drunk illegal alienwho was driving the wrong way on Highway 84 in Idaho.

Natalie Marti wasin a coma after the head-on crash and returned slowly to wakingconsciousness over a period of weeks.

With coma victims, full mentalfunctioning and memory can take much longer.

She had attended collegein Boise while she and Sean managed an apartment complex.     Edgar Vasquez Hernandez,who worked as a house framer, was charged with two counts of vehicularmanslaughter and one count of aggravated driving.

Court records show Hernandez was intoxicated at the time of the crash.

Hispanics are statistically more likely to drive drunk than other groups, and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death up to age 24 among Latinos.     Sentencing Update: On June 10, 2003, Hernandez pleadedguilty to two counts of vehicular manslaughter and one charge ofaggravated driving under the influence.

He will be sentenced onSeptember 18.     More Attention Called for Criminal Aliens (July 19, 2003): The Marti case was used as an example of crime that could have been prevented if there were adequate enforcement against illegal alien criminals.

The Idaho Statesman reported that in February 2002, federal agent J.

Kent Nygaard wrote a memo to immigration officials warning that American citizens would die as a result of irresponsible policies regarding dangerous felons. •   Maria Suarezwas only 16 and living in Los Angeles when she was sold for $200 to a68-year-old man, Anselmo Covarrubias, who presented himself in theneighborhood as a brujo, a magician.

He raped and abused her, utilizingbrainwashing where he said he had powers from the devil, as he had doneto many Mexican girls held in virtual slavery before her.

A neighborbludgeoned Covarrubias to death, and Suarez hid the weapon but was notdirectly involved in the killing.

Still, she served 22 years in prison,and is slated to be released within a year.     Update, 12/16/03: Maria Suarezis about to be paroled after serving just slightly less than hersentence (25 years to life) and will reportedly be deported at thattime. •   Phoenix Police Officer Robert Sitekwas shot four times 4/12/03 during a traffic stop altercation with anillegal alien that became violent.

Sitek and his partner David Thwingwere on routine patrol when a red truck cut off their squad car, andwhen the officers stopped the truck the driver began shooting.

OfficerSitek was in cardiac arrest by the time he reached the hospital andlost a considerable amount of blood.

Shooter Francisco A.

Gallardowas a "Mexican citizen who had recently completed a seven-year prisonterm for aggravated assault." He had been deported after his releasebut had returned to Arizona.

Gallardo was shot and killed as he triedto escape by Officer Thwing.     Medical Update, June 5, 2003: Officer Rob Sitek has had a slow but gradually successful recoveryfrom injuries that surely would have been fatal to most.

At nearly twomonths after the shooting, he has pulled out of a three-week coma, isstill unable to walk but is determined to do so and eventually returnto work. •   David Lazarusis a familiar name to the readers of the San Francisco Chroniclebusiness pages, and the reporter appears occasionally on televisionnews shows like This Week in Northern California on the local PBSaffiliate.

As a successful middle class professional, he probably neverthought he would become the victim of an illegal alien, but that assumption would have been very wrong indeed.

Mr. Lazarus recounts his experience of identity theftby a Jamaican national Derrick Davis, who used Lazarus' social securitynumber to get nine credit cards and several jobs.

Lazarus called histroubles a "royal pain," one that "has made my own life miserable." ButDavid Lazarus is lucky because his own reporting skills helped himinvestigate the case, unlike most of the nearly 700,000 Americans hitby identity theftevery year.

While Lazarus has the pleasure of seeing the perp behindbars, many victims have to work for years to get their livesstraightened out, if they ever do. •   Marc Atkinson was just 28 when he was shot and killed in a 1999 ambush by an illegal alien from Mexico.

Officer Atkinson was a five-year veteran of the Phoenix Police Force,and was survived by his wife Karen, infant son and two siblings.

Thekiller, Felipe Petrona-Cabanas, had around a pound of cocaine in hiscar when apprehended with two other Mexican nationals.

The three camefrom a farming area in the state of Guerrero near Acapulco, and saidthey came to the United States to work but couldn't find any.

A notabledetail in the case is how an armed citizen, Rory Vertigan, came to the aid of the shot officer and helped apprehend the Mexicans, who certainly would have escaped over the border if they could have. •   Christina Long'sbody was found face down in a creek in Greenwich, Connecticut, aftershe was killed by asphyxiation during rough sex.

Christina, aged 13,met her killer, Saul Dos Reis, through the internet in a chat room, anaspect of the case which has gotten it a lot of media attention, unlikethe criminal's immigration status.

Dos Reis attempted to give himself an alibiby emailing the girl and apologizing for not meeting her the night ofthe death.

In fact, he strangled the sixth-grader and then dumped thebody not far from his home.

The killer is a Brazilian national whoevidently overstayed his visa by several years and legally should bedeported when he completes his sentence.

He was convicted of manslaughter in mid-April 2003.

This article includes a video clip about the case.     Sentencing Update: At the sentencing,Saul Dos Reis stated, "I have not had a single night of sleep when Idon't wake up drenched in sweat." Judge Patrick L.

Carroll IIIresponded, "That time for mercy was the evening your victim died inyour hands." The Judge gave Dos Reis 30 years in prison, the maximum for manslaughter. •   Randy Burrisdied a hero, saving the lives of a young mother and her baby, as Randypushed Heather Carlson's baby carriage from the path of a car careeningout of control.

A resident of Clarke County Georgia, Randy was thefather of three children and had struck up a conversation with Heatherabout her dog.

The murderous car was driven by a drunk illegal alien,Ricardo Arriaga-Gutierrez, whose blood alcohol level was three timesthe legal limit even several hours after the accident.

After runningRandy Burris down, Arriaga-Gutierrezfled the scene, hid the car in another county and went to a party toestablish an alibi.

Midway into the case, the prosecutor requested thatbail be revoked because of the flight riskto Mexico, and the judge complied.

Arriaga-Gutierrez must serve atleast 90 percent of his 15-year sentence for vehicular homicide undercurrent state guidelines, plus three years for leaving the scene of theaccident and driving without a license.

He is legally required to bedeported at the time of his release. •   Officer Kenneth Collingsof the Phoenix Police Department was killed in 1988 during the arrestof two robbery suspects at a local bank when one opened fire.

One ofthe robbers, Ismael Conde, was quickly arrested but the other, RudyRomero, escaped to Mexico.

Romero was caught in southern Mexico in 2000and brought back to stand trial.

The Arizona Attorney General's Officecredits help from the Phoenix Police Department, the FBI, the AttorneyGeneral for the Republic of Mexico, and the Mexican Federal Agency ofInvestigation — a rare and welcome act of extradition from our southernneighbor.

In March 2003, Romero was sentenced to 98 years in stateprison. •   Unlike many on this page, Norman Wallace did not die at the hands of an illegal alien.

The thirty-year-old MBA student from Youngstown, Ohio, was hard working and full of promise,according to all accounts.

One of eleven children, he was active in hischurch as a young man.

After getting a BA in Business Administrationfrom Youngstown State University, he worked as a portfolio manager andmanaging partner of a food distribution company.

At the WeatherheadSchool program at Case, he had recently been elected president of theBlack MBA Student Association.     Norman Wallace was killed by naturalized citizen Biswanath Halder, who immigrated from India as a 28-year-old adult in 1969 and became a citizen 11 years later.

Halder was arrestedafter a shooting rampage of seven hours in which several people on thecampus of Case Western Institute of Technology were shot.

The picture of the shooter emerging is of a person with serious psychological problems.Even though Halder had a degree in engineering, he began receivingSocial Security checks in the late 1980s for his "disabilities." Hesued several companies for not hiring him, starting in 1990.

He suedCase University over his website allegedly being deleted by a Caseemployee, but the suit was recently thrown out of court, a possiblemotive for the rampage.

On May 29, the Cuyahoga County grand jury issued a 338-count indictment against Halder, including charges of murder and kidnapping: he faces the death penalty.     As of this writing, the questions that should be asked have not: was Halder's "loner" ragean amplification of failed adjustment to American society, even afterdecades of living here?

In 1993, he wrote, "The only thing I had in mymind when I created the Asian Indian Network was to serve my fellow countrymen,"hardly the sentiments of an assimilated immigrant.

Was he noticeablypsychologically unbalanced as a young man, and a person who should nothave been admitted in the first place for immigration in normalscreening?

And why aren't these questions being asked? •   Officer Hugo Arangoof the Doraville (Georgia) Police Department was murdered by an illegalalien Bautista Ramirez May 13, 2000 — there's no dispute about thosefacts.

But the June trial has not been a pretty picture as admittedcop-killer Ramirez pleaded self-defense because he thought OfficerArango would kill him otherwise, saying "if I don't kill him, he'sgoing to kill me." The prosecution contends that Ramirez shot the police officersimply to avoid arrest.

The original altercation occurred outside anightclub, when Arango approached Ramirez, then 19, and his cousin.Ramirez was an illegal alien from Mexico, and possessed a concealedgun.

Also injured by Ramirez was nightclub manager David Contreras, whosurvived being shot in the face.     Update, June 25, 2003: Bautista Ramirez was foundguilty of the murder of Officer Arango, as well as of carrying aconcealed weapon and aggravated assault against David Contreras, whowas blinded in one eye in the attack.

Evidently the jury was notimpressed with the defense strategy of blaming the victim.

The jurydecided Ramirez should get life in prison (with the possibility of parole)plus 20 years for shooting Contreras and one year for gun possession.According to the strange math of sentencing, the convicted cop killercould be out in 46 years or less. •   Nine-year-old Jennette Tamayo was kidnapped from her San Jose house on June 6 after her arrival at around 4 pm.

A surveilance videorevealed that the kidnapper waited outside in his car for the girl toenter the house.

The girl's mother and 15-year-old brother arrived halfa few minutes later and couldn't open the garage door to enter.

Whenthe brother ducked underneath the door he was attacked and choked bythe intruder.

The mother got in and tried to fight off the man, but hemanaged to escape with Jennette in his car.

An Amber Alert was put intoeffect soon after.

Police were concerned the Latino man who kidnappedJennette was headed for Mexico, where he would be safe from Americanprosecution which is known to deal harshly with child kidnappers.     Update: Jennette walked into an east Palo Alto convenience storea couple days after her abduction.

Her detailed description enabledpolice to arrest the suspect just a few hours later, also not far fromher home.

After some reports that the man used at least three aliases,mainly Enrique Alvarez, writer Michelle Malkin confirmed that thekidnapper is indeed an illegal alien. •   Victoria Hen was a victim of terrorism in America.

She was shot and killed as she sat at her desk by Hesham Mohamed Hadayet on July 4, 2002, at the El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles International Airport.She was born in Israel and emigrated with her family to the US in 1990.Particularly sad is the fact that her family had planned a surpriseparty for her the next day where her boyfriend intended to propose.

Toadd to the unimaginable tragedy for the family, Victoria's 18-year-old brother Nim was killed just four months laterin a traffic accident with a hit-and-run driver.

The LAX shooter wasborn in Egypt and lived here for a time as an illegal alien and waseven considered for deportation until he got lucky when his wife wonthe Diversity Lottery.Even though Hadayet went to LAX armed to the teeth, expressedanti-American and anti-Israeli views and shot six people before he waskilled by security, it took nine months for the FBI to call the crimean act of terrorism.

In addition, it was reported just a few days after the shooting that Hadayet was connected with Egyptian Islamic Jihad and al Qaeda. •   Gary Selbywas killed when an illegal alien with a blood alcohol level at threetimes the legal limit, Samuel Avalos Gallardo, drove over the dividingline and struck head-on the car Gary was driving.

The three passengerswere all badly injured but recovered.

Gary's death occurred in Octoberof 1992 when he was just 18 years old and just a few months after hegraduated from high school.

He was the older of two sons, and is stillterribly missed by his family.    The drunk illegal alien, Samuel Avalos Gallardo,was arrested at the scene, tried and sentenced to 40 years for thedeath and injury he caused.

Incredibly, the Nevada Department ofCorrections wrongly placed Gallardo on a minimum security work detail,from which he escaped just six months into his sentence.

Ten yearslater, this criminal is not behind bars where he belongs, but livesfree somewhere.

Gallardo's freedom remains a source of pain for Gary Selby's family, who still hope for the capture of the criminal and some justice. •   Killing a horse is certainly insignificant in comparison with manyof the crimes noted here.

But the senseless cruelty of killing abeautiful animal as some sort of sick fun shouldn't be overlookedeither.

"This was an especially horrific and wanton killing," according to Sonoma County Prosecutor James Patrick Casey.

Gentle Song was a thoroughbred mare that was the beloved pet of a 13-year-old girl in Sonoma County, California.

The horse won three racesand placed seven times in a racing career of 27 starts, earning$65,000.

A couple of illegal alien ranch hands had a few drinks andthought they would have some kicks by running down animals in a fieldwith a car and truck.

The mare was struck and died of head injuries.Local animal lovers put together a $20,000 reward to find the culprits,a strategy which succeeded.

Liobijildo Guzman Herrera and NoelGuido-Silva, both of Mexico, were arrested June 13.

If convicted, themen could spend a year or more in prison and have to pay substantialfines.     Court update: The two accused horse-killers originally pleaded no contestin September, figuring they would get a slap on the wrist.

When theyfound out that the sentence would be three years in state prison, theydecided to withdraw the no contest plea and request a jury trial, whichis now set for Feb.

4, 2004. •   Oceanside Officer Tony Zeppetellawas a rookie cop, who had been in the department just over a year, whenhe was shot three times and killed in a credit union parking lot byAdrian George Camacho, a Mexican illegal alien with a long criminalrecord.

Officer Zeppetella was married with a six-month-old child.

Hewas born in Whittier and enlisted in the navy after he graduated fromhigh school in 1994.

Tony Zeppetella was 27 years old when he waskilled.

The accused killer had been deported several times,and his criminal record lists drugs, illegal firearms possession andgang activity.

Camacho fled the scene of the shooting to the home ofhis ex-wife's parents, and was taken into custody only after afour-hour standoff. •   Eighteen-year-old Faith Johnstonused her appearance on the witness stand to go public with her identityas a rape victim of Catholic Priest Kelvin Iguabita when she was only15.

The priest was arrestedin January 2002 for assaulting her repeatedly over a four-month periodat a church in Haverhill, Massachusetts.

In the end, Superior CourtJudge Richard Welsh sentenced the convicted Iguabita to ahigher-than-requested 12-14 years in prison, after which the Columbiannational will be deported to his home country.

The trial and sentencingare part of the healing process for Faith Johnston, who has attemptedsuicide and has experienced panic attacks since the abuse.

She is still unable to play the violin, because the calculating predator used music to get closer to his victim, and playing the violin reminds Faith of the assaults. •   Christopher Shackleford,19, was killed July 29, 2000, in Marietta, Georgia, by a drunk driver,an illegal alien whose blood alcohol was at twice the legal limit.

Alsokilled were two other teenagers in the car — Julieanne Pascoe, 18, andKelli Bourgeois, 19.

Chris was an aspiring filmmaker, and was majoringin film at Georgia State University where he was a freshman.     When Atlanta INS assistant district director Bart Szafnickiread about the deaths, he decided that more serious action againstdrunk driving illegal aliens was needed, and he began deportationproceedings against 64 such foreigners in his district.

"I thoughtabout how I would feel if it was my child," said Szafnicki.

"Anyone whois arrested for DUI who is an illegal alien needs to go home.

Thenative-born population in the U.S.

Has largely recognized the problemwith DUI.

But with the new influx of immigrants, I just don't think theword has filtered down."     In May 2001, Sergio Montelongo-Sanchez, the drunk-drivingillegal alien, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, DUI, recklessdriving, possession of alcohol by a minor, and several other charges.For all that, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison. •   According to Boise-based federal agent J.

Kent Nygaard, the murder of Angie Leon is a crime that never should have happened.

He wrote to immigration officials in February 2002, warning them that America's permissive policies in dealing with criminal aliens were putting citizens' lives at risk.

He noted these details about the killing of Angie Leonby her estranged husband: "Mr.

Leon was convicted on March 18, 2002, inthe District Court in Canyon County for possession of a controlledsubstance, making him an aggravated felon under INS laws calling formandatory detention and institution of deportation proceedings.

Thosedeportation proceedings were never instituted even though INS was awareof the case." Angie Leon was shot to death May 19, 2003, in her Nampa,Idaho, apartment while her three young children and her mother, SylviaFlores, called 911 from a car in front of the residence. •   Eleodora Contreras, shown being helped to a court appearance by a police escort, was the mother of Walter Contreras Valenzuela,a 10-year-old boy who was murdered May 20, 2001, by an illegal alienfrom Honduras.

Walter enjoyed playing along the Whippany River, just ashort distance from his Morristown, New Jersey, home.

He liked to fishin the river, with friends or sometimes with people he met on the bank.Tragically, one whom he met, Porfirio Jimenez, was a sexual predator.In another case of INS and police failure, the alleged killer had beenarrested three times, once for threatening a man with a knife, yet theillegal alien remained in America to commit much more serious crimes.The boy was beaten so badlythat his mother could not recognize his face, and he was sexuallymolested before being murdered.

Porfirio Jimenez is scheduled to go totrial in January 2004. •   Stanley Hope lost his wife Kimberleywhen she was murdered April 8 by an illegal alien in order to steal hercar.

Stanley went looking for Kimberley when she failed to come homefrom feeding a neighbor's dogs and found her at the friend's house,laying on the floor with her head in a pool of blood where she had beenkilled.

The police arrested suspect Daniel Gonzalez Berumen of Mexicowhen he attempted to drive Kimberley Hope's stolen car across theborder.

He had earlier been in prison for displaying a firearm from avehicle in Los Angeles County in 2001, then was paroled and deported.Berumen is charged with murder, robbery and burglary, and could facethe death penalty. •   In January 2002, five-year-old Ana Cernawas another tragic death at the hands of a irresponsible illegal alien.The girl was one of five children and one adult hit by the car drivenby Osvaldo Urzua, a Mexican living in Oakland, California.

Ana diedafter being taken off life support;

She had attended kindergarten.Urzua sped away from the crime scene because he feared being deportedand expressed no interest in what had happened to the children he struck.

On July 15, 2002, he was ordered to spend six years in prison, a disappointingly short sentence for the families of the victims.     People like Osvaldo Urzua have created California's hit-and-run crisisresulting from the state being home to so many illegal alien drivers.The state's number of hit-and-run accidents has been accelerating, andis more than twice the national average for percentage of trafficaccidents where the driver leaves the scene, i.e.

7.8 percent of thestate's fatal crashes in 2001 compared with the 3.8 percent nationally.Since unlicensed drivers involved in fatal crashes may be deported,they are highly motivated not to be caught.

As California HighwayPatrol spokesman Steve Kohler remarked, someone who runs from anaccident is "a person who may feel like they have nothing to lose." Anillegal alien criminal would indeed qualify as someone with zeroconnection with the American community and nothing to lose.     See the map on the lower part of this page, Percentage of fatal crashes caused by hit-and-run drivers in 2001, which shows that high immigration states mostly correlate with more frequent hit and runs. •   Colorado resident Nancy Lawis a victim of identity theft because an illegal alien stole her SocialSecurity number.

She is shown with the paperwork necessary to clear upthe fraud and get straight with the Internal Revenue Service and otheragencies.

Nancy began receiving notices from the IRS requesting paymentof taxes for those jobs she was doing, like the gig in the Denvertortilla factory.

In truth, Nancy Law works as a fifth-grade teacherand has never worked making tortillas, and the notice that she owedtaxes was a frightening introduction to the underground world offraudulent documents among illegal aliens.     Immigration reform legislation in 1986 required that employers determine that a job applicant be a citizen.

As a result, document fraudhas skyrocketed, even though fraudulent use of a fake Social Securitynumber is a felony and can bring a prison term of five years. •   Mariana Cisneros is currently listed by the FBI as a missing person,although she was last known to be in the custody of her mother inNashville.

This child was unlucky in parents: her mother Martha CanoPatlan is accused is the brutal torture/murder of Mariana'afour-year-old brother.

The boy had been beaten and burned, and diedfrom multiple wounds.

The other accused killer is Martha's boyfriend,Genaro Espinosa Dorantes, who was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wantedlist in August 2003.

The FBI describes Dorantes as very dangerous.

Hewas involved in illegal alien smuggling, so he may use thoseconnections to stay hidden or to escape to Mexico.

Obviously, thischild is in danger if she is still alive. •   Ariel Selloukwas murdered when his throat was violently slashed, nearly decapitatinghim.

There are many questions about this crime, which occurred inHouston, August 6.

The victim was an Israeli and the accused killer, Mohammed Ali Alayed,is a Saudi citizen with an expired student visa.

One story refers tothe two being "friends" although Alayed's roomate said that he hadnever seen the victim before.

Apparently Sellouk and Alayed met for adrink, then went back to Alayed's apartment where he allegedly killedSellouk in front of the roommate.     Since there is no apparent motive, the family believes the act is a hate crimeand terrorism and the local Anti-Defamation League intends to pursuethat possibility.

However, police say Alayed has a history of sellingdrugs.

He was arrested about a week later when he was found hiding in a closet of the same apartment complex where he lived.     Update, Jan 12, 2004: Saudi national Mohammed Ali Alayedpleaded guilty to the killing.

Although police could not establish amotive for the murder, Alayed went to a local mosque after the crimeand had recently become more actively Muslim. •   The tragic death of Michael Seitzshould be a cautionary tale in several respects.

The 35-year-old NapaCounty vintner was apparently killed in a terrible fork-lift accidentwhere the only other person present was an illegal alien worker.

AfterSeitz's skull was crushed, Jesus Garciapanicked and dumped the body into a truck and drove it a half mile fromthe scene.

For a while, authorities believed the death was a homicide.Later, the sheriff's department said either the new forkliftmalfunctioned or Garcia made an error.

Was Seitz dead when Garciadisposed of the evidence?

What if Seitz had been badly

Sure could of but we both know America will never stop buying the cartels drug's.

For the rest if we had immigration reform it could do better background checks and allow honest people in not rich greedy sob's.

Remember alot come here legaly and they pass no problem but when a poor man trying to create a better life for himself and he's family it just wont pass.

All of this is true no reason to deny it immigration goes full circle.

'sorry illegal immigration'

Glad someone else calls the scum invaders.

And since they are invaders and not in a uniform shoot them on the spot as spies.

Gene: glad someone else calls the scum invaders.

And since they are invaders and not in a uniform shoot them on the spot as spies. Even kids and old ladies ?

I would post all the crimes, violence, and corruption that occur in the counties to the south that dirty American drug money pays for but I aint got the time right now.

Oh, and BTW, a quick look at these crimes posted, a drunk driver seems to be more to blame than an illegal worker. Americans kill over 12,000 Americans every year because of driving under the influence. But thats ok.

They're legal here.

Lesgo aftah them Messicuns!

Been to mcdonalds lately?

I have they fucked up on my order because they dont know a word of english.

Comapassion has taken over the american mind therefore, nothing will change and things will only get worse until you can hide your compassion for human life.

In other words, killing and violence is the only way to rid the country of illegal invaders!

If I had the power, we would be at war with mexico again!

Jr.:I would post all the crimes, violence, and corruption that occur in the counties to the south that dirty American drug money pays for but I aint got the time right now. "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" - The use of drugs illegally purchased by Americans does not justify nor in any sane way rationalize the heinous and violent crimes committed by the latino crime cartels who smuggle them.

All the US need do is decriminalize the possession of pot and there goes most of the profitability. By all means, post away...knock yourself out.

Show us the list of the tens of thousands of innocent Latino victims who fall prey to their own criminals.

Actually I know a few illegal immigrants and they are nice people, the ones I know but I have to say they came here illegally by paying someone alot of money and when they got here they purchased illegal social security cards which dont even match their name and numbers.

You kn ow what is also amazing is how one of them got health care for their kids but I was turned down by the same program.

Im glad he got health care for his kids but it is frustrating when he qualifies being illegal and I dont qualify and Im a US citizen.

Jimmy : been to mcdonalds lately?

I have they fucked up on my order because they dont know a word of english. English speakers won't work for McDonald's pay rates.

Buck Fush : gene: glad someone else calls the scum invaders.

And since they are invaders and not in a uniform shoot them on the spot as spies. Even kids and old ladies ? Americans do a pretty good job of killing their own without the help of Mexican drug lords.

Show us the list of the tens of thousands of innocent Latino victims who fall prey to their own criminals. How exactly is ones migratory status a determining factor in whether or not one commites a heinous crime?

Would a criminologist back you up this theory in a court? "Judge we find the defendant guilty of murder by reason of illegal immigration."...?? And please dont defer to the "If they werent here" theology as your reasoning. "A occurred, then B occurred.

Therefore, A caused B.

When B is undesirable, this pattern is often extended in reverse: Avoiding A will prevent B." Like I said, the above posted crimes have culpability to do more with drunk driving than they have to do with working illegally in the US. Now if the illegal went postal at work, then you might have an argument.

Robert: Buck Fush : gene: glad someone else calls the scum invaders.

And since they are invaders and not in a uniform shoot them on the spot as spies. Even kids and old ladies ? Americans do a pretty good job of killing their own without the help of Mexican drug lords. No doubt.
