iIlegal immigrant stands accused in Henniker murder

by: TaxiManSteve

The high-profile murder of a nursing student in Henniker promises to give the Right new ammunition for the upcoming election... A tide of nativist sentiment, already sweeping the nation, coming up from actions in Arizona, is spreading rapidly... New Hampshire now has a poster child, the accused murderer, a muscular Haitian black man in cuffs will be seen on the front pages of the state's newspapers tomorrow morning...This "windfall" event will power some political careers...And weaken the case for a rational immigration policy.

A Riddle in Logic: (0.00 / 0)
So....if a single case of murder committed by an illegal alien is "evidence" that we can be a safer nation by coming down harshly on all aliens (legal or not) and blocking their path to citizenship...

...then what do multiple murders committed by native-born Americans receiving automatic citizenship at birth suggest we ought to do with all the native-born (guilty or not) in order to be a safer nation?

Just askin....


Big Mistake (0.00 / 0)
Applying logic to a situation ripe for political exploitation.

Ya think all the folks that make their living off of the Gulf Coast wanna argue the merits of cheap slogans?

There are real lives at stake in all of this.

It might escape some that this man is innocent until proven guilty.

Whack-a-mole, anyone?

Yes, but suspicion and accusation are so much less trouble than (0.00 / 0)
gathering evidence.  Proof, after all, is a "burden."  Our legal system has gone to a lot of trouble to generate "convictions" via bargains and "in court" admissions.  Prompting confessions is ever so much better.  And, confession is good for the soul.  It's a win-win situation.
