A quote carried over from our friends at Michellemalkin.com:

“The last suspect to be arrested in connection to the execution-style killings of three college students pleaded not guilty on Tuesday during his first court appearance.

Standing with his hands shackled in front of him in a white collared shirt and light colored pants, Melvin Jovel spoke softly and answered several questions from the judge, including whether he has a green card, to which he answered no.

Jovel said he had no other charges pending, was not on probation and had been living with his family in Elizabeth for the past five months. He confirmed that he had lived in an apartment complex in Newark’s Ivy Hill section across the street from the scene of the murders. At least two of the other suspects lived in the same complex…Assistant Essex County Prosecutor Thomas A. McTigue said Jovel’s immigration status is “unclear.” Though Jovel, who authorities have said is from Honduras, told the judge on Tuesday that he does not have a Social Security number, McTigue said a passport was seized from Jovel when he was arrested.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on Jovel, ICE spokesman Michael Gilhooly said Tuesday. A detainer means that if Jovel made bail, he would be turned over to federal authorities.”

On Fox News Geraldo tries to make illegals a non issue here
“RIVERA: Five of the six alleged perpetrators in the Newark massacre are citizens or green card holders. So why is the status of one of them the be all and end all in this case?”

I’m not sure which 5 he is referring to or what he considers to be legal status, but had the laws been enforced throughout these 6 would not have been in New Jersey committing crimes in the illegal immigrant fed gang MS13.

This is one of the ones Geraldo thinks qualifies as “legal”
“Rodolfo Antonio Godinez Gomez entered the U.S. from Nicaragua on Oct. 24, 1992. He was ordered deported on May 5, 1993, but it isn’t clear if he ever left the country, according to Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontura. “It seems to me that he was illegal,” he said.”

He was deported, but never left and later became legal magically?

And we have covered above that Jovel was illegal
“Jovel, who is from Honduras, told the judge he does not have a Social Security number or a green card, but his immigration status remains unclear, prosecutors said.”

These men may have been legal by Geraldo’s definition, which seems to mean they are “getting away with it” so they are legal. Geraldo goes on to say the legal status of murderers is irrelevant.

I’d say this video differs in opinion, since not one of these people should be walking US streets and enjoying US freedom by law.

If you prevent the cause, you prevent the effect.

You can learn more about the loopholes that allow these criminals to walk the streets and execute American’s in new Jersey and your town here on Michelle Malkin’s site where she writes a great article on the popular loopholes for MS13 gang members.

Geraldo rivera thinks illegals should not be removed from US streets and should continue to live as criminals on your streets
