The news has been full of the recent shooting of an illegal alien named Oscar Gallegos by Santa Anna police. FoxNews:

More than 50 shots were fired between Santa Ana police officers and 33-year-old Oscar Gabriel Gallegos on Wednesday, Santa Ana Police Chief Paul Walters said.

Gallegos was a suspect in the Dec. 22 shootings of two Long Beach officers during a traffic stop.

It is obvious that the police did the right thing defending their lives when fired upon by this criminal illegal alien. Gallegos was killed during the exchange of gunfire.

What you don't read in the first few paragraphs, and in fact, do not find out until reading to the bottom of the article is that Gallegos was an illegal alien (the article says illegal "immigrant") and had previously been deported THREE TIMES. He also had a rap sheet dating back to 1990.

Gallegos was an illegal immigrant who had been deported three times and had a criminal record dating back to 1990, including arrests for drug offenses and assault with a deadly weapon, authorities said.

Two Long Beach police officers are in the hospital, shot by this criminal. They are listed as critical but stable. These two officers, Abe Yap and Roy Wade would not be there now if we enforced our borders to keep these criminals from entering our country on a lark.

I pray for the speedy and full recovery of both of these officers.

It is regrettable that the Democrats that will soon control Congress will back off from the commitment to secure our borders and protect the American people from the criminals that routinely, and illegally, enter our country.
