Murdered for being an immigrant | SocialistWorker.org: "THE MURDER of Luis Ramírez in Shenandoah, Pa., is the horrifying outcome of a climate of hate and scapegoating whipped up against undocumented immigrants. On July 29, demonstrators gathered in Vine Street Park on to denounce the racist murder of Ramírez, a Mexican immigrant, by a group of white teenagers.
In that same park on July 12, a group of high school students brutally beat and kicked Ramírez in the head while calling him racist slurs. According to witnesses, his attackers called him 'stupid Mexican' and 'fucking wetback' and told him to 'go back to Mexico.'
After being kicked in the head severely, Ramírez 'started shaking and foaming out of the mouth,' said Arielle García. Ramírez died two days latter in the hospital as a consequence of the head injury sustained in the beating.
Luis Ramírez was a 25-year-old Mexican immigrant who worked in a factory and picked strawberries. He moved to Shenandoah six years ago and, together with 24-year-old Crystal Dillman, was raising three children."
