europeanamerican said on November 16, 2009 at 10:54 AM Is he legally here? If yes, execute him. If no, send him back, dont waste our tax dollars on him I have to disagree with 50% of your post. The answer should be, 1. Is he here legally? Trial and execution 2. Is he here illegally? Trial, execution THEN deportation. Send his body BACK to his family or village wherever he's from. You think that won't leave an impression of "leave America alone"? and as far as the "tax payers money" goes, I am one of those taxpayers that would gladly "chip in" a few bucks on the electric bill to see that these murdering thugs are shown that we are a country ruled by law! Not liberals in washington, not the media, not "international views" But a straight forward no nonsense country ruled by the american people and law. An eye for an eye, By the good book, You know, kinda like it used to be........ Before it got "Changed"
