Just shown on TV that this illegal alien was arrested for causing an accident by hitting a car from behind that caused the death of the person in the car that was hit.

The illegal alien woman was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI)!

She doesn't have a drivers license!

Another illegal that shouldn't be here that rips apart an US family!

I wonder how much the mainstream media will report about this case as it doesn't fit their narrative.

I bet mainstream media will have tons of reports today about the so called "immigrant stay at home day".

If they all stay at home and stayed at "home" than this man would be alive today!

You can say the same about any DUI-related fatality. If all those drunks would stay home instead of drive, a lot fewer people would be killed in car accidents.

Throw the book at her, I'm good with that. I'm also good with throwing the book at drunk citizens, too.

Although the rate has been decreasing, drunk drivers kill around 30 people a day.

I agree. Obviously, I have sympathy for the family in this incident, but it is simply carnage out there by people under the influence. Indeed, the rise of 'text messaging' is leading to a spike in traffic accidents (particularly among younger drivers), whereas the accident rate had been going down for years.


My personal story: when I was a youth (early 70s), my girlfriend's mother was killed by a drunk driver. She was driving on a Native American reservation in New Mexico, when she was struck by a drunk Native American. For reasons I cannot fathom, her killer (for such he was) never served one single day in jail. Back then I was told that since the accident occurred on a reservation, normal state laws did not apply.


We must not lose sight of the bigger picture. It is good to protest the presence of illegals, and to condemn their criminal actions. But to claim, at least implicitly, that 'life would be good' if all illegals were gone, or that their absence would cause even a slight dip in the carnage that occurs everyday on our highways (38,300 deaths in 2015; the final number shall be more for 2016), is to have myopic vision.

This is what democrats support just so they can game the system to improve their chances in elections, and get more representation in congress.

Shameful.

This is tragic. If they did not have a license then they likely did not have the proper insurance so what is the family to do?

I personally have almost been killed by an illegal alien driver who was towing a backhoe. They were speeding down a back road and hit a bump in the road which lifted the trailer off the hitch (improperly secured), which came directly at me. Had to take an evasive action which put me in a ditch and the trailer with backhoe missed me by less than a foot. Driver tried to get away but vehicle was ID'd by someone who witnessed it and they were caught within 15 minutes. Wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this sometimes. Police said the driver was illegal and had a fake drivers license/ID. The truck was not properly inspected nor properly insured. If it had been my daughter driving who had just received her license she likely wouldn't have had the experience to avoid the collision. I am 100% in favor of Trumps policies for this and other reasons.

To be honest, the fact that it was a DUI death is more relevant than the fact that the driver was an illegal alien, at least in reality world. And would it been just as significant to conservatives if it had been an old Black man or a Rabbi who had been killed as a Christian missionary?
