The city of Newark, New Jersey, made national news recently after the execution-style slaying of three college students. They were slain by a gang allegedly headed by an illegal alien who had long ago made his violent nature obvious to authorities.

History repeats itself. This isn’t the first time Newark was the scene of a tragedy caused by lax enforcement of the immigration laws.

Here’s an article from the Jan. 21, 1993, edition of the Newark Star-Ledger:

“Muslim fundamentalists converged in Newark yesterday, keeping a six-hour vigil on a street outside the building where immigration officials held a lengthy deportation hearing for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Islamic spiritual leader who has been called 'the Ayatollah Khomeini of Egypt.' Dozens of Newark police were called in to seal off Rector Street to all traffic at 11 a.m., after more than 100 Muslim supporters gathered outside a small building where the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has rented space for judicial reviews. Federal officials are seeking the ouster of the 54-year-old blind cleric on grounds that he falsified information on his visa application.â€
