America Getting 9-11'd In Monthly Installments By Illegal Alien Gang Members

As a nation, we remember the horrible day nine years ago when thousands of innocent Americans, minding their own business, were murdered in a single morning by foreigners who commandeered airplanes.

But we're getting 9-11'd over and over again, in bits and pieces, by foreign gang members who enter the country illegally. They're murdering us in monthly installments.

Remember Chandra Levy? She was the Washington, D.C. intern working in Congressman Gary Condit's office. Her murderer, having confessed to the crime, is now on trial. The Washington Post reported today that he is "an illegal immigrant from El Salvador," one of whose three tattoos is "a symbol for the Mara Salvatrucha gang, or MS-13." Another of his tattoos resembles his famous victim, Chandra Levy. The third tattoo, on his scalp, depicts the devil.

Authorities arrested Levy's confessed murderer, not on the street, or in his home or a business, but "in a federal prison in Victorville," California, where he was already "serving a 10-year sentence . . . for assaulting two other women at knifepoint in Rock Creek Park."  He's trying to keep his confession out of evidence by saying his rights had been violated; he had confessed after the police lied to him about having DNA evidence.

Levy's murder was not an isolated event.  Gang members in our country illegally murder our fellow citizens regularly, without provocation.  Consider a few examples:

Jamiel Shaw, II was murdered outside his home by an illegal alien gang member who had just been released from jail, and who could have and should have been deported. Jamiel's mother was serving our country in Iraq at the time.

Danielle Bologna's husband and two sons were murdered by an illegal alien gang member in the MS-13 gang. The father and sons were driving home from a family picnic. The murderer says their car had blocked his briefly.

Three college students were murdered, and a fourth critically injured, by six illegal alien gang members who had first tried to rape the women students.

The list could go on and on. These are just some examples that received publicity.

We should absolutely remember 9-11. But more than that, we, as a nation, should take action to protect our citizens from preventable attacks by people who have no business being in the country in the first place.

We should, at a minimum, prohibit any state, county or city from granting "sanctuary city" protection to known gang members. Congress should pass, and the President should sign, a national version of Jamiel's Law.

We can agree to disagree about national policy on other illegal aliens. But when it comes to known gang members who are in the country illegally, and whom we could deport before they kill our children, our wives, our husbands and our neighbors, there should be no disagreement.

Connect the dots, pass Jamiel's Law, and stop letting gang members 9-11 us over and over.
