What's funny is that when I googled "kenya diplomatic immunity rape" to try to find some mention of this story, the first link that came up lead me... to this very thread. I could find no other source for this alleged case.At any rate, if a Kenyan rapes a woman in NYC and then claims diplomatic immunity (and is actually given it), then the US ought to insist that he is prosecuted and punished at home, and cut off diplomatic relations and foreign aid until he is. Diplomatic immunity does not entitle a diplomat to do whatever he wants; nations have other tools at their disposal.And as I've said before, diplomats are by definition not immigrants. The absurdly unfair leniency immigrants are given is an issue entirely separate from diplomatic immunity.
