Ted Poe: “Officer Brian Jackson loved his job. He had been a member of the Dallas Police Department since 2001. He moved to Dallas…”

“Officer Brian Jackson loved his job. He had been a member of the Dallas Police Department since 2001. He moved to Dallas from his hometown in Rhode Island because he wanted to ``be a big city cop.'' But in the early morning hours of last Sunday, the last 15 minutes of his shift, Officer Brian Jackson, 28, responded to one last call. His shift was basically over, but he agreed to answer one more emergency. It was not only his last call of the night, but it was his last call ever. Officer Jackson was responding to a domestic disturbance call when he was murdered, allegedly by an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Lizcano. But this crime could have been avoided. This illegal alien had been arrested twice in the last year, but because of safe haven sanctuary laws in Dallas, he was never deported. Because of these preposterous laws, a dedicated police officer, husband, and friend lost his life. Officer Jackson and his newlywed wife had just returned from a delayed honeymoon in Hawaii. Americans are dying because the government does not protect our borders. This is yet another example of our Nation's flawed immigration policy. This ought not to be. ____________________”
