Trial For Alledged Murderer Of Jamiel Shaw II Begins In Los Angeles

The tragedy of the Jamiel Shaw II murder grows. Not only was this young man murdered for completely senseless and pointless reasons, his accused murderer is a walking billboard for immigration reform.

Pedro Espinosa is still a teenager himself, but he is also in the United States illegally. His crime is eerily similar to the murders of three black college students and the severe injuring of a fourth student by illegal immigrants in New Jersey a few months ago.

I can't support the racism that surrounds most political discussions on immigration reform. I think people should have the right to immigrate to America and pursue the American dream, but if you are going to become part of the American nightmare like Mr. Espinosa, then I have to draw a line.

The sad truth is that Mr. Espinosa should not have been in Los Angeles to murder Jamiel Shaw II in the first place. It wasn't his"turf" to be defending with a handgun, it's was Jamiel Shaw's right as an American citizen to freely walk home without fear.
