Build that wall so we can stop these tragedies.

Heh, you think the wall would stop these tragedies. How quaint.

Says “suspected” illegal immigrant twice both in headline and first paragraph. But by the 4th paragraph he “was an illegal immigrant from Mexico”.

No, he IS an illegal immigrant.

people who are also illegal immigrants. Story didn’t bother to mention that.

Several people were also arrested on suspicion of helping Arriaga evade law enforcement and lying to detectives about him, authorities said.

The suspect was an illegal immigrant from Mexico who has claimed to be involved with a criminal gang called the Sureños

DJT is proven right again when he said, "Mexico is not sending us their best".

That's some brilliant logic, comrade.

"the case highlighted the dangers of a California law passed in 2017 that placed limits on how closely law enforcement can cooperate with federal agents seeking to deport illegal immigrants arrested for crimes."

Pathetic that Democrats and anti-Trumpers refuse to acknowledge this. The lawmakers who passed this crap law need to be fired and sued for the damage that's been done.

Gustavo Perez Arriaga, 32, a Mexican national, was arrested in Bakersfield, a city less than 200 miles (320 km) south of Newman where the officer was shot on Wednesday, Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said at a news conference.

The shooting and manhunt in California's agricultural Central Valley entered the national debate over immigration, after Trump tweeted about it in his advocacy for a border wall and Christianson criticized California's sanctuary law for immigrants.

Arriaga is accused of shooting to death Newman police corporal Sonil Singh after Singh pulled him over on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The suspect, who exchanged fire with Singh, has claimed to be involved with a criminal gang called the Sureños and was trying to escape to Mexico, Christianson said.

Stanislaus County law enforcement officials have highlighted Singh's own background as a legal immigrant. The 33-year-old native of Fiji came to the United States to become a police officer, they said.

At least five people were arrested on suspicion of lying to investigators about Arriaga or helping him evade law enforcement, including some people at the Bakersfield home where he was arrested, authorities said.

Honest, law abiding, immigrants are always welcome to the U.S.. Illegal aliens who repeated violate U.S. laws are not. Unfortunately, Democrats prefer to advocate for the alleged rights of illegal aliens over the safety and welfare of U.S. citizens.

Maybe Trump should stop being a weak-ass then, and get Mexico to pay for that wall. Why do you suppose he's not doing that? He looks weak, since he previously said they would pay. Is there something to show he's not weak?

Time to put a $50 entrance fee on entering the USA per use.

99% of US immigrants, legal or not, aren't violent people. Most try to work hard and make a better life for their families. But a tiny fraction are just bad people. Arrest, trial, conviction, prison, deportation. Never allow them back. Period.

The US needs a law that any illegal immigrant breaking a law needs to be deported.

Saw in another story here that almost 14,000 children were caught "unaccompanied" by their parents illegally crossing the southern border this month. What kind of parents think doing that to their children is ok? I can't imagine sending my kids to a foreign country where they don't speak the language, especially one with so much violence like the USA.
