Bulls-eye!
My son was killed by an illegal in June of 2023 as a pedestrian in Springfield Oregon. The illegal had been drinking, he ran my son over with his car and he ran. âHit and runâ then he proceeded to circle around 2 more times where my son laid in the street according to witnesses. He had 3 opportunities to stop and try to help my son and he didnât. My son died from his injuries. The man (21 year old WILBER ALEXANDER GRIJALVA ORTIZ) was arrested minutes later by the Springfield Police Department after spotting the vehicle in traffic. He was arrested, an interpreter had to be brought in just to question Mr. Ortiz because he didnât speak any English. He was released that same day!! Pending an investigation. Our family could not believe this guy was released. He killed someone, our son!! And they didnât hold this guy for one single day! Oregon law protected this illegal every step of the way. As expected, when the investigation was completed which took approximately 3 months, the illegal disappeared. Nobody in the Springfield Police Department has made any effort to find this guy other than issue a warrant for his arrest and they denied a request by me to obtain any public records on this illegal stating that the âcase is still openâ. Who knows if this illegal is still in the country but we the family are devastated by the loss of my 34 year old son who was loved by all. The Biden administration is responsible for my sons death for letting this illegal in, and the State of Oregon is responsible for letting this guy run free. No Justice for my son, myself, his mother, his sister and everyone who loved him. Iâm praying that somehow my sons murderer because thats what he did, is caught through President Trumps mass deportation program and not deported! No, I want him to face Justice right here and not just sent back to his country.

Why would we jail them? We must deport in an organized, efficient manner. We must also have proactive policy in place to ensure they do not re-enter our country illegally again. They must follow our immigration laws. We are in desperate need of an immigration enforcement team that is robust, smart, courageous and dedicated to upholding our Constitutional laws.

Scott: Very sorry to hear of your loss. I, too, agree that simply deporting the illegal would be wholly inadequate.

This is commonly repeated - âdoing the work that no one else wants to doâ - usually pointing to âpicking cropsâ but it is factually inaccurate. There is already a migratory farm laborer visa that is easily obtained for that work. The catch is you donât stay. The people come in during harvest and leave afterwards to move to the next harvest. There is an entire circuit between North and South America as they move between countries to perform this work. The picking crops bit doesnât make alot of sense because there is nowhere in the US where they are needed for picking crops all year round - if there are (southern CA or Florida), certainly not in the numbers to cause the wholesale depression of wages.
Where they are working are in places like restaurants, small manufacturing, and in meat packing facilities. If they suddenly werenât here tomorrow, wages would adjust to attract people to work there. There are places in South Dakota, for example, where McDonalds was advertising $15-20/hr to start with no experience because the area was experiencing a boom and they needed to compete with the other available jobs. Now if we got the government out of the job of competing for the worker by paying them to not work, youâd have more labor participation. Our Labor Participation Rate is horrible, with government being the biggest driver for these low numbers.

This is fascinating. Of 445 replies to this topic, there is apparently only one reference to 8 USD 1324 (by James R Cressey). As far as I can tell, no one has replied to it. Yet this is the one comment that makes all the others look irrelevant. This is clearly the best idea. How is there anything else that needs to be said on the topic? Has anyone come up with a better idea?
Dear Scott. My heart aches for you, your wife, daughter and entire family for the loss of your son. The Lord knows the depth of your sorrow.
2 Corinthians 1:4 âwho comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.â
America must restore law and order so we can live in freedom without tyranny from dangerous illegal immigrants who enter our country as convicted criminals.

All immigrants including visas need to be deported. Americans are losing more jobs due to visas than to illengal immigrants. WAKE UP

Iâm with you on everything except further incentivising and subsidizing single motherhood, divorce and more societal decay that goes along with that. . Where does this compulsion to conflate two very disparate issues, not only two very seperate issues, but two issues that absolutely do not belong together come from?
Illegals are parasites on the American people, and single mothers are too. You should edit your proposal and remove that portion.
I would also like to add the homes that were given to the illegal immigrants should be sold and the money given to the police entities to use to deport them. I am in agreement with your proposal.
