Illegal Alien Named Suspect in Teen's Death

JON SCOTT, HOST: Outrage over the traffic death of an Arizona teenager. Police say 16-year-old Kelly Tracy was killed in a near head-on collision by a suspected drunk driver over the weekend. She was on her way to her school parade.

Not only does the suspect Manuel Contreras-Galdean already have one DUI under his belt, he is also in this country illegally. The victim's mother is praying the community will forgive the suspect.

CINDY TRACY, KELLY TRACY'S MOTHER: One of our prayers has been — and we have prayed with the group of people that came to the hospital last night - is that there will be no bitterness in anyone in this towards him. And I think that's really important.

SCOTT: Joining us now, our new FOX News host, Glenn Beck. Wow, when you hear the mother saying something like that, it makes it pretty hard. There is Glenn's book — I should have mentioned that earlier, "The Christmas Sweater" — the new book that's out. But man, you hear the mom say that.

GLENN BECK, FOX NEWS: You know, it reminds me of — you remember the tragedy with the Amish community when they took the money the people were sending in and they half of it to the family and said they're suffering this as well?

It is a profound thing to be able to forgive like that. However, let's look at now what should happen and should have happened. I can't believe — and it's going to make me a racist and hate-monger and I guess I just hate people who are different than me.

But first of all, the guy is — this is the second time, a DUI. I'm an alcoholic. I mean, I get it, man. But one time, one strike is enough. And then, he's here illegally. How is that? When did we turn into this country that we catch somebody and we don't hold them for everything that they have done? OK, you have DUI — great. You've reformed yourself — great. But you're not supposed to be here.

SCOTT: Estimate is 425,000 illegal aliens are in jails and prisons in this country. And when they get out, they generally are just let go.

BECK: Why? Why are we spending the money putting these people in jail here? Let's — we catch them. We send them back to their own country. Now, you have done something serious, but if you have a traffic ticket or you got something that's going on, and you are in jail, go away.

And if you're here in our country and you do something serious like you kill somebody, well, then you're going to pay the price here, but you are not coming back. I can't believe that we are talking about this same problem that we've been talking about for — how long?

SCOTT: Well, it happens over and over again, and one of the complaints is, hey, there's not enough money in the federal budget for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency?

BECK: Yes, there is enough money to sit here and bail out insurance companies. And there's enough money — we have added $5 trillion of debt in the last three months. And there's not enough money to be able to get the guys who are killing people on the streets and sending them home?

SCOTT: Let's talk also about William Ayers. He is talking quite a bit these days. And as you might have known, he had something to say about FOX News. There he is, walking down the streets in — I think this is New York City. But anyway, he had something to say about FOX News.

Here is the quote about — let me get to it on my paper here. All right. "If you ingest way too much FOX News, you are going to be confused by a lot of things." That's what he said to students at Georgetown University last night.

BECK: Yes, if you ingest too much university talk from people like William Ayers, you are going to get confused by a lot of things, too. I can't believe — look, we live in a country and have a different point of view, that's fine. That's fine. You want to be a Marxist? That's fine. He calls himself a communist with a small C. That's fine. It's America. You can have your own view.

What I don't understand is why there is no outrage. What happened to us where there is this disconnect when we can have a guy who is saying, "I'm a communist with a small C. I'm not being violent when you I blow buildings up. And yet, I can go and work on the textbooks and teach how to help juveniles become good Americans."

Have we just completely disconnected from any kind of sanity? Our country is slipping away from us.

SCOTT: But his argument is "Hey, there are lots of different points of view, and we need to culminate them all in this country."

BECK: No, not all of them. His — that's fine, except for the violence. Yes, if you want to be a communist, if you want to be a socialist, that's totally fine. But if you noticed, no one except this network - no one except this network seems to actually care about that.

When did we disconnect from communism, socialism? When did we become a country that is like, "I don't know, we can be like France"? When did we decide that that works?

SCOTT: All right. Glenn Beck, welcome to FOX News Channel.

BECK: Thank you.

Illegal Alien Gets 33 Years for Rape/Murder of Gloria Applegate

Gloria Applegate had fallen on hard times. While we know little about her we do know she was a mother and was beloved by her family who knew she was troubled. She was arrested several times for solicitation, from which we can infer that she had developed a drug habit and was in the same place many recreational drug users eventually find themselves, struggling with addiction and hitting rock bottom.

But Gloria Applegate had a family that loved her, so she had a chance. She had a chance to pick up the pieces and regain control of her life. She had the motivation to do so. Applegate could have escaped her demons. But there was one demon who would not let her escape, Daniel Estrada-Lopez:

An illegal immigrant convicted in the shooting death of a Hamilton woman has been sentenced to 33 years to life in prison.

Butler County Common Pleas Judge Patricia Oney handed down the sentence Monday afternoon, Nov. 10. Daniel Estrada-Lopez was convicted of aggravated murder with a gun specification for killing Gloria Applegate in an alley behind East Avenue on June. 1.

Applegate, 32, was the mother of teenage two sons. She was known to Hamilton police as a prostitute who had four convictions for solicitation.

Defense attorney David Brewer did not dispute that his client was guilty of murder, but said whatever happened in the alley before the shot was fired was consensual.

The prosecution pointed to the fact that Applegate was found nude in the alley and had saliva on her breast. They said the position of the gunshot wound was evidence Estrada-Lopez was on top of Applegate attempting to rape her when he got angry and fired the shot.

Before sentencing, Estrada-Lopez addressed the court through an interpreter offering an apology and claiming not to remember shooting Applegate.

“I just want to say I am sorry to the judge and to the victim’s family,” Estrada-Lopez said. “I was drunk, I don’t know how it happened.”

Defense attorney David Brewer told the judge the less severe sentence of 23 years to life would be most appropriate for his client, noting he has a minor criminal background in the United States and until the incident was a working to help support his girlfriend’s family.

Alice Applegate, Gloria’s aunt, did not accept Estrada-Lopez’s apology, noting he showed no remorse during the trial or even a reaction to seeing crime scene photos of her niece’s body.

“If he had not been caught, I don’t know that Gloria would have been his last victim,” Applegate said.

The rape and murder of prostitutes, or women equated to prostitutes, is part of the culture of misogyny Dr. Deborah Shurman-Kaufln, author of Vultures: Profiling Sadistic Serial Killers warned us is being imported from Latin America in her excellent essay Importing Violence: The Danger of Immigration from Violent Cultures. Sexual violence against women is out of control in many areas just across our border, and we are developing the same problems.

Gloria Applegate was raped and murdered by a man who thought that because she was a prostitute she was fair game. This attitude festers because we have changed from an assimilationist model of immigration to the more politically correct “multicultural” model. More women will die until we demand people coming to our country shed the third world barbarism of their homes and adopt American values, including the essential dignity of all people and the right of women, even prostitutes, to say no without fearing for their lives.

obama's Aunt, an Illegal Alien Living in Public Housing, Contributed to His Presidential Campaign

Chicago - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know his aunt was living in the United States illegally and believes that laws covering the situation should be followed.

The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

A statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign said, “Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.” Traveling with Obama in Nevada, campaign strategist David Axelrod declined to elaborate on the statement, but said: “I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign.”

An adviser to Republican John McCain’s campaign, Mark Salter, said he had no comment on the reports about Obama’s relative. "It's a family matter," Salter said.

Rudy Giuliani, campaigning for McCain in Henderson, Nev., said in an interview with The Associated Press that Obama’s aunt should be off limits in the campaign. “I don't think families should be hounded,” he said. “I don't think Barack Obama has anything to do with a relative being here illegally.”

The campaign said it was returning $260 that Onyango had contributed in small increments to Obama's presidential bid over several months. Federal election law prohibits foreigners from making political donations. Onyango listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority and last gave $5 on Sept. 19.

Onyango, 56, is part of Obama's large paternal family, with many related to him by blood whom he never knew growing up.

Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., left the future presidential nominee when the boy was 2, and they reunited only once--for a monthlong visit when Obama was 10. The elder Obama lived most of his life in Kenya, where he fathered seven other children with three other wives. He died in a car crash in 1982.

Obama was raised for the most part by his mother and her parents in Hawaii. He first met his father's side of the family when he traveled to Africa 20 years ago. He referred to Onyango as "Auntie Zeituni" when describing the trip in his memoir, saying she was "a proud woman.”

Obama's campaign said he had seen her a few times since that meeting, beginning with a return trip to Kenya with his future wife, Michelle, in 1992. Onyango visited the family in Chicago on a tourist visa at Obama's invitation about nine years ago, the campaign said, stopping to visit friends on the East Coast before returning to Kenya.

She attended Obama's swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but campaign officials said Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and doesn't know the details of her stay. The campaign said he last heard from her about two years ago when she called saying she was in Boston, but he did not see her there.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, noncriminal violation of immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the U.S.

The AP could not immediately reach Onyango for comment. When a reporter went to her home Friday night, no one answered the door. A neighbor said she was often not home on weekends. Onyango did not immediately return telephone and written messages left at her home.

Onyango was instructed to leave the country by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

It was unclear why her request was rejected in 2004. A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual's citizenship status or immigration case.

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one a federal law enforcement official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Onyango's case--coming to light just days before the presidential election--led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring that any deportations before Tuesday's election be approved at least at the level of the agency's regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.

The directive suggests that the administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.

The East African nation has been fractured by violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.

In Boston, Lydia Agro, communications director for the Housing Authority, said Onyango had been screened and approved for public housing as an "eligible non-citizen" when she moved in in 2003. She said the authority is not notified of deportation orders and did not know Onyango was related to Obama until two days ago.

Agro said the authority doesn't believe it needs to take any action to remove Onyango from public housing despite the order.

She said that although Onyango entered the system under federal guidelines in a federal development, she now lives in a state-funded development. State law forbids the authority from even asking Onyango about her immigration status. That means the federal deportation order has no bearing on Onyango's eligibility for the state-funded project where she lives, Agro said.

"We're not convinced that the deportation decision will affect her housing at all right now," she said.

"She's been a very good resident," she added.
