Another murder that wouldn’t have occurred if this illegal alien would not have been in this country. If this illegal alien had been deported for other offenses, Mary Sadler would be alive today. As I’ve said before, the US has enough of it’s own criminals, we don’t need to import criminals.

According to Metro police, the man who on Monday killed Sadler, and perhaps Sadler’s bird, was Ivan Moreno, 30, a next-door neighbor.

Moreno, who is thought to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico, admitted to police that he struck Sadler after he went to her house to get money, said Metro police spokesman Don Aaron.

Moreno was arrested yesterday on a charge of criminal homicide.

He also faces two charges of assaulting police officers during his arrest and a domestic assault charge after threatening his wife in Spanish that he would kill her if she cooperated with authorities, police said.

Moreno’s possible illegal presence in the country was a sore spot yesterday for Sadler’s family and neighbors. They expressed contempt for landlords who rented a duplex to Moreno and his family.

He[editor: Moreno] was identified moments later and found to have an outstanding warrant for failing to show up in court in June on a charge of driving without a license, police said.

According to police, Moreno kicked two officers who tried to arrest him.

Moreno appears to have used false documents and a fake name to land a job at a West End Avenue restaurant, police said. Federal authorities are working to determine his immigration status.

The killing prompted a joint statement by Metro police Chief Ronal Serpas, Sheriff Daron Hall and District Attorney General Torry Johnson, announcing plans to reform the way criminal immigrants are handled in Nashville.

NOW, the DA talks about reform. A little late isn’t it? Besides, without the state and surrounding communities taking action it won’t make any difference.
