Manhunt For Illegal Alien Murderer of Texas Family

The man wanted for killing five members of a Cleveland, Texas family last Friday is an illegal alien who has been deported from the U.S. five times.  Danielle Wallace of Fox News reports that there is an $80,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Francisco Oropesa, a Mexican national identified by video at the scene of the execution-style murders of three women, a man and an eight-year-old boy.  Oropesa was also identified by some of the five other family members who survived the attack.  ICE reports that he was deported five times between 2009 and 2016.  In 2012, he was deported after serving time in jail for drunk driving.  Police told reporters that a member of the family had asked Oropesa to stop firing his rifle into the air late Friday night.  In response he walked into the neighbor’s home and began shooting.  Two of the female victims were murdered while lying on top of children to protect them.  Once again, while some politicians and the media will blame the gun for these killings, it was the refusal by Congress to fully secure the southern border that allowed the murderer to repeatedly enter the U.S.  Strict enforcement of immigration laws would have prevented this tragedy.
