I understand that the following: "Illegal alien indicted for child rape," is
strictly a cultural item and not a social issue as far as Latin American males
are concerned. I am aware of, and open to considerations of cultural differences
and the acceptance of such. However, I draw the line at animal and child abuse.
I also understand that the problem of illegal immigration across Mexico’s
borders is impacting the New England states now. Just as I predicted when I
heard from Mr. J. Connors, (http://magic-city-news.com/article_3029.shtml) your local
Maine LULAC regional director. Once the "Race Card," regardless of what race it
is, comes into play, the issue exists already.
Read the following if you haven’t already and then decide what is acceptable
cultural differences to you and what is not. Framingham understandably wants
justice for the eleven year old girl, thus attempting to prevent the pending
deportation of Luciano Souza.
Be advised while mulling this over, that the costs of justice do not come
cheaply for any American taxpayers. The national average of tax money spent
annually per inmate in state prisons is $26,000. There is a higher per inmate
price tag for containment in our federal penitentiaries.
How many more do you ‘house’ at your expense? Inmates contained because of
our government's failure to secure American borders. Even if securing them means
only safeguarding against future problematic cultural acts. Acts that are
accepted in other nations and just not accepted, culturally speaking, in the
United States.
Then think about who is paying in the end. Besides the little 11 year
old New England girl.

Illegal alien indicted for child rape
By Norman Miller / Daily News Staff
Saturday, May 14, 2005
A Framingham man accused of raping an 11-year-old girl in his home earlier
this year was indicted by a Middlesex County grand jury for the assault.
A spokeswoman for the Middlesex District Attorney's office said Luciano
Souza, 48, of Elm Street, was charged with one count of child rape. No superior
court arraignment date has been set.
Souza has been in custody since his arrest. He is accused of raping the girl
sometime prior to April 7 in his apartment.
During a hearing in Framingham District Court, prosecutors requested $100,000
bail for Souza. Prosecutor Deb Bercovitch said she was worried that if Souza
made bail, he would be deported by federal authorities.
Souza is an illegal immigrant from Brazil, who came to the United States by
crossing the Mexican border. He has lived in Massachusetts for five years.
Bail was set at $50,000.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has started proceedings to
deport Souza.
Souza is accused of raping the 11-year-old girl in his Elm Street home
sometime before April 7. According to court records, Souza was giving a massage
to the girl and then raped her.
