How many times must we hear this story before America finally says “enough”?
In February 2007, an illegal alien named Epigmenio Gomez—who had already racked up a criminal record—brutally murdered a teenage girl in Dearborn, Michigan. This was no random tragedy. It was the predictable result of politicians who put ideology and cheap labor above the safety of American citizens. It was the result of a border so porous that criminals walk through it with impunity, and a legal system so toothless that dangerous repeat offenders are let loose to prey on the innocent.
Imagine being the family of this young girl. Imagine knowing that her life was stolen not just by a cold-blooded killer, but by a government that refused to do its most basic job: keep dangerous criminals out of the country. Her dreams, her future—gone, all because politicians on both sides of the aisle refuse to take a stand for the American people.
It didn’t have to happen. Gomez had a prior arrest record. He should have been deported long before he could ever hurt an American child. But he wasn’t. And now, a family is left shattered, a community traumatized, and the rest of us are left to wonder when it will be our town on the news.
After his arrest, Gomez was tried and convicted for the heinous murder. On September 11, 2007, justice was finally served in a Michigan courtroom: Gomez was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. That’s a victory for the rule of law, but it’s cold comfort for those who loved the victim. No prison sentence can bring her back. No judge’s gavel can erase the sorrow caused by a system that failed her so completely.
This case is not an outlier. It is a symptom of a nation whose leaders have forgotten their duty to protect their own citizens. The price of open borders and political correctness is measured in blood, in tears, and in funerals that never should have happened.
Want proof? See the Michigan Department of Corrections official record for Epigmenio Gomez and try to tell the victim’s family that this was just another “isolated incident.” Ask yourself how many more lives have to be destroyed before America gets serious about putting its people first.
Closing Words
For every politician who refuses to secure the border, for every bureaucrat who looks the other way, there is a family like this—broken, grieving, and asking why their loved one’s life mattered less than an agenda.
How many more Americans have to die before something changes?
