HPD: Suspect in officer’s murder in U.S. illegally

12:07 PM CDT on Sunday, September 24, 2006

From 11 News Staff and Wire Reports

The Houston Police Department said the suspect in the murder of a police officer has confessed to the crime.

HPD

Officer Rodney Johnson

Police also confirmed that the suspect, Juan Leonardo Quintero, 32, was in the country illegally after being deported in 1999.

Quintero is charged with the capital murder of Officer Rodney Johnson, 40, who was shot around 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the 9300 block of Randolph.

Prosecutors on Friday said Quintero, who is being held without bond, pulled a 9 mm handgun from his waistband and shot Johnson. Casings were found in the car and police revealed Friday that the suspect also tried to shoot a tow-truck operator who showed up just after Johnson was shot.

Police also released more details about the shooting. They said that Johnson apparently missed a gun that Quintero had during a pat-down search.

Eyewitness to shooting
“Apparently in the course of the pat-down search, the officer did not determine it (the gun) was present,” said HPD investigator Dale Brown. “The officer just missed the weapon in the pat-down search.”

Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt had harsh words for the system that apparently allowed Quintero back into the country.

“If the government would fulfill their responsibility of protecting the border, we would probably not be standing here today,” Hurtt said at a press conference Friday.

A woman who claims to be Quintero’s wife and a security guard told 11 News: “I don’t have anything left for him,” she said. “Why he did this I don’t know. To me, a fellow officer died; that is what we should focus on.

“Two lives are gone,” the woman said. “I don’t know how to talk to him. I don’t know what to say to him.”

The woman told 11 News the gun belonged to her, and that she kept it in a locked box next to her bed. She said only she and Quintero knew where the key was.

She also told 11 News that Quintero is in the United States illegally, and that he spends more time in Mexico than Texas. Police confirmed that Friday, saying that Quintero was deported in 1999 after he was charged with indecency with a child.

“Part of the investigation is determining when he did return to this country illegally,” Brown said.

Homicide investigators, Internal Affairs agents and members of the Harris County District Attorney’s office were at the scene of the crime Thursday, trying to piece together what could have gone so tragically wrong.

The incident started like so many other police moments: Quintero was pulled over for an alleged speeding violation for traveling 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. He was taken into custody after Johnson determined he did not have a driver’s license.

“The officer took the suspect into custody.  He was apparently handcuffed and placed in the rear of a patrol vehicle,” Hurtt said at a press conference.

Witnesses driving by saw nothing unusual.

“The police officer was leaving the truck and going back to the patrol car, like walking back that way,” said the witness.

Police said Friday that they believe the suspect was able to move his hands under his feet and bring them to the front of his body.

“We believe the officer was shot while sitting inside his vehicle.  He was able to push the emergency button,” said Chief Hurtt.

A bullet grazed the back of Officer Johnson’s head. Then he turned, and he was shot in the face three times, according to investigators.

Quintero was clearly agitated and thrashing around in the back of the car as he was taken into custody Thursday. Police took his clothing as evidence, and he was dressed in a paper jumper.

News of Officer Johnson’s death came out around 8 p.m.

As word got out, Houston’s leaders arrived at Ben Taub Hospital: Hurtt, Mayor Bill White and City Councilman Adrian Garcia, a former HPD officer.

Johnson was born in Houston but graduated from high school in Oakland, Calif., in 1984, according to a biography kept by the Houston Police Officers’ Union. He then served in the U.S. Army as a military police officer until being honorably discharged in 1990.

Johnson went to work as a corrections officer for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and then as a jail attendant. He graduated from the Houston police academy in 1994.

As a member of the department’s Southeast Gang Task Force, Johnson earned two Lifesaving Awards and one Medal of Valor from the state of Texas.

According to HPD, he rescued a physically challenged driver trapped in rising floodwaters in January 1998.

That same year he rescued mentally challenged people trapped inside of a burning house, HPD said.

Johnson, who was 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighed nearly 300 pounds, served on the officers’ union board of directors.

“He was big and he was intimidating-looking, but he was as gentle as a baby bear,” said Hans Marticiuc, union president.

Officer Johnson is survived by his wife, HPD Officer Joslyn Johnson, and their five children, ages 14 to 19.

Drunken driver gets 13 years for fatal wreck
‘For my son’s life, it is not enough’

By Scott Rothschild

June 30, 2006

Topeka — When Victor Anzua-Torres asked the family of Ryan Ostendorf, the man he killed, for forgiveness, Ryan’s father turned his back.

“He has no right to speak to me,” Robert Ostendorf said later.

Advertisement

Anzua-Torres, 29, was sentenced Thursday to prison for 13 years and nine months for driving drunk and crashing his car into one driven by Ryan Ostendorf, who was 28, a paramedic and Kansas University student who dreamed of being a doctor.

The sentencing capped an emotional hearing where Ryan’s family, friends and co-workers spoke about his compassion, helpfulness and bright future, and how Anzua-Torres’ actions wrecked the lives of many.

The crash occurred the night of Dec. 5, 2005, on U.S. Highway 40 near Shawnee Heights Road.

Ostendorf was driving to work at American Medical Response. Many of his co-workers responded to the accident, rendering aid to Anzua-Torres and others at the scene.

‘An enormous hole’

Anzua-Torres had a blood-alcohol level of 0.26 percent, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08, authorities said. He had no driver’s license, had a prior drunken-driving arrest and had been deported as an illegal immigrant once before.

He was driving a Cadillac Escalade east in the westbound lane when he struck Ostendorf’s Jeep Cherokee.

“My family has an enormous hole where Ryan’s life ought to be,” said Ryan’s mother, Jo Ann Ostendorf, of Gothenburg, Neb.

She wore Ryan’s lab coat from KU as she spoke in the Shawnee County courtroom.

She said Ryan was a biology student at KU and planned on being a cardiologist.

“He wanted to mend broken hearts and he died of one,” she said, adding that KU granted him a degree after his death. The mother said she would miss her son’s bear hugs and smile. “I will never hear him say, ‘I love you Mama.’”

Meagan Kennedy, Ryan’s fiance who also is a paramedic, said Ryan was her “soul mate and love of my life.”

“You left all of us with holes in our hearts that can never be filled,” she said to Anzua-Torres.

Anzua-Torres frequently looked down during the statements, sometimes dabbing tears from his eyes as an interpreter translated for him.

Speaking through the interpreter, Anzua-Torres asked the family to forgive him and said he felt remorse for Ryan’s death.

“I never wanted this to happen,” he said, sometimes reading from a handwritten sheet of notebook paper. “I ask forgiveness with all my heart for the pain I have caused.”

Maximum penalty

Shawnee County Assistant Dist. Atty. Karen Wittman sought the maximum penalty for Anzua-Torres.

“He set out to hurt somebody that night,” she said. A friend had tried to drive, but although Anzua-Torres was drunk, he demanded that he drive to show everyone how “bad” he was, she said.

“On that day, you can’t get any more selfish than what he was,” she said.

Shawnee County District Court Judge Nancy Parrish sentenced Anzua-Torres to the maximum for the reckless second-degree murder charge: 11 years and six months.

The remaining time on his sentence was due to additional charges related to the incident including driving under the influence and not having a driver’s license.

Parrish ordered the sentences to run consecutively. Earlier, Anzua-Torres’ public defender, Richard Jones, requested that the sentences for the various offenses run at the same time.

But Parrish declined.

“You have really exhibited a flagrant disregard of our laws,” she told Anzua-Torres.

She noted he had ignored an order to receive treatment after his previous drunken-driving conviction. He also had been deported in 2000 and been arrested for several other offenses, including possession of drug paraphernalia.

After the hearing, Jo Ann Ostendorf said she appreciated that Parrish gave Anzua-Torres the maximum sentence on the murder charge, but added, “For my son’s life, it is not enough.”

I was living in Atlanta at the time .

Three children were playing in the parking lot of the Chastain Apartments in Sandy Springs early Monday evening when a red car with a wobbly wheel drove through.
Jordin Paulder, a 9-year-old boy with chubby cheeks, called out to the car’s passengers to tell them of the bad tire.
Jordin didn’t mean to insult anybody, he just thought they should know, witnesses told police.
But the car stopped. A man got out and slammed an ax into Jordin’s face. Emergency workers were afraid to remove the ax during the helicopter flight to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite hospital, where Jordin died. [Boy, 9, hacked to death, 6/7/06, Atlanta Journal-Constitution]

_________________________________________________________

Eighteen-year-old Min Soon Chang never had a chance. The UNC Charlotte freshman was struck head-on by a drunk illegal alien driving at an estimated 100 miles per hour on the wrong side of Interstate 485. Min was described as outgoing by family and friends, and was enrolled as a pre-business student.
The illegal alien identified himself as Jorge Hernandez, 35, and said he didn’t have an address. Police said that he had driven 20 miles on the wrong side of the highway, and other drivers described having close calls. One of the first police officers on the accident scene was C.L. Amaral, who described Hernandez as smelling strongly of alcohol and “totally out of it.”
Hernandez has been charged with driving while impaired and involuntary manslaughter.

U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., is working on legislation that would strengthen penalties against illegal immigrants who are convicted of DWI. She became vocal about the issue when Scott Gardner, a Gaston County teacher, was killed in July by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk.
On Friday, she commented on “another bright young life lost.”
“I hope that this — as far as our committees are concerned — will make a difference,” Myrick said. “This is just another example of why we need the legislation.” ["Illegal immigrant charged in fatal wreck"]

Update 11/21: Now that Hernandez has sobered up, he has admitted his status: “Driver in crash says he’s illegal”. He describes himself as an agricultural worker who has been here three years.

Trooper Brian Huffstickler of the N.C. Highway Patrol said Hernandez also could face second-degree murder charges if police find out he has prior DWI convictions.
“He has blown all safe driving rules out the window,” Huffstickler said.

Harvest of death on the Eastern ShoreArticles

By Bill Burke, Virginia-Piolot, October 10, 2005

Rogue vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers have been responsible for a string of deadly accidents on the Eastern Shore. Two people were killed and two injured when this Ford Escort driven by a Hispanic farm worker ran a stop sign Oct. 1 in Accomack County.

The Ford Escort was racing north on rural Seaside Road, its occupants headed home from a wedding, when it ran a stop sign at 55 mph.

The driver of a Ford F-150 traveling east through the intersection never saw the Escort, police said.

The T-bone crash killed the driver of the Escort, Rene Leyva-Perez, and 4-year-old Daniel Salazar, who was in the back seat. Daniel’s pregnant mother, Marina Salazar, and the driver of the pickup were injured.

When police arrived, they discovered that Leyva-Perez had no auto insurance or driver’s license – only a laminated ID card issued by the tomato-packing plant where he worked – and that the car was registered to a woman in Chesapeake and had Michigan plates.

ACCIDENT TIMELINE:

The 13 fatal accidents involving Hispanic workers on the Eastern Shore since 2002 have killed 18 people. In all but two incidents, the car that caused the accident had out-of-state plates.

In the Escort’s wreckage, they found empty cans of Modelo Especial – acclaimed in Mexico as “the elite of beers.”…

Since 2002, more than 90 people have been injured and 18 killed on the Eastern Shore in accidents involving Hispanic workers driving rogue vehicles.

The fatalities represent about one-fourth of the 71 highway deaths on the Eastern Shore in that period, even though the year-round Hispanic population makes up only 5 percent of the region’s 51,000 residents. Those numbers swell during tomato-picking season, from July through early November, when most of the fatalities occurred.

Accidents like the one on Oct. 1 have helped make the 77-mile stretch of U.S. 13 from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to the Maryland state line one of the most treacherous highways in Virginia. In 2003, the fatality rate – deaths per miles driven – on that span of U.S. 13 was more than four times the rates on Interstates 64, 81 and 95 in Virginia.

In all but three of the fatal accidents in which Hispanics were at the wheel, the drivers had no insurance. In most cases, the vehicles had no inspection stickers, the drivers carried no license and alcohol was a factor. The vast majority of the victims in the fatalities were Hispanic….

Tennessee plates

The state of Tennessee appears to be an enabler for many of the illegal drivers.

Up and down the Eastern Shore, in the work camps and housing complexes where migrants and year-round laborers live, Tennessee plates abound. Eastern Shore law enforcers suspect there is a flourishing black market for Tennessee tags….

Tennessee does not require identification or proof of insurance when a vehicle is titled and plates are issued, as long as the motorist pays cash. Most states require identification or proof of insurance; Virginia requires both.

Tennessee state Sen. Bill Ketron said his state’s legislature has failed to close the loophole because of pressure from the powerful auto insurance industry, which he says “wants to be able to cherry-pick who they sell to,” rather than being forced to insure high-risk drivers. He plans to introduce a bill during the next legislative session, which begins in January, that would toughen titling and registration requirements….

…on the Eastern Shore, “Somebody is making it very easy for these drivers to get Tennessee tags,” Annis said. “It’s all very fishy.”

And deadly. In the 13 fatal accidents since 2002 involving Hispanic workers, six vehicles bore Tennessee tags….

Worker charged in attack on teenConstruction worker accused of severely beating 15-year-old girl who ignored his whistle.

Date published: 8/18/2005

By KEITH EPPS

A 15-year-old girl was severely beaten Tuesday evening in what police described as an unprovoked attack by a construction worker.

The girl was treated at Mary Washington Hospital, where she received about 30 stitches for injuries to her face and the back of her head, according to Robin Kocher, the new public information officer for the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.

The girl also suffered a fractured bone on the right side of her face and a broken nose.

The suspect, 28-year-old Jose D. Ramirez of Prince William County, was charged with aggravated malicious wounding and abduction with the intent to defile. He was placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond. Both charges carry potential life sentences.

Kocher said the incident occurred about 7:15 p.m. in the 200 block of Olde Greenwich Drive in Spotsylvania, near the Fredericksburg city limits. Ramirez, who police said is an illegal alien from El Salvador, was working on a townhouse there as part of a construction crew, Kocher said.

Police said he whistled at the girl as she walked by, then became enraged after the girl did not respond. Ramirez is accused of then running after the girl and pummeling her in the face and head, Kocher said.

According to authorities, the attacker then tried to drag the victim, fleeing into some woods only after a co-worker yelled for him to stop.

Fredericksburg police Officer Steve Johnson found Ramirez a short time later outside nearby 227 Farrell Lane, city police spokesman Jim Shelhorse said. Shelhorse said the suspect refused to comply with Johnson’s demand to get on the ground, even though the officer had his gun drawn.

Other officers came to Johnson’s aid and finally got Ramirez into custody with the help of a Taser. The city officer then turned the suspect over to Spotsylvania deputies, since the initial attack was in the county.

Police said the girl did nothing to provoke the attack and they aren’t sure what triggered the suspect’s action.

Prior to being taken to jail, Ramirez gave a statement to Spotsylvania detectives at the scene of the attack.

Ramirez reportedly has been traveling around the state doing work for various construction companies, Kocher said.

In Lynn, Massaschusetts, 16-year-old Amy Dumas was shot dead Monday night (May 16) during a home invasion as she tried to protect her wheelchair-bound father, Robert S. Finnerty, who was also killed. Apparently four Asian gang members forced themselves into the family’s apartment and shot father and daughter several times. Finnerty was a cancer survivor who was left using a wheelchair after a stroke. Robert’s wife Judith Finnerty was in the apartment but was unhurt.
Two men were quickly arrested by police. The accused are “Cambodian-born men” (no further status mentioned) and belong to a local gang, the “Oriental Boys.” Two other gangsters are being sought in the killing. At least one of those arrested, Chon Son, “is well known to local police.”

DENVER — Police said Tuesday they had identified a suspect in the weekend slaying of an off-duty police officer working security at a dance hall.The man was identified as Raul Garcia-Gomez, 19, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. He said Gomez’s whereabouts were unknown and that he was considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Detective Donald R. Young, 43, a married father of two and a recipient of the police Medal of Honor, was shot three times from behind early Sunday, police said. Detective John H. Bishop was treated for a minor gunshot wound in his back and released.

The motive was not immediately known. Mayor John Hickenlooper called the attack “cold-blooded murder” and police Chief Gerry Whitman called it an ambush.

Young and Bishop were off-duty but in uniform. Both were shot at about 1 a.m. Sunday while providing security outside a rental hall often used for birthday and baptism parties. Police said two other officers who were nearby rushed to the aid of the fallen detectives and saw a man fleeing with what appeared to be a weapon.

Jackson said the suspect may be driving a white, four-door Dodge Neon. CrimeStoppers offered a $50,000 reward for information.

Young, a 12-year veteran, graduated from the police academy in December 1993 and had worked with the vice-narcotics and domestic violence units. He was assigned to the fugitive-bomb squad when he died.

Mary Nagle must be added to the list of Americans murdered by illegal aliens. Had her family been more discriminating about whom they hired, she might still be alive today, because the Guatemalan man who raped and killed Mary in her bedroom was painting the Nagle house in Rockland County, New York.
Not only did Douglas Herrera apparently kill Mary Nagle in her own home, he followed up his brutal crime by using her cell phone to call 51 of her friends and family, sometimes to brag on the killing and to threaten them as well. He was arrested a few hours after the murder.
Mary Nagle was a 42-year-old mother of two young children. She had a master’s degree from Columbia University in finance and marketing and was employed by Volvo Leasing as the director of marketing at the time of her death.
The New York Times reports that local people are now reluctant to hire foreigners as a result of the murder. Oh, really…

Mr. Sandoval happened to know Mr. Herrera. He hired him to paint several rooms in his own house.
“He was quiet; he was a good worker,” Mr. Sandoval said. “I left for lunch and when I got back he had finished the room.”
Still, Mr. Sandoval said, if the charges against Mr. Herrera are true, he shudders at the memory.
“I have a 15-year-old daughter and he was in my house,” he said. “It’s terrible.”

“Family Values”: Illegal Aliens and Their Sex Crimes

R. Cort KirkwoodWhatever President Bush says about the “family values” of the growing horde of illegal Mexican immigrants, chilling newspaper accounts and cold data tell a different tale.

On April 29, 2005, an illegal alien from Guatemala, Ronald Douglas Herrera Castellanos, was power washing a deck at the Nagle home in New City, New York. In her bedroom, Mary Nagle, 42, a wife and mother of two children, readied herself for a tennis match. Later, a prosecutor said, what police found in the bedroom was reminiscent of the Manson murders, “a scene out of a horror movie.” Herrera slashed Nagle with a green-handled box cutter, cutting off a piece of her earlobe, and nearly amputated a finger as she tried to defend herself. Hanks of hair lay about the blood-spattered scene. Herrera raped Nagle for 30 minutes, beat her “almost beyond recognition,” one newspaper reported, and mutilated her genitals. Then, he changed into her husband’s clothes and, using her cell phone, called 51 of her friends and relatives to threaten them or describe the deeds in pornographic detail.

Mary Nagle was just one victim of illegal-alien criminals that year. Two others were children. In December, in Fontana, California, an illegal alien kidnapped, raped, and sodomized a four-year-old girl, then tossed her over a six-foot wall. The Press-Enterprise of Riverside reported that, in addition to suffering three facial fractures, “the child required surgery to repair damage caused by the rape and sodomy.” In Gainsville, Florida, in June that year, an illegal alien, whose nom de crime is “Revolver,” raped and strangled four-year-old Esmerelda Nava.

Illegal aliens are also partial to gang rape, as an 18-year-old woman in Immokalee, Florida, found out in October 2005. Fourteen illegal aliens dragged her from her home into a residence across the street. They choked her until she passed out, then awakened her by pouring alcohol into her mouth. After the feral gang raped her, they pushed her out the door. They arrogantly stayed at the scene until police arrived to arrest them.

In 2002, a gang of illegals raped and sexually tortured a woman for three hours near Shea Stadium in New York before police interrupted the attack. They ravaged her like a “pack of wild wolves,” she wrote in a letter to New York Supreme Court Justice Randall Eng.

And in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in August 2002, an illegal immigrant, Maximiliano C. Esparza, attacked two nuns as they were walking along a bike path, praying the rosary. Head-butting one of them, he used their rosaries to choke them while he raped them. When he was finished killing Sr. Helen Chaska, the sacramental was embedded in her neck. Liquored up at a strip bar before the crime, Esparza, like many illegals, had a record of violent crime and had been deported. Just months before Esparza raped and murdered Sister Helen, the Border Control had detained and released him.

In town after town, city after city, state after state, these are the sorts of crimes that illegal aliens commit on a regular basis, along with drunk driving, hit-and-run homicide, robbery, and murder. Yet, even as local newspapers and television stations file near-daily reports, the national news media ignore the trend.

Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute conducted a year-long study of 1,500 illegals who committed sex crimes between 1999 and 2006. Assuming an illegal population of 12 million, and using immigration and prison records, she calculated that two percent of apprehended illegal aliens are sex criminals, meaning some 240,000 illegal-alien sex criminals are now in the United States. And “this translates to 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally per day.” The 1,500 criminals attacked 5,999 people, about four victims each. If 240,000 illegal-alien sex criminals are here, with four victims each, Kauflin calculates 960,000 victims over the seven years studied. In short, thanks to our government’s failure to enforce immigration laws, illegal-alien sex fiends likely victimized one million people between 1999 and 2006.

Thirty-five percent of the criminals were child molesters, 24 percent were rapists, and 41 percent were sex and serial murderers. Eighty-one percent were on booze or dope when they committed their crimes. And, in 22 percent of the sex crimes, illegal aliens attacked the physically and mentally disabled.

More maddening is that almost all these crimes were preventable, had the federal government done its constitutional duty. Sixty-three percent of the illegal-alien sex fiends Kauflin studied were deported for another offense, and “there was an average of 3 years of committing crimes such as DUI, assaults, or drug related offenses prior to being apprehended for a sexual offense.” In short, elected federal officials, including Chief Executive George W. Bush, are responsible for this crime wave.

If those numbers aren’t disturbing enough, consider this: Since its “Operation Predator” began in 2003, the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau has arrested more than 9,300 child molesters nationwide. In March 2005, for instance, ICE collared 21 illegal-alien sex criminals in White Plains, New York. One was an illegal-alien Mexican who raped a 14-year-old girl. Another Mexican stalked a 13-year-old, and a Guatemalan illegal attempted to rape a 7-year-old. About 85 percent of the nationwide total, ICE reported, were “foreign national sex offenders whose crimes make them removable from the United States. To date, more than 5,000 of these predators have been deported.” This is hardly a victory in the war against sex crimes. If Kauflin’s data are correct, the government has at least 235,000 to go, most of them Mexicans.

Among the deportees was Domingo Penaloza-Cabrera, a Mexican who jumped the border in 1999. In 2001, this caballero offered to drive a woman home from a Minneapolis night club. Instead, he took her to a party she did not want to attend, then drove her to the Mississippi River and raped her. “Penaloza-Cabrera then grabbed a metal pipe,” ICE reported,

dragged the woman from his vehicle to the river and repeatedly struck her in the head with the pipe, yelling, “I want to kill you. You are going to die.” Penaloza-Cabrera then held the woman’s head under water four times. The fourth time, the woman went limp, feigning death. Penaloza-Cabrera left her in the river and fled . . .

Amazingly, the victim survived, but this tale again suggests the magnitude of the near-crisis with which state and local authorities, not to mention American citizens, are contending. “Between Oct. 1, 2005 and March 31, 2006,” the agency said in its release on Penaloza-Cabrera, “ICE deported 1,423 illegal aliens from the five-state area” of Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Iowa.

Of that number, 627 had criminal convictions in addition to being immigration law violators. During fiscal year 2005, ICE deported 3,060 illegal aliens from the same geographic area, 1,368 of them with criminal convictions.

And, compounding the insult to U.S. citizens, many illegal aliens are registered sex offenders, meaning the authorities have released them, instead of deporting them, when they finished their prison time.
The obvious question is why so many illegal aliens, Mexicans in particular, are disposed to commit sex crimes. The problem isn’t just miscreant Mexicans; it is Mexico’s twisted, macho-misogynist culture of drinking and rape.

Recall Kauflin’s report that more than 80 percent of the sex offenders were drunk or high. Then, add federal data and several investigative reports that show that the number of DUI arrests among Hispanics is disproportionate to their numbers in the population—a fact that Mothers Against Drunk Driving, police, and Hispanic observers themselves attribute, not surprisingly, to Mexican and Latino cultural attitudes. Many Hispanic men are problem drinkers.

Mary Jordan, a reporter for the Washington Post, covered the topic of rape and Old Mexico in a Pulitzer Prize-winning story published in 2002, “In Mexico, an Unpunished Crime: Rape Victims Face Widespread Cultural Bias in Pursuit of Justice.” Mexico abides a quaint little cultural practice called rapto—kidnapping a woman or girl to rape her. In Mexico, Jordan reported, stealing a cow is more serious than raping a woman. Even Mexican police gang-rape women and get away with it; a 16-year-old girl committed suicide after one such case. “In 90 percent of the cases of rape,” the girl’s mother said, “the Mexican police blame the women. In the few cases where they know the man is guilty, they let him ‘fix’ it with money.”

“A review of criminal laws in all 31 Mexican states,” Jordan reported,

showed that many states require that if a 12-year-old girl wants to accuse an adult man of statutory rape, she must first prove she is “chaste and pure.” Nineteen of the states require that statutory rape charges be dropped if the rapist agrees to marry his victim.

In short, raping a 12-year-old south of the border is just fine, as long as you “love” her, because “laws in most Mexican states define rapto as a case where a man kidnaps a woman not for ransom, but with the intent of marrying her or to satisfy his ‘erotic sexual desire.’” When Jordan asked some small-town “elders” in the Mexican state of Guerrero about rapto, they feigned ignorance, then laughed when she explained it to them. “A rapist would probably get a few hours in the local jail, or he might have to pay the victim’s family a $10 or $20 fine,” they told Jordan. But “all would be forgotten if he and the victim got married.” One Mexican legislator called it “romantic.”

Many of his brothers who have crossed the border share this opinion. And too few in the open-borders lobby, not least their Gran Patrón at La Casa Blanca, are willing to admit it. That would amount to “racial profiling,” you see. We used to call it good police work (and, technically, it’s cultural profiling), but, whatever you call it, importing millions of illegal aliens means importing their cultural practices, habits, and attitudes, which, for women and children across the United States, has meant not only the savage embrace of an illegal alien, or a gang of them, but the searing pain of a metal pipe or the murderous slash of a box-cutter.

Yet these are the people and culture our President wants to import because of their “family values.” One wonders what Mary Nagle would think of Herrera’s “family values.”

Too bad we can’t ask her.
