Democrats’ two-tiered justice system for illegal immigrants

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano undercharged yet another violent illegal immigrant this week, ensuring that yet another danger to the community will be released onto an unsuspecting public to harm again. Far from being a one-time mistake, undercharging illegal immigrants is the stated policy of Descano’s office and part of a wider Democratic Party campaign to create sanctuaries for illegal immigration.

Israel Flores Ortiz, an 18-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was convicted this week on nine counts of assault and battery after at least a dozen students at Fairfax High School, some as young as 13, accused him of grabbing them between their legs. “It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab,” one mother told local news. “It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months.”
