Of course drunk driving is despicable. Even worse, when it is done by someone who has no business being in this country and doesn't have a drivers license. If that illegal wasn't here, the missionary would still be alive.
Would this sad situation been posted on this forum if the drunk had been a citizen or legal resident?

No, the point is that illegal immigration didn't kill this person, drink driving did.

Should the driver have been deported previously? Probably, I don't have all of the facts on them.

But their mere presence in the country isn't the problem with this case, drunk driving is.

It's fairly simple.

Heck, there would be people applauding him- 1 less illegal immigrant and all that.

Too bad the states do not execute drunk drivers who kill people, regardless of their legal status, race, ethnicity or religion.
No kidding.

The Bush 2 Admin enjoyed a period where the majority party was aligned by party with the President.

The Obama Admin enjoyed a period where the majority party was aligned by party with the President.

Neither Admin's or the Presiddnts made a dent in it.

Now we're are led to believe it's all Obama's fault.

Has not mattered who sat the oval or held the majority.

Partisanship is an excuse not the cause.

DeBlassio told CNN this on 1/29, hours before the inauguration.

DeBlassio was specific in his opinion that drunk driving without being involved in an accident was not a crime worthy of deportation.

First time DUI offenders ( presumably licensed and insured not involved in an accident) in Wisconsim get a traffic citation. It's not worthy of an arrest.

Nationally, 1/3 of those charged with DUI are repeat offenders.

Any stats showing how many DUI fatalities are caused by illegals, by chance?
Most states and municipalities within do not classify deaths caused by DUI drivers by their immigration status. There is no factual information available.

No shortage of the so called " white trailer park trash" in suburbia and rural areas. Far more likely to find trailer parks in suburbs and rural areas than anywhere else. Of course not all or even most who live in trailer parks are trashy just as one does not needs to live in a trailer park to be trashy.

Are non illegal drunk drivers acceptable on here????????????
I made the same point before happening on your post.

Nothing sensational about drunk drivers unless illegal or some other minority that seems to validate reader's perceptions.

There have been threads opposed to MADD, check points and seat belts.

An Illegal Alien who, by definition does not respect US Law, has killed this woman.

Obviously you miss the point.


A drunk should not be driving and a drunk illegal alien shouldn't have been driving and should not have been in this country. A pattern has been developed where illegal aliens are driving drunk and killing innocents. what would be the first step to prevent such a tragedy? If you guessed keeping illehal aliens out of the country and deporting them, you'd be right.
According to MADD, the rate of DUI traffic related deaths is half it was 37 years ago. Nonetheless, 10,000 +/- fatal accidents attributed to DUI occur every year.

Execute them all no matter where they were born.
