Immigration
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., was in town Saturday talking about immigration and the San Francisco snafu.
"I have two daughters, two beautiful daughters, and my heart aches for this young woman whose life was snuffed out because everyone ignored the record of a career criminal," he said on a visit for neighborhood forums with U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth.
Gutierrez said the suspect should "rot in hell."
