Fox News is reporting that 29-year-old Juan Manuel Flores Del Toro, the Mexican citizen who shot and killed 42-year-old Kittitas County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Thompson and wounded 22-year-old Kittitas Police Officer Benito Chavez Tuesday night, was in the US illegally. Imagine that.
According to ICE, Flores Del Toro entered the U.S. at Laredo, Texas, in April 2014 on a temporary agricultural worker visa. There was no record of the murderer ever leaving the US or extending his visa.
Hopefully the continuing investigation will reveal his list of employers in the US as well as his motivation for shooting and killing Deputy Thompson and wounding Officer Chavez. I’m assuming that there will be an effort to determine from whom and by what means Flores Del Toro illegally obtained the gun he used to murder Deputy Thompson and wound Officer Chavez.
Flores Del Toro was shot during the exchange of gunfire with the officers and died at the hospital.
It just keeps happening, with no consequences. When will we learn?

“We” learned.
Congress, however, refuses to act to meaningfully revise the immigration laws, and too many federal judges have their heads up their robes.
Then there are the idiots who want to be President who believe there should be no national borders, that all borders should be open and uncontrolled.
Finally there are the US citizens who don’t live in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas but who refuse to acknowledge that the “border crisis” exists and affects all of us.
