NEW FRANKLIN — Police are trying to sort out why a man shot a Canton cab driver 10 times, killing him Sunday evening.

The shooting occurred after Jerry Laury, who drove for Yellow Cab, dropped off a fare at an apartment building in the 5100 block of S. Main Street in this southern Summit County community. Police have arrested the cab rider, Raul Benitez-Maranon, 27, who apparently was staying at the apartment building.

Witnesses told police that a man fitting Maranon’s description stood next to the cab and fired a gun into the window. The shooting occurred at about 5:45 p.m.

Gary Guenther, chief investigator for the Summit County Medical Examiner’s office, said the 61-year-old Laury was shot 10 times in his head and chest. Laury died at the scene.

Police arrested Maranon minutes after the shooting. He is being held in the Summit County Jail after being charged with aggravated murder.

Although Maranon is using the S. Main Street address, police aren’t certain he lives there. Police Chief Daniel G. Davidson said officers believe Maranon is a Mexican national and are investigating to determine how he entered the country.

“He’s not a confirmed U.S. citizen,” Davidson said...[Full Article]

Illegal Aliens and Crime: Statistics not on Obama's side

Examiner

President Barack Obama's opponents -- especially those working for the Border Patrol and in law enforcement -- claim the recent change in immigration policy is meant to seal his Latino voting base, especially those who are suspected of being legal or illegal aliens who are fraudulently voting in U.S. elections.

Obama's opponents -- especially those working for the Border Patrol and in law enforcement -- claim the whole change in immigration policy is meant to seal his Latino voting base, especially those who are suspected of being legal or illegal aliens who are fraudulently voting in U.S. elections.

"This... [is] more of the 'wait until they kill, rape, beat or molest someone here in America, then we'll deport them' logic. Any victims want to step up to the plate so they can make sure an illegal alien becomes a "felon", making him deportable under the Obama and Napolitano rules? Brilliant strategy. They say they'll deport "gang members" as well. We all feel so much safer now. The illegal alien cheerleaders (Raul Grijalva, Luis Gutierrez, etc.) will love this new strategy. Those of us who actually have to put our lives on the line and enforce the laws? Not so much," according to a statement by National Border Patrol Council, Local 2544...[Full Article]

Barack Obama Cannot Get Congress To Pass Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants So Now He Is Just Going To Ram It Down Our Throats Any Way That He Can

End of the American Dream

If you are an illegal immigrant and you have not been arrested for committing a crime, the odds that you will ever be deported have now gone way, way down. With the Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, Barack Obama knows that he simply is not going to be able to get amnesty for illegal immigrants passed by Congress. But instead of giving up, Obama has decided to ram amnesty for illegal immigrants down our throats any way that he can. The head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has announced that there will now be a case-by-case review of all deportation cases involving illegal immigrants. Those involving "criminals" will be prioritized and almost all the rest will be thrown out. In essence, this is "backdoor amnesty" for illegal immigrants and it also represents a stunning admission by the Obama administration that it is simply going to refuse to enforce our immigration laws.
