Here is another heartwarming example of how our immigration system has gone bad. This one involves a Pakistani cab driver, Sohail Khan, whose female passenger passes out in his cab. What to do? Why, rape her, of course. That's his right, isn't it? And he's only getting five years in prison so the victim won't have to come back to Louisiana to testify???

I guess the reason this puke can't be deported back to Lahore is because he is now a citizen.
By the way: How come all these bad apples out of Pakistan seem to come from Lahore? It must be a real pit.
OK. Let's get serious here. You ask, "Fousesquawk. Why do you have to point out that this rapist was from Pakistan or even an immigrant? Couldn't an American cab driver have done the same?"
Yes, but it underlines the point that something that has been so great for America (immigration) has gone wrong in a hurry. That is not to say that most immigrants in the US are undesirable. Most are good folks and contributing. However, there are far too many who we never should have let in this country-like Sohail Khan. This is a failure of our State Department consular officers, immigration authorities, and ultimately, the officials and politicians who set their policies. We the People are the losers because the above people don't care about us. They don't care about the uillegal alien criminals who are pouring across our border along with the poor folks just looking for work to survive.
The result is that we will continue to have more Kate Steinles and the young woman who was raped in New Orleans.
Lahore is a real pit, from all I've read. There are probably areas of Pakistan where cab drivers don't do that.
ReplyDeleteHaving a background in law enforcement, you ought to know that if the witness doesn't come back to testify, then there sometimes can be no conviction. So it may be the best the prosecutor could get. Five years is not nothing. It can be quite painful.
