Geraldo Rivera and others come to the defense of the Virginia Beach mayor. Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly attacked Mayor Meyera Oberndorf again on his show Thursday night.
O’Reilly said Alfredo Ramos should have been deported after a previous drinking charge.Police said Ramos, an illegal immigrant, was believed to be intoxicated when he ran into 17-year-old Allison Kuhnhardt and 16-year-old Tessa Tranchant’s vehicle Friday night, killing them. The mayor said it is not the city’s job to enforce American borders.Rivera told O’Reilly, “It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, it has to do with drunk driving and I think you owe that mayor an apology.”
Look, let’s be honest about this; (and by the way I’ve said this several times before in these spaces,) Bill O’Reilly is the south end of a northbound horse. Complete with flies. However; just as a blind pig will occasionally find an acorn, Bill O’Reilly has got this one right.
The denials from the Virginia Beach police chief and the Mayor and the council there elicit no sympathy from me. Each one of them, when they took their oaths of office, swore to uphold the constitution. That means, as a direct consequence of that oath, that their task is also immigration, since immigration has a constitutional matter. By the way, that comment is also directed at governor Tim Kaine. None of these idiots not a one of them, is doing their job. Pointing fingers at the Fed is a dodge.
The very reason that this is become an issue, is because local municipalities local officials are falling down on their job. That kind of Federal infrastructure required to take over all immigration issues as is being demanded by these idiots, has never existed previously. And yet, we’ve never had the problem to the degree we have now. The reason? The local officials have abdicated their jobs. Jobs they swore they’d do.
And in the case of Virginia beach, two girls are dead as a direct result of that abdication.
Finally, let’s discuss the worthless slug, Rivera.
Rivera told O’Reilly, “It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, it has to do with drunk driving and I think you owe that mayor an apology.”
The guy was here illegally. Period. By even being here, the man shows disrespect for our laws. Does anyone really think that laws as regards drunk driving are going to be respected anymore that our immigration laws are, by this guy, or anyone else, for that matter?
Addendum: (David L) Allahpundit, Hot Air, has the video. Gotta go along with O’Reilly on this one. The discussion only got heated after Rivera insisted that illegal immigration had nothing to do with the problem.
That would be like saying, that I got staggering drunk broke into Rivera’s house, passed on his floor and then insisted the burgalry had nothing to do with it. Rivera, and all those who defend him, are in denial.

I note, and msy post on it later, that while the leftards are all over Bill O’Reilly, they are giving Geraldo Riveria a free pass. I watched the video, it was a shouting match. That is on both sides. Yet the Memeorandem ledes all about O’Reilly.
The point the leftards miss about O’Reilly, is that he isn’t a conservative. He just is the rare commentator willing to ask hard questions, and demand answers.

David, anything to the right of Castro, anymore is considered ‘conservative’.
Look at how they label Bush… who also is no conservative.
