Jonathan DelCarmen is 19. He came to this country illegally seven years ago, when he was 12. He fits the profile of the prototypical “DREAM” youth whom President Obama has granted administrative amnesty to (and wants to expand massively) — and whom open-borders advocates in both parties believe should be immune from deportation, showered with in-state college tuition discounts, and eligible for a driver’s license and eventual citizenship.
Pictured above are the horrified relatives of Xinran Ji. Ji was 24. He came to America legally to study engineering at USC.
Ji is dead.
Illegal alien youth DelCarmen was charged with his heinous murder, along with several other teen suspects:
DelCarmen is one of four teenagers charged with capital murder in the July 24 assault that killed Ji, an engineering graduate student from China. Police said Ji was walking home from a study group about 12:45 a.m. when he was attacked near campus, just blocks away from his apartment.

With House Republicans struggling Friday to agree on a border security bill and a similar effort stalled in the Senate, Barack Obama all but said what most political pundits have predicted for weeks: He’s once again ready to wield the mighty “pen” and “phone” and rule by executive order.
Speaking during a hastily-called news conference, Obama said, in part:
“I’m going to have to act alone because we don’t have enough resources. Without additional resources and help from Congress we’re just not going to have the resources to fully solve the problem . . . While they’re out on vacation, I’m going to have to make some tough choices to meet the challenge.”
The truth? According to the Congressional Budget Office, only $25 million would be spent in FY2014. Moreover, 100% of that $25 million would be spent by the Department of Health and Human Services for the housing, care, and relocation of illegal aliens, not the Department of Homeland Security – the agency responsible for securing the border.

“We face a grave humanitarian and national security crisis at the border – and Americans all across this country are asking for leadership. They’re asking for solutions. And that’s what our legislation does: it provides a serious solution to a serious problem. Our plan reallocates $694 million to secure the border, provide emergency care, and prevent future arrivals. This will ensure that children are reunited with families in their home countries. Our solution addresses the problem humanely, effectively, and expeditiously. The crisis at the border demands our attention. It demands our action. And it demands our immediate and unwavering leadership.”
