“This is a horrific tragedy that saddens the entire community.  It is terrible enough when a murder occurs, but to have it happen by someone who should not have been in this country adds to the despair.  It is completely unacceptable for Padilla to go unnoticed in our country for as long as he did as an illegal alien, especially because he has had prior arrests.  It is hard enough to find illegal aliens, but when they are handed over to federal authorities, as Padilla had previously been, action needs to be taken.”
