SIERRA VISTA — Two illegal immigrants have been arrested after authorities said they subdued a man in his home with duct tape and stole his car.
Brothers Gilberto Quiroz-Moreno, 27, and Fernando Quiroz-Moreno, 35, have been charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping, motor vehicle theft and two counts of burglary.
The incident occurred in the unincorporated community of Cochise, southwest of Willcox, according to Carol Capas, spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office.

Ya know, it’s time for Americans to forget the Political Correctivness of how
to treat criminals. Am so very worn that we allow illegals to continue
crossing illegally. One question I’ve been asking for years.. turn this in
the other direction, if this same situation happened in Mexico what would
happen to the Americans? Open your eyes America, they are simply here to rip
us off be it by taking our jobs or stealing our food and often times lives.
We need to look deeply into the needs of Americans right here in our own
county. Let me ask you this, if one of the guys that lives behind the grocery
stores in town showed up on your front porch would you let him in, let him
make long distance international calls then cook his food for him too? Sad to
think, I bet none of us would! Am glad this good man is ok, just hope he
keeps his doors locked and not be so trusting again for his own sake! He’s a
good man and we need more nieghbors like him.
BeachBum-I agree with you in much of what you say,particulary pertaining to
the beginning aspects.However,if you read below you’ll see that I had done
whatever I could to help others.It’s not been my first,just my latest.It
won’t be my last.I won’t let one bad apple spoil the whole orchard!Another
example,my brother had infact taken a complete homeless man off the
street,put him in up in his home.Spent a couple hundred dollars on
clothes,got him a job at a local food chain.Why?For the sake of doing
it!Please don’t be so quick to judge us all to have a blind eye or turn the
other cheek just so we can go on with our life.We aren’t all that wrapped up
into ourselves.You contradict yourself by saying he shouldn’t have been so
trusting & learned his lesson.BUT yet we need more neighbors like him?What,we
can only HELP certain people?Who might that be?Criminals wear signs? RR
At least in this story they are illegals, and not just immigrants…

I suppose the immigrations rights folks will jump on this one and defend
these poor unfortunate individuals, who through no fault of their own were
compelled by the need to survive to take these things without asking. Oh, and
they couldn’t help but tie this guy up. After all, if they hadn’t, he might
have resisted, or even worse, called the horrible Border Patrol agency, who
is a bunch of goons who hate illegals, right? These guys should have rights
too, right? And they should receive amnesty so they can stay here legally and
steal more stuff from rich Americans, right? After all, Americans have way
too much stuff anyway, and entirely too much money, right?
Steve: With tongue in cheek, am I to agree with you? GRIN!!!
No, just because they aren’t criminals from across the border, doesn’t make
them “safe”. I’m sorry for the scum you encountered.
It is so hard anymore to be ‘nice’ to people nowadays. I did the same Good
Samaritan to others. Opened my home, transportation, unconditional trust. In
the end I had so much stolen and been betrayed in the worst of ways. Being
disabled puts you at others mercy in conditions I never would of fathomed.
However, I still WANT to believe in the goodness in people. A tighter
bordered would not have helped in my situation, its committed even by the US
Citizens. Trust? Who can we TRUST anymore?
And there are people out there who question what I have against illegl entry.
This is another example.
Since “The undocumented aliens are only doing jobs that Americans won’t”:
What jobs, need people like these two, that rob and steal from “Good
Samaritans”? “Junk and scrap metal collectors maybe; the two DID take the
Volvo.” Jocularity aside, I hope next time the victim will have leaned his
lesson and call the BP. How long before the Government takes an interest in
the safety of its citizens and BUILDS THE WALL and SEALS THE BORDER! Time to
quit trading LIVES and SAFETY for VOTE!
