Yet Another Cop Killed by an Illegal Alien
Here's a problem Comrade Obama will soon solve:
The gunman who fatally shot a Houston police officer in the back before being gunned down by another officer during an undercover sting late Tuesday is believed to have been an illegal immigrant from Mexico, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
Robert Rutt, agent in charge of the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement office of criminal investigations in Houston, confirmed that Houston police had asked for assistance in determining the immigration status of the gunman shot to death in a drug store parking lot after officer Henry Canales, 42, was fatally wounded.
Preliminary autopsy results show Canales was shot in the back, prosecutors said today.
"Based purely on name and date of birth checks we ran, we find no records of him in our databases, and him being born in Mexico it appears he was here illegally," Rutt said. …
Rutt said a fingerprint check on three companions of the gunman — arrested shortly after Canales was slain — showed they are in the country illegally.
Illegal aliens shooting police officers has been an ongoing problem in Houston.
Since the murder of Houston police officer Rodney Johnson in 2006 by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record, the union has pushed for more authority to question residents about their citizenship during criminal investigations. In March, veteran HPD officer Rick Salter was shot in the face while serving a search warrant on a previously deported criminal immigrant, injuries that have left him blind in one eye and paralyzed on one side.
However, Chairman Zero is on the case. He is "laying the political groundwork for sweeping immigration legislation" — meaning that soon amnesty will erase the distinction between law-abiding immigrants and the criminals who wreak havoc after illegally sneaking into our country. Abracadabra: no more police shot by illegal aliens!
On a tip from Byron.

Note the wording of the story, the illegal 'fatally shot' the LEO before being 'gunned down' by another LEO.

Yet another tragedy at the hands of an illegal criminal alien.
A few years ago, a Denver police officer was killed by an illegal immigrant, Raul Gomez Garcia (aka as Raul Garcia Gomez). He fled back to Mexico with the help of friends and relatives who helped hide him on his journey back to Mexico. The state of Colorado had a heck of a time in dealing with Mexican authorities. The extradition "deal" worked out was that he could not be sentenced to the death penalty or even first degree murder if convicted. He was convicted of second dgree murder and first degree attempted murder and now is serving an 80 year sentence in prison. This is despite the fact that under Colorado law, murdering a police officer is a capital offense, punishable by execution or life in prison without opportunity of parole. He had also worked at a restaurant owned, at that time, by Denver mayor John Hickenlooper (more like Chickenpooper). He used forged forms of identification to obtain work. He killed the officer a few hours after he left work. Gomez attended a party for a young girl at which he was not welcome. The party's host told him to leave. The Denver Police officer, Donnie Young was working off duty at the party as a security officer with a Denver Police Detective John Bishop. They escorted Gomez out of the party at the host's request. He returned and shot the two Denver police officers, killing officer Young and wounding Officer Bishop. Gomez had been stopped three times by police for traffic violations, yet remained in the United States.
My sympathy to Officer's Canale's, family and fellow law enforcement officers everywhere.
Can anything be learned from these tragedies? These are just a few of many. I'm sure Obama will take care of things.

A police officer is killed, probably leaving a family devastated, and I see comments of hatred towards the officer. What has this country come to? How did we become so callous and cold?
When did we become a country of haters? I just hope the officer's family never sees some of the tasteless, cruel comments posted on this site. And for those who posted them, you need to take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are so cold-hearted. But I know you won't because that's just the way you are.

Here's the latest:
"Officer’s killer no stranger to police: Deported once, he’d had several HPD traffic stops"
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6498386.html
This is what comes of Houston's "sanctuary city" policy.

bohica, they must have been some REALLY foul comments for VH to take them down... I've only seen him do that a few times in the 4 or so years I've been reading Moonbattery.
VH, did you have to remove something? Or is bohica just lacking in reading comprehension skills?

hiram,
I guess the reference is to the sarcastic Host of Gallstones comment.

The only way our government will even think of going after these illegal alien parasites is if they kill someone “important”. Whomever that might be.
I’m SO sick of these illegal aliens. In Southern California they’re like cockroaches. The men are creeps. They don’t care if you’re married or single, they leer, hiss, whistle. They’re the horniest bastards alive. Now if they looked like George Clooney, that might be different, but most of them look like orangutans.
Allowing these third world over-breeders into Southern California is like bringing Cro-Magnon man to western civilization. That’s how they behave in Mexico (as we all know Mexican authorities and politicians) are painfully corrupt so they feel that since Uncle Sam (aka Sucker) allows these vermin in.
I’m not even remotely polite to these people in public. We have so many self-hating whites in California who feel guilty for being successful and they feel cow towing to these people somehow evens out their karma.
The last time I was in an ER room was a county hospital in So Cal. I was the only English speaking person in that waiting room, no kidding.
I’m ready with the pitchforks anytime now.

Texan As a matter of fact, I have both an undergraduate and a graduate degree so my reading and comprehension skills are just fine.
