To all the folks that want open borders, here's a chance to prove you really believe in what you say. Invite this guy into your home with you and your family until his trial come up. He's probably a great guy that came over looking for work no one else will do, right?

He is here for a better life, but the fellow he stabbed may not be having a better life.

These crimes are the worst. They should not be here.

life is cheap in Mexico. Over 3/4 of it's populated territory is under the control of drug cartels, complimented with the reckless indifference to human life that only such a culture could cultivate.

This is how these types of individuals handle disputes. They have the reasoning skills and judgement of rabid rodents, fighting over garbage scraps and should be dealt with accordingly.
