America will never be safe until it knows who is crossing its borders. That's not a racist statement; that's common sense.
JOSE Lachira Carranza is not your typical illegal immigrant. But the immigration problem he now symbolizes needs to be faced just the same.
Carranza, 28, from Peru, did not sneak into America just to work hard and build a better life for himself as so many illegal aliens from poor nations are trying to do. Carranza, who is not known to have ever held a job except as a day laborer, is accused of playing a role in the execution-style murders of three Newark college students earlier this month.
