Illegal aliens convicted in Montgomery murder

With the conviction of Ramon Alvarado earlier this week, the latest chapter in a growing immigrants’ war on Washington came to an end. Ramon was convicted of murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit arson for his role in the attack of a grandmotherly figure who used to employ him and a cousin as day laborers.

After Jose Alvarado received a $75 check for work he completed at Lila Meizell’s home, around Thanksgiving 2008, he changed the check to $7,500 and cashed it. To cover up that crime, Jose paid his cousin, Ramon, to kill the woman. Alvarado forced his way inside the home grabbed the 83-year-old by the throat and slammed her into several pieces of furniture before pouring the gas and setting the fire, according to court documents. When the corpse was pulled from the home, Meizell appeared to have been burned alive.

Jose Alvarado’s wife, Ana Rodas pleaded guilty to a felony charge of being an accessory after the fact to murder.

The director of the Montgomery County jail identified the threesome as illegal aliens. They had no prior records. Of course, this heinous crime does not represent all Latinos or all immigrants. However, the question must be asked, What if the United States had tougher border protection?

    First of all walrus, what kind of dumbass are you? Look at the names. Jose Alvarado, Ramon Alvarado, Ana Rodas. While it makes NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER what country they are from, they are ILLEGALS FROM MEXICO, Now that you have been educated on your REALLY STUPID question, this all boils down to the fact that this elderly lady would STILL BE ALIVE TODAY if the border was secure. Plain and simple. While most people hate the thought of being incarcerated in a Mexican prison, these idiots are about to spend a really good life, according to their standards, behind bars for a very long time. It's just too bad that they don't have to worry about being wealthy to be able to survive in our prison system. It seems that money to survive is more of a deterrent in Mexico. Too bad we don't have that same kind of system here.

    Our government fails the most basic and primary task & duty of government, to protect this Nation and its Citizens from invasion and enforce its laws.
    Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV Section IV of our Constitution.
    This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
    Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbi

    Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," Hillary whined.
    But no mention, whines, concern or care that their refusal to stop the Massive Invasion of Illegal Aliens pouring across our borders or enforce our immigration laws that causes an estimated 25 Americans deaths per day and 10,s of thousands victims of Assault, Robberies, Rapes, Identify thief, and other assorted crimes committed by the invading horde of Illegal Aliens from Mexico on American citizens each year!
