h/t Jules for this:
The man suspected of kidnapping a 13-year-old boy and leaving him tied to a tree in the woods in a ransom scheme reportedly is an illegal alien who had already been deported once.
Police are searching for Vincente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno, 22, an illegal alien who has already been deported once, for the kidnapping of 13 year old Clay Moore at gun point. It's believed to be a ransom attempt but Moore escaped on his own.
Here is the AP's sanitized version of the suspect's background. picture here.
Beltran, a native of Mexico, had worked at the farm three years ago, but later became a laborer for an aluminum contractor, Bristow said.
And here's what didn't make it into the AP wire report. So much for the public's right to know.
Wells said obtaining the warrants took longer than expected due to the suspected kidnapper's multiple aliases. Beltran-Moreno is an undocumented immigrant who at one time was deported from the United States.

February 26, 2007 - 08:07 ET by Right Wing Attack DogWe can always count on illegal aliens to commit those crimes that American's don't want to bother with. I'm sure the illegal thug apologist's will soon rush to let us know that it's our fault for being insensitive, unkind, and most of all, mean-spirited.
No surprise! Criminal activi

Criminal activity of Illegals rarely gets reported in the NYC area newspapers.
In fact race is omitted whenever a suspect has yet to be caught.
So be on the lookout for a 5'7"-6'0" male medium build! Armed and dangerous!!!
No different than the disrega
February 26, 2007 - 08:59 ET by CaringwhiteguyNo different than the disregard of the Muslim connection to the mall shootings in Salt Lake City a few days ago. In fact, maybe worse. At least the guy in Utah was here legally.

February 26, 2007 - 10:37 ET by emjem24Of course AP doesn't report all the facts of this story. Just like other news sources didn't report that the teenager who gunned down innocent people in a mall in Utah was a Muslim immigrant.
This was deliberate and we all know it. What is AP so worried about by not identifying Beltran-Moreno as an illegal? I think any kind of "journalist integrity" (and I use this term very very loosely) that AP might have is being crushed by their utter devotion to political correctness.
On another note, farms and other businesses should know better. Did they really check out Beltran-Moreno's background before he was hired or did they buy his falsified records? Hey, Mexican wives want their husbands back to repopulate their male-less villages (according to FNC) so perhaps this guy would qualify....if he hasn't already made a run for it to the border.
These stories will not go away, America, no matter how much you want to give illegals amnesty and pretend they're just "hard-working and decent sorts." When will America wake up?
