This undated photo, released May 15, 2012, by the Burbank Police department, shows Arnoldo Jimenez.
The FBI has tracked the cell phone of a Burbank, Ill., man suspected of killing his new bride to the Texas-Mexico border.
A federal warrant was issued Thursday for the arrest of 30-year-old Arnoldo Jimenez.
Jimenez was born in Texas and owns property in Pharr, Texas, according to a federal criminal complaint and attached affidavit. He has relatives in North Carolina, and his parents live in Mexico.

Estrella Carrera was still in her wedding dress when she was found stabbed to death in the bathtub of her apartment on Sunday, two days after the pair were married in a City Hall ceremony, officials said. Jimenez disappeared.
Law enforcement said they tracked his cell phone from the Chicago area to an area near Memphis, Tenn., through Arkansas, to Houston, Texas, and finally to Hidalgo, Texas, at 10:45 p.m. on Monday.
His sister told police Jimenez called her and said he and Carrera had a bad fight and he left her bleeding, the affidavit said. Authorities said the couple were last seen at about 4 a.m. Saturday following a post-wedding celebration at a Chicago nightclub.

Jimenez told another close associate that he was leaving Illinois and the associate should tell police he has fled to Mexico.
Carrera, 26, is the mother of two children. Jimenez is the father of the youngest, a 2-year-old boy, the victim's family said.
Jimenez, according to officials, was last known to be driving a black, four-door 2006 Maserati with Illinois license plates.
Just two days after her wedding, Estrella Carrera, 25, was found stabbed to death in her own bathtub. She was still in the dress she wore at her wedding reception. WMAQ-TV's Lauren Jiggetts reports.

If I was going to own a Masaratti it wouldn't be a 4 door.
yeah, and what exactly does this guy do in order to be able to afford a maserati? not many people own those.
I am so sure there is more to this story than provided by the media.
He was in Mexico before the body was found.
This guy certainly isn't too bright....either that, or he doesn't watch much TV. He should know that you can be tracked through your cell phone calls. He'll get caught because he's not smart enough to get away!
he needed the four door for his expanding family. hard to stuff all the groceries and the kids and the wife and abuelita in a mangy two door.
Drug dealer!
Can we say Le eMe Captain and drug smuggler? Of course we can. Oh, I'm sure there is some kind of legit form of income, (financed by drug money)there always is, any criminal with half a brain has a legit cover up illegal income, (See Congress and Senate). What do you bet they find drugs or a tunnel to the border on his place in Texas. There's a lot more to this than is being said. You can believe that. I wonder if Eric Holder will order the charges on this douche bag dropped? Sighting him as a fast and furious material witness. Stranger things have happened in D.C.
What a stupid POS. Poor girl picked the wrong guy. She thought she had a prince charming, and all she got was a coward that can only win an arguement with a knife. Typical pin dick little coward drug dealer.
Many of the Drug Dealer/Terrorists called ZETAS are actually US Citizens who have regular lower end jobs here in the US. They have "reasons" to visit Mexico now and then as a cover up to their family and friends. These ppl make about 80k to 100k a year traveling back and forth with narcotics or to kill specific ppl. Again this is all supposed to be secret. Now and then you have a dummy who just cant hold back in purchasing and exotic car, and once intoxicated and violent things get out of hand and ends up hurting hiw own family, and does what he gets paid to do. Kill.
Comment # 1 deleted, really terrible derail.
Another murder by a damn anchor baby. When is it going to stop? Answer: Never. In the next 100 years Latins, mostly made up of people originally from Mexico will be the majority of our population in the US. Then they will take over the government. Then the US will become more like Mexico. I feel sorry for our descendents. America will NEVER be the same.
Don't get me wrong, many Latin people are fine, hard working people. Much better than some people that currently live here. But, there is a huge percentage that aren't so good, and that is a problem. Case in point, the guy in this story.
"Jimenez was born in Texas ..., and his parents live in Mexico."
Anchor baby and therefor life-long Democrat?
I'll save you liberals some time:
How dare I point out the very likely reality of the situation, that is clearly racist because the subject isn't white, and I have no meaningful response. - Sincerely, any typical liberal sheep.
You bring politics into this thread?
See a therapist, now.
Born in Texas. Runs a business in Texas.
Yep. Texas. Back in the news with thier violent, demented citizens highjinks.
Because the right think they can win elections by dividing the country by race? They seem stuck in the 1930's. Its a good thing Obama thinks like someone in 2012. Landslide victory!!
Patrook Goreng, you don't know a darn thing about Texas! Bet mental illness runs in your family, just look what your mother named you - Patrook - Really?! And by the way, learn to spell "their". Is the computer your only friend? The two of you can spend all day spewing plain old 'demented' statements!
Mitt Romney is an Anchor Baby as well.
Mitt Romney's father, George W Romney, was born in Mexico.
Ruken....you don't need a therapist but you do need to put two plus two together....pjam09 is right.
This guy must be the perfect Republican -- 1%er ---- Got money and a fancy expensive car -- Taking the "Ryan Plan" to heart -cutting off (and up) women and children -- and returning back to Mexico -- isn't that the GOP platform this year?!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
45% tie in the polls
I could be mistaken, but I believe most polls have them neck and neck, or within the statistical margin of error.
And has been that way for the past month.
Because we all know the President's job approval has just been stellar, don't we.
Why how much more indicative of a pending landslide can it be.
You know whats funny, let's imagine for a moment he does win, and does so the same as last time (in others words win by 3%), and takes it as a mandate. I mean what can go wrong.
It isn't like the 2010 elections (where Democrats lost 63 House seats, 6 Senate seats, 680 State legislature seats, and 6 Gubernatorial positions) could have been a referendum on misinterpreting "mandates from the people".
JG - I suppose your mother named you JG-895068 ?
It probably won't make any difference to you and your spell-checking fun, but I pick on Florida almost as much as Texas.
TFNJ--pretty sure that it's Obama who is the racist and has caused the biggest racial divide in this country since the 60's because it has been nothing BUT RACE infiltrating every single news story in 4 years! I had hoped that he would bring everybody together, but sadly he's made it worse.
Almost? Really? That's reassuring.
Jake-413451 - Says:
The election has months to go.. We'll see what happens as we get just a bit closer to November.
Yep.. the GOP mantra of cut corporate taxes has created TONS of new jobs hasn't it? Hmm.. Corporations are back to their pre recession profits but where are the jobs? Seems to me, the GOP promise of lower taxes has NOT created jobs either... Unless you offshore jobs to another country. You know it was the GOP congress that approved tax credits to American Corporations that move jobs overseas right????
Let's imagine that he doesn't win the Presidency. Romney = Great Depression Part 2. That's what will go wrong.
Let's see... Didn't former President BUSH lose the popular vote in 2004, won the electoral college vote, but claimed a mandate???
The subject IS white.
How sad for her family and Children 8( How tragic and how cowardly this bastard killed her
L O S E R
RIP
So you agree then that TFNJ was jumping the gun a bit with his prediction of a landslide, especially with the current evidence not exactly supporting his prediction.
And the deflection starts. Weren't we talking about the President's job approval rating. Oh yeah, 47% or so. If you want to talk about Congress's by all means go ahead.
And what happened in 2008 again? Didn't the Obama campaign help paint McCain as Bush part III? So basically part of the 2008 election may have been due to a misinterpreted mandate. Just like 2010. Not very insightful of the Democrats to not see that one coming then.
Thank you for helping support my argument.
Another mexican self-deporting! Ain't border security under DHS great?
This guy represents everything the Republians stand for --Money, businessowner, expensive toys, no respect for women -- self-deportation -- He could be be the "Joe the Plumber""poster boy for the GOP this election year!
Makes you wonder whose home the DHS is securing...!!!!
I think they are a fictitious department, that is just another funnel for the government to roll the money down from the taxpayers pockets to theirs... just like the billions they are supposedly spending on the ..."WAR on drugs".
But hey.... in November don't forget to vote for your favorite criminal for president...
pjam09......
I notice that your comment was collapsed, while....The Painful Truth-2712888's irrational post remains intact.
Sorta like Mr. Obama's "enemy list" huh ?
This guys represents everything the Democrats stand for.....VOTES.
That's cause pjam09 understandably gets no respect.
The painful truth--You're joking right? What an asinine comment! His "property" is probably a dirt farm used as a stopping point for trafficking humans and drugs. Do you honestly think a scumbag like this guy earned that Maserati legally?
@Ida: My post is "irrational" (to you) -- sorry if my words were beyond your abilities -- But I must admit -- You write surprisingly well for having you head so far up your own @ss!
Yes.. I am joking -- Because I am good like that -- very celver and quick witted -- and does not "suffer fools lightly" -- And because I have this wonderful talent --. I do NOT start it here -- But I do so enjoy seeing how many people get so angry and vent about stuff and turn things into "racist/politcal/hate speech/ nonsense" -- and displaying their clear lack of knowledge (or gripe on facts) -- Fun times!! OK, that said -- This guy was NOT living on the border or in Mexicao -- he was liviing outside Chicago -- (not too many dirt farms there) I have no idea how this POS got the expensive car (and neither do any of you) If he bought it --he must have had money to do so--right???-- Where did he get it? Yes, we can all assume it is from drugs --and I would not be surprised if that is in fact the case-- But lacking any facts -- your "guess' is as good as mine-- but just because he is Mexican -- does not mean that ALL Mexicans are drug dealers, or wife killers or Democrats -- or Mitt's secret "love child" -- Hope I have not made your brains explode yet!!! ~ ;)
ldo
pjam09......
Yep.. I guess that's like the axis of EVIL list from someone else right..........
Kind of like the GOP... We are going to do everything we can to 'buy votes' and of course court the christian right vote.
Ahhh you're not so clever that you know how to spell or use proper grammar. And no--you haven't made my head explode yet. It only hurts a little bit from attempting to decipher your English language skills.
Marge Marge... you are bringing up someone else's grammar, with that post.... very funny. Do you side line as a comedian?
Put this @!$%#er in a Colombian prison
I know....I can't help it. I was abused as a child. My mother constantly corrected my grammar.
"But I do so enjoy seeing how many people get so angry and vent about stuff and turn things into "racist/politcal (SP: political)/hate speech/ nonsense...."
The Painful Truth-2712888....."The Painful Truth" for you is the above comment provides a great description of your lackluster Liberal post.
Also, you go into great detail about your views on this case, however state: "But lacking any facts".....hint....read post # 2.2.
Sorta like Mr. Obama making a National Speech saying that Trayvon Martin could have been his son sparking Racial Warfare when in fact Mr. Obama did not have the FACTS in the case which is now before, and will be decided by, a jury.
to "Id"' and AC and "Marge" -- Thank you so much for proving my point! You are making my job a little easier! For the record: Neither my posts here (for the most part) nor my personal agenda is "Lib" or "Right-wing' -- clearly some of you can not "keep up" -- "oh, how we hate what we do not understand -- To those here who have come to my defense -- thank you for being able to "keeping up and getting it" -- Glad to know you are out there. Yes, I will freely admit that sometimes I don't "type so good" -- But when you write (and think) so very quickly -- as I do -- sometimes you make typos. Sorry about that --I will try harder. I don't know -- Is it better to type well and write nothing of value but hater nonsense? Or is it better to make a few typos here and there and say something worth reading? -..OK, I will slooooow down and allow you guys to catch up now! -- PS: Unless you just got some "breaking news" -- I still don't see how President Obama has anything to do with this story about a man killing his wife -- but I guess being logical or fair" does not come into it ..as long as you are sure to spell all the mean-spritied words right! -- Tag! You're it!!!
ldo -
Simple question... How does ANY of this relate to a woman who was murdered? Or do you find it hard to stay on the subject of the article.. but so easy to weave in your political short sightedness. I have yet to see any comments that actual relate to this article and past comments generally have no factual information or content.
P.S. It's President Obama and that is a fact.
murdered on wedding day by husband---found in bath tub in wedding dress--spouse on the run--tracking his cell--------suspected ties to drug cartel----now in negotiation for a made for tv movie------or 48 hours drama. this woman was living on the edge-her choice -but why involve children. the child has my sympathy and i hope never has contact with his father ever again.
My how the brainwashed on all sides turn an article about a murderous Mexican douche bag, likely a member of Le eMe, into a political debate. Now, let me drop a little knowledge into this. I doubt any of you partisan hacks will understand let alone agree, but here goes. What part of ALL Dirty, ALL the time can't you people understand? Politicians, party notwithstanding, are all the same. they tell the ignorant what they want to here to get elected. Once this occurs, they do everything they said they would do, all of which is to improve their own finances. Listen carefully to what they say. The president of these United States, called on an end to member of both houses involvement in insider trading in his last State of the Union speech, did any of you catch that? No? What a surprise. Remember the "bonus checks" all you 99%er's were so up in arms about to all those share holders and board members. Guess what governmental offices most hold. That's right, Congressmen and Senators.
If you wish to find were you favorite politico's loyalties truly lie, check their portfolios. It's all about money and power and hanging onto it. They don't care about you or the country, they care about how much money they can stuff in their pockets. Why do you think they are ALL heavily invested in oil, insurance, banking and other financial pursuits. Take the four political persuasions, Democrat, Independent, Republican, and Tea party. Now, use it to form and acronym, D.I.R.T.,,,, Dirt, I'd say that sums them up pretty well.
Now, all you brainwashed Brahmin on all sides, let fly the insults, say it isn't so. I don't care, Having voted for Kennedy, I've watched the political crime show far longer than most of you. I know there is not an honest person in D.C. If you live long enough, you will come to know the truth of this. In the mean time, enjoy the bliss that comes from ignorance.
Pretty cool post... Too bad the hate will overide common sense for the majority.. Or they won't like it, simply because it's true..
I love it...D.I.R.T. It's so true...regardless of the party. I'm really, really tired of President Obama being blamed for everything, however; it's ridiculous.
Mind the CoH, Marge-1323260, You should know the rules by now.
I'm so sorry if I offended you with my response to another user. I would not have said anything derogatory had I not been offended myself. Having someone ask if my "head was exploding yet" was an insult to me but I consider it an honor that MY comments were collapsed, especially when I've seen others that are SOOOO much more obscene than I could possibly be.
You've got a lot of collapsing to do. You should get busy with it.
Was there really a need for the news to tip the guy off that his phone was giving him away! The idiot obviously didn't know it until now!
You would think that if they could track his cell phone location the police in those areas could easily spot a black Maserati on a highway headed southwest. A little interstate police co-operation shouldn't be that difficult.
Do you think he is still in the Maserati, or even in this country?
I agree. Was it really necessary to "broadcast" that little piece of information --Should have saved that one for after they caught him or found him dead.
A smart man would have dumped the Masaratti somewhere by now and "borrowed" something else. A very smart man would have turned off the damn cell phone realizing that it will ping off towers from here to China.... Not the brightest bulb on the tree..... I can't wait to hear his defense, since I am guessing they will find him or Mexico will boot him out the door
If he makes it to Mexico you can kiss his azz goodbye. Why would he return to the USA? You would never find him in Mexico, those people all look alike.
Do you think a guy on the run may know this?????
You never know, maybe he gave his cell phone to someone else so they could use it to throw the cops off of his tracks, they could then dump the cell phone wherever. He's probably not that smart though......
I don't think this guy reads these vines or the newspaper.....
@Didi-376564, He can't read, he can only look at the pictures !
I agree with you 100% arzoo623, and even if he doesn't follow these vines or read the newspaper because as public593 seems to think he can't read, he can still listen to the news, the media should have kept there mouths shut on that piece of information (I can't believe they were even told).
And @ Rod_Father, THOSE people do not all look alike, what a racist statement to make.
Gee......... what a total and complete surprise.
pjam09, your new nickname should be "Captain Obvious". Nothing you typed was meaningful, except where you pointed that out.
Anchor baby? Democrat? Liberal?
How about...COWARD, FUGITIVE, ABUSER....KILLER?
Who cares what the "likely reality of the situation" is? The situation NOW is that her children and family are suffering from HIS actions...who cares what they look like or which party they were or were not voting for? I don't think THEY do right now.
You ever notice that Mexico is so bad, that all the bugs are fleeing for their lives across the border... but as soon as they do something that involves going to jail for or prison, they always run back to that border... that suddenly, Mexico isn't all that bad after all...?
Hey AC -- not too racist -are we?Think for a sec... of course he is going to try to go to Mexico -- why wouldn't he if he can blend inthere and excape capture -- By the way -- have you even seen a jail in Mexico??? -- not exacly a 4 star hotel -- especially if you are from sonewhere else.
Could it be because the police over there are so entrenched in that war on drugs they have no time a little thing like a wife killing? Hell, who has time for a single murder when you just found 50 bodies on the road?
@Thedeb I completely agree with you. He killed her & he should rot or get the death penalty but meanwhile the kids are left without their mother. That is sad. People talking about voting or politics please who cares. When the kids grow up they will know that their father killed their mother.
As a Texan that grew up with Mexicans it is a well know fact that they like knives and will stab you in the heat of an argument. They are for most part extremely jealous and very hot tempered. I have seen it many times over the 65 years in Tx. They are usually cowards unless in groups. They are commonly taking knives to gun fights....LOL. Lot are hard working good people but in Tx we are over run with illegals just like Az. , it is becoming a financially drain on local schools, hospitals and welfare programs. Most likely this guy is long gone in Mexico...that is the common thing with Mexican criminals, they all flee to home country.
Who are you kidding? Many criminals, all races, dream of going to mexico, either with their wealth or on the lamm, it's been a meme in our culture since talkies began.....
The long hand of the drug cartel
How are they going to tell his Maserati from all the others in Mexico?
Who says they'll even try?
Comment # 10 deleted, derail.
They will capture this POS in Mexico, probably. With APBs and cell phone info, why aren't they able to stop him along the way? State Police, where are you?
We can only hope they catch up with him before he makes it across the border. If he get into Mexico --it will not be so easy to get him back. My question is why it took two days to even start looking for him? And why the sisters of both he and the dead bride did not do something as soon as they spoke to him ("we had a bad fight.."left her bleeding") From what I have read, no one called the police or checked on the girl for two days! Why?
If he was tracked to Hidalgo, TX, on Monday PM, he has had over 3 days to drive or walk a few feet across the international bridge into Mexico. Was the person caring for her small children not expecting a call-in from mom?
you people are all so right but yet wrong. the kids have no mom and yes if he got to mexico he would come back they all use it like a highway. what the hell do the border guards do anyway. take for example the two border agents sent to prison for shooting a drug dealer and then the usa allows him to sue the agents please this country is so full of @@@@. lets take of or own then help others out not the way?????????????????????
"Jimenez was born in Texas and owns property in Pharr, Texas, according to a federal criminal complaint and attached affidavit. He has relatives in North Carolina, and his parents live in Mexico"
Translation: His parents were illegals who came into Texas to get free healthcare. Jimenez could then grow up in Texas, buy property, associate with other "relatives in North Carolina" who may or may not have established themselves as U.S. citizens the same way he did and went on to kill this woman. Quite an accomplishment...but at least he helped bolster the voting block for the Democratic Party.
Sound more like Teabagger to me!
thinkingman-2605299
Translation - I don't know what really happened here, but I should go ahead and paint this as a problem caused by President Obama, the Democrats, and have zero compassion that a woman was murdered. Very typical GOP Whiner and Complainer.
Wow! Release the Racist! What a bunch of angry, sick and hateful out there. You must really hate your lives. And how is it that you always have to inject Obama? Where you doing the same when Dubya was screwing things up so badly? BTW, when you watch any of the Dateline Mysteries or ID channel, most of those murders are committed by white ppl.
That is because black on black crime, or mexican on mexican crime is not considered newsworthy normally. In point of fact, most white crime seems to be domestic (husband/wife), while black crime and mexican crime seems to be gang and drug related, and there is actually far more of that. it is the domestic crime that makes the news.
You sound like one of those people yourself. I love how racist people are quick to point the finger at someone else. Remember, when you point your finger, you have 3 more pointing right back at you. I am STILL shaking my head at "most of those murders are committed by white people". Maybe you should pick up a book instead of watching TV. smh.
IslandGirl don't argue much with these idiots, they are so obsessed with black people, that it is crazy. I mean this article is about a Hispanic and all they can do is talk about black people. They are weird beyond imagination, I have not met one white person that is not preoccupied by what a Black person does get a freaking life folks!!
I don't care if both he and his dead wife were green with purple striples -- It is pretty clear what happened here -Even wih the slopply reporting and lack of facts -- and "hating' here -- the point is that he has to be caught before he gets over the border. And i would say that --if he was Chinese and China was just south of Dallas -- Once this guy gets into a country that he can hid in -- it will be very hard to get him and have justice served.
IslandGirl...are you seriously comparing real life to the ID channel (whatever that is)? You and "poor me" Marvin need to wake up! It is not all about you and how you feel wronged by racism. Hey Marvin, you must not talk to too many white people do you? This article is about a man on the run after he murdered his wife, not how poor Marvin and IslandGirl are affected by racism which, I would venture to say, Marvin practices himself!
Why do people automatically drag race, nationality, and politics into every damned thing?
This guy is a scumbag of the lowest order and should be hunted down and shot. I hate to say it, but this woman probably knew she was taking her life into her own hands even being with this idiot, and married him anyway. And now her little children are motherless.
What does any of this have to do with his nationality?
Thinking the same thing - murdering one's spouse does not have any bearing on race, political views or anything other than that this guy is a sick b*****d. He could be as white as white or yellow or green, fact is that he killed his wife, and left her children without a mother. Hope he is found soon and whatever is done is final for him. He does not deserve a trial by a jury of his peers.
I agree and where are the children?
Trying to reply to a comment
Shooting him would be to good to this monster.... I feel he should suffer as that poor girl probably did and of course I am sure that the rest of her family are probably suffering, I would prefer to see him placed somewhere that resembles a POW camp.
I just love how these people want to come to America for our freedoms and freebies. But if they do something horrendous like this, they run their chicken asses back to Mexico. I live in Texas. We need to stop him here. We'd take care of him if the other state would let us. WE DON'T Play!
but once he is in Mexico, he is protected from the death penalty, as Mexico will not extradite if that option is on the table. With the current violence in Mexico, the Mexican authorities probably will not even bother looking for him, so if he has the ability to survive in Mexico, he is home free.
Which is why they have to stop him before he gets to Mexico....
What the hell is wrong with you people? A woman is dead...her children are motherless, and you spew all this crap? Shame on you all...treating this tradgedy like a political forum. Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned compassion? Geez...
I am sure we all here have compassion for the poor girl -- she is the victim here. But there are many unanswered questons -- and , of course, as often happens here --people "vent" and someone has to make it a "political agrument" -- I agree it is not right= but that is how it goes here -- and I will admit I am as gulity as anyone else here sometimes-- I am just glad they have not blamed Obama yet....
And I'm surprised nobody has blamed Bush yet.
Well..now that you bring it up ~ ; )
lol
Gutless man, assults a woman and now he is running to Mexico knowing if the US wants to extradite him and try him for murder Mexico won't relase him unless the US promises to not seek the death penalty.
Hope they kill him in a shoot out before he gets across the border.
Does Illinois even have the death penalty? Everyone keeps talking about Texas (where we would definitely fry his ass, regardless of his skin color) but he was living in Illinois and that is where the crime took place. I only ask because today I'm too lazy to look it up, where normally I would.
Don't think the state of Illinois currently has the death penalty. Even if they caught him @ the border in Texas they would still have to send him back for trial.
TOM - you're not seriously posing the question of suicide are you?
Yea Tom I'm sure she just decided to stab herself multiple time....LOL!
Her poor children
Arnoldo Jimenez you might want to stop using your cell phone now that the FBI and the driveby media have told how they are tracking you.
Pretty girl, shame some azzhole could not value her. ""Jimenez told another close associate that he was leaving Illinois and the associate should tell police he has fled to Mexico."" or did he give his cell to someone else to hide his trail?
Most of you posting here have not said anything that matters in this
That is an excellent point. He could be trying to "threw the cops off his trail" -- Don't know if he would be that clever -- (we can hope he is not).
Governor Ryan put a moratorium on the death penalty before he went to prison.
Now his succesor governor Blago is in prison.
If you ask me, our current governor belongs there too.
Slightly off-topic, just my opinion.
just like i said, he will go back to mexico, celebrate and sneak back into the usa to collect his government handouts, he needs the money to woo another woman..
TYPICAL !!!!! SICKO OF THAT SIDE OF THE BODER, LOOKS LIKE A MILLION OF "them". Why would ANY girl take second look at someone like THAT!!!
So are you going to bat for the girl, who is also from "that side of the boder"??
Sandy, your bigotry is showing.
Of course we know "they all look alike" don't we?
What a load.
And of course I'm sure that if some guy driving a maserati showed interest in you that you would just tell them to get lost.... RIGHT!!!!
Why dose a Mexican living here always commit a murder and then run back to Mexico. gee what a freak in coward...
First of all -- It is NOT all Mexicans -- butto give your questiona serious response -- think about it ... the border to another country --where you will blend right in ..is right there ..Would be harder to do if you were Japanese!
My initial reaction when I look at his picture, ugly, arrogant, prick
A.C-1213193
I should feel offended that you essentially called my worthiness equivalent to that of a bug… yet I’m not because that’s the way life works here in the U.S. when you’re Mexican. So I’m used to it. But it saddens me that I have to be used to it. People like you that over generalize and stereotype must overlook a lot of people and things in life. And that’s why I feel sorry for you instead and not for me.
I'm going to first off agree with you. But I want to point something out that I have been observing for too long. In discussions in news stories where a Mexican person is involved, I've seen some Mexican Americans take the side of the racist ranter and agree with the statements like "they need to get out", etc. I once asked a Mexican American here why he would encourage such talk, since it over all made things more difficult for ALL mexicans, sinse racists don't stop to look at documentation before spouting. I couldn't convince him to remember his heritage and stop encouraging anti-Mexican racism. He felt he was American now, and that meant bashing Mexicans was ok.
As an example, I am a Puerto Rican from NY. Want to know why you don't find the same rants here? Because it would be ass whoopin time. Mexicans Americans need to start defending the raza, long after they have left Mexico. Otherwise this will continue. There is NO reason for you or anyone to believe that its just the way life works here.
Agree with you here. When in fact the census just showed that there are more babies being born in the US that are not "white", yet the discrimination of non-whites continues and anything that these non-white people do jump into the headlines and top the list of crimes in the US. I do not feel that this is justification of a crime or criminal. Just that it makes the news more and more, yet the "white" population is as inclined to murder and other crimes, but just not as notable as others due to their skin color.
Of course. All criminals need to be punished. But all I know about this guy is that he possibly commited a crime. I know nothing about his citizenship. Yet that does not stop the racist comments. And as I point out above, part of that is because some people feel its ok to bash Mexicans. The threat of immigration hanging over their heads has made them feel American life should be filled with hate and racism.
Many criminals have escaped to Mexico in the past. But since this guy happens to be Mexican by heritage, he can't do so without racist bashing. As I said though, this sort of behavior only happens in certain parts of the country.
I wonder what the reason is for the increase of minority births vs the decrease of causcasion births. They gave statistics but no other information.
Need a Birds and the Beas lesson review Marge?
Yes please :) Maybe it's birth control vs baby daddies?
Maybe its time you accepted that there is nothing you can do about it. Hispanics are here to stay, regardless of how many times you rant about it. Your question is moot. I'm here all over Newsvine, you have plenty of Hispanic neighbors, and your kids will date a Hispanic. "baby daddy" will be spoken closer to you than you want..
I have no problem with that at all. Do you really think I'm ranting? I just asked a rhetorical question. I live in Texas -- I'm surrounded by all nationalities so why would I have a problem with any ethnic group? I work with people who come from all over the world. My "kids" have friends from all nationalities and ethnic groups. My "kids" have dated Hispanics and Muslims. What makes you think I have a problem with Hispanics? My PROBLEM is that I don't like women popping out kids that they can't take care of. And before you jump my case--my daughter is probably in the minority of her white friends that hasn't had at least one child out of wedlock that the government is providing care for.
No, but I had to test where you were "coming from". There is a big difference between living in Texas and living in New York, as far as being surrounded by different nationalities. You see a Hispanic and think Mexican. Just like a person in Miami sees a Hispanic and thinks Cuban. But in NY, its a grand melting pot.
You say your problem is that you have a problem with women popping out kids they can't take care of, but your questing in 25.4 points to a deeper view of certain races. It goes against this last "accepting and caring" post you just made.
TFNJ What you say sounds good in theory. However, the situation is a little different for you. Puerto Ricans are US citizens already. People who come here without documentation are not and don't care to be. I admit there are many hard-working people from Mexico that come here and never have any problems. And I think that often the message of enforcing immigration laws gets lost in the racial bigotry that inevitably raises it's ugly head. Many of us that support enforcing immigration laws are not concerned with preventing immigration. We just want to know who is in our country and for what reason. However, the criminals get lost in the crowds of hard-working migrant workers and domestic help. If we enforce documentation requirements, we'll know who the migrant worker and the cleaning ladies are. Everyone else is suspect. (I know, before any comments on my choice of words, that many immigrants are skilled workers, heavy equipment operators, boiler makers, carpenters, etc. The choice of occupations is not intended as a slight.)
Texas Lady, I stopped reading your post after your first line, just for a second, because I want to make a point. My citizen status is NOT why I am an understanding or caring person. If what you are implying is true, then you must also see no reason for others here to use racist remarks. This person, or killer is you want, is an American. Regardless of people assuming his parents MUST have come here illegally, that doesn't make it true. We know nothing of them. So why bash without fact? Isn't that the definition of ignorance? I'm not defending this man, but I'm going against ignorant assumptions. Nothatyoucare's post above disturbs me greatly. That she feels this is what America is. A hate filled country that looks down their nose at everyone trying to better their lives. I don't see that here where I am. And as I said above, there is a reason for that.
Ok, now I will read the rest.
Ok, nothing else made me rant.. lol. I agree, and while I don't follow immigration laws enough to know what flaws there are in the system, I'm sure some either take advantage of them, or sneak in to the country. But why are immigrants who legally came in to this country, or were born here but are of Mexican descent, obligated to listen to people bashing Mexicans, or Hispanics, or even immigrants in general? They shouldn't. They deserve my respect as much as I deserve theirs.
What happens if I travel to, say, Arizona?
Well said notthatyoucare, but there's really nothing you can do to help him see how ignorant he is. Just let him live his life afraid of everything. It's sad to see people still thinking that way in 2012, but I guess some people just use loud opinions as placeholders for facts. The most he can do is post bold letters on a news article about how he thinks you're a bug :).
His opinion does not matter.. I think that is the message here.
I've asked some about that in the past and they tell me that they resent the people who take advantage of the open border. They went about it the right way and they don't like being grouped in with people who just think they can walk into this country and take what they want. I dated a "hispanic" (actually native american Indian from south Texas) and his family had been here for generations (long before the first missionary ever came to Texas). They were educated, hard working people. They didn't like being lumped in with 'peasants and criminals' as they called it. (Their words, not mine.) It would seem that each person has their own reasons for doing that. I understand your objections. However, my objection is a little broader than yours. Why should anyone bash anyone for being a different race, religion, etc? Racism will never truly go away until we can defend any other person just as vehemently as you defend other Puerto Ricans.
If the shoe fits. More than likely, the statistics would back me up, although I can't cite any references for you. It's an epidemic no matter what color or creed.
Hispanic doesn't make me automatically think Mexican. Texas is a grand melting pot too--NY doesn't have exclusive rights on that.
I understand. But its not the authorities that make them feel uncomfortable because others have come into the country illegally. Its their neighbors and their community. Its people just like here making assumptions. That is what needs changing. The authorities need to fix the issue, without involving American citizens. If it was easy, it would be fixed by now.
And just so you know, I will defend a White or Black or Asian person just as vehemently. Its just that since this story involves a person of Mexican descent, my being Hispanic was relevant.
Come to NY Marge. I'll give you a tour. It might also help to break you from that small minded upbringing and open you up to culture. If you did come to NY, you'd leave red faced at what you just wrote about Texas.
What is wrong with the term Mexican?
This guy is probably nowhere near Mexico. Hmm, his phone was tracked, he told a friend he was going to Mexico; both excellent ways to mislead authorities. Get away with murder 101...leave a false trail. Just because he owns a Maserati does not make him a criminal. Perhaps he is one very savvy business man. If so, he is probably leaving a text book fake trail. If not, and he is really that stupid, I will enjoy watching his stupid, wife murdering behind get caught. Too bad he didn't commit this horrendous crime in Texas. Texas don't play around with the death penalty, it's snap and zapp. Heck, a report released this very week said they executed the wrong man. Maybe they will get him for border crossing and Texas will get a crack at him, improbable, but a girl can hope.
Drugs will make women do anything if thay are addicted to that crap.
And that staement has what to do with this story?
I agree, What does that have to do with a man stabbing his new wife to death? We have no idea if this was drug-related or not. Sure...you & I and the rest of us can only assume things not in evidence -- which clearly we are doing a lot here.
I heart breaks for her children who will not have the chance to grow up having a mommy. That jerk should be cut apart one little piece at a time. This is why ladies when your family tells you they don't approve....LISTEN!!! May she rest in peace once she knows that he is totally out of the family picture and that her children are safe.
