Paul Mauro: Boulder, Colorado Attacker Shouldn’t Have Been Here if We’ve Been Enforcing Immigration Laws

EXCERPT:

MAURO: “You know, so, obviously, one of the talking points is going to be the fact that he would not have been here and should not have been here if we were actually enforcing our immigration laws. I think for the purposes of the investigation now and the prosecution and what charges are brought, etc., what they’re going to be particularly interested in is any of the contacts that he had back home. He’s here now, it’s about three years, so any conversations he had back then may or may not be pertinent. But was he reaching back home? Was he in contact with bad elements overseas? These are the things that those U.S. Attorneys that spoke at the press conference and the D.A., they’re going to be looking at very hard so they can figure out which way to go with this investigation. And, look, this guy is going to be heavily charged. We’re in -- in a way, it almost doesn’t matter. He’s going to be heavily charged. He’s going to be locked up for life. What we really need to do is to look at why it happened, how it happened. Those are the things that are really more important. And actually, some of them are outside the purview of investigators and the police. And the fact that we have this stuff going on on these campuses and that the administrations, whether it’s Columbia or Harvard or any of them, seem to just shrug, these are the things that I think as a society, more importantly, we have to be looking at."
