Would the outrage be less if a US citizen 80-year old grandmother ran into the bus and killed the children because she was a legal resident, had a driver's license and insurance?
It would depend.
If the 80 year old grandmother was drunk driving or impaired for a reason she could control and drove anyhow -- then yes it would be outrageous.
If the 80 year old grandmother had been denied a drivers license maybe due to poor eyesight and chose to drive out of stubborness and total self-centeredness then yes it would be outrageous.
If the 80 year old was driving with a valid license and had a heart attack or stroke while driving, then it would be a tragedy.
And if the 80 year old was driving but not at all competent and the state was issuing valid licences or her family knew she was not competent and made no effort to stop her from driving, then it would be the fault of those other people.
The illegal in this case was not "accidently" driving, she had no right to be driving in this country, she knew she couldn't read the signs but she had total disregard for the lives of others.

Yes, because then it would have been a terrible accident. If the illegal had not been in the country in the first place then this particular accident would not have happened. Why is it that you people have such a hard time with the concept of illegal?
Hey, this was a legitimate question with no judgment whatsoever about the peson being illegal or not. LEARN TO READ! Malamute's answer is the kind I'm looking for.

Good, you got yhe answer you wanted. I did read it and I answered. Just because you did not like my answer does not mean I have no right to post it. I never said it was not a legitimate question. You need some thicker skin friens.
Please post a disclaimer then stating you want only positive responses that agree with you.
I believe you only want to "preach to the choir"
Malamute neither agreed nor disagreed with me. It was neither a positive nor negative response...it was a qualified response. I think it's you that only wants to hear one side.

The question has been answered over and over through the whole thread....go back and read from the beginning, it's not long, and you will see the answer several times.
American teenagers have a required subject, "DRIVERS TRAINING" This teaches them WHAT TO DO WHEN THEY SEE A SCHOOL BUS. LOADED OR NOT. The ILLEGAL HAD NO TRAINING NO LICENSE NO INSURANCE. People sticking up for this "ILLEGAL" needs to meet an ILLEGAL on the highway with NO DRIVERS LICENSE NO INSURANCE. BET YOUR TOON WOULD CHANGE IN A HEARTBEAT!
Yes, not having good language skills puts you at a disadvantage when trying to express ideas...it's not MY responsibility to understand you , it's your responsibility to speak correct English.
If that CRIMINAL who murdered those children had understood English maybe she could've read a driver's manual or a Stop sign or speed limit sign or a LAW...she CHOSE not to.
She is also charged with identy theft and several other things ....she is a criminal....on a crime spree....she did not give a DAMN about anyone but herself!!!!!!
And no poster has to shut up because YOU say so.
FYI I do have good English skills, I was referring to "Illegal Immigrants". Now you and me know, not everyone reads a manual, and my god on the stop sign part. You have to be an idiot not to know what that means, if you travel to any city in Latin America. You will see a Stop sign looks exactly the same as it does in the U.S expect it says Alto. You must be joking on the crime spree obviously. And how the hell do you know if she didn't care about those kids that died? From what you said right there it looks like you think Illegal Immigrants don't have any feelings about others. Please correct yourself.

Obviously she wouldn't right? She is "illegal".

Here we go again, the stop sign. Please take a closer look from what you say now, ok? I can bet you that 100% of illegal immigrants that chose to drive know what a stop sign is. Again I ask you to correct yourself, and think before you make any comments.

Look at the ignorance in this post. You really do think Illegal immigrants are idiots right? thats terrible, who ever raised you did a terrible job.

Illegal entry and working shouldn't even be as bad as driving without a license, identification theft, etc. Illegals come to the U.S for a better life, and opportunity for them and their family.

I'm not gonna go over this again, just read at the other quotes I replied to. So now you say she had no driving skills? Give me a source that says that. People in Latin American can drive you know? They know what a Red, Yellow, Green light means.

Due to her disregard for the lives of others, 4 children are dead, and their families are grieving.
OMG you don't know anything about others life, do you? People like you, think Illegals immigrants are from another planet. If an illegal immigrants comes to the U.S, they are not willing to break a law to get caught that will stupid.

One day a psychotic patient leaves the facility and enters your house, killing 4 members of your family. On the basis of your argument, the hospital should not be held liable for the murders. After all, people are murdered each day in this country. Can you not understand that these murders were 100% preventable? ‘This’ patient could not have had access to your house had the hospital been properly secured. Sure - someone other than this mental patient ‘could have’ entered your house and killed your family. However, ‘this’ individual is the perpetrator.
Can YOU see that those people have mental issues, unlike illegal immigrants. Illegals know what they are doing, so what your saying there does not go with this issue. Their government will not pay for their consequences. Because they chose to arrive here for a better life.

I get what your saying. I agree on she paying for the consequences. But still things like this happen. She came because she wanted to come, you can prevent her entrance to the U.S

Do we really need to tolerate the illegal importation of crime and suffering simply because we have legal citizens who commit crimes?
Oh she shouldn't be excused for her actions, she deserves to go to jail and probably even deported. Illegal crime and resident crime doesn't make any difference. Crime is everywhere.
