I wonder what the immigration status is of Jose Luis Vargas?

Is it wrong for me to ask?

Gower Gulch is pedestrian heavy surface streets. Going fast enough to kill people in a car is gross negligence at best.

Seriously ...How f-—ed up is a country whose President wants to give amnesty to these lowlifes , and whose people sit idly by allowing said country to be overrun with aforementioned lowlifes ? The end is near !

Jose Luis Vargas killed People Who Matter (PWMs). It is illegal to kill PWMs in California. He is in a heap of trouble now...

If he turns out to be an illegal alien, it might change some peoples attitudes about the importance of controlling the border. Funny things happen when PWMs get killed.

You must stop thinking politically incorrect thoughts.

We will have to re-program your brain.

Please check in to the nearest Democratic Party facility, or we will be coming for you.

Thank you,

The Management

Doesn't have to be... These were "people" (as opposed to those hicks who routinely get killed by druink drivers, illegally here, or otherwise, in "flyover country"...)

I predict it will soon be considered a hate crime to inquire about the immigration status of a criminal.

Hey, George Bush, a couple more casualties from those “hardworking immigrants” you love to talk about. I have read that as many as 25 Americans a day die at the hands of these invaders.

bookmark. As everyone I am curious about his immigration status. I believe he ran a red light going quite fast and thus the murder charges.

PWM in this particular case are more than likely liberal Democrats. Doesn’t matter, they have gone to be with Jesus. Just maybe the liberals that don’t think controlled immigration is important will have a change of heart.

[Was there intent?]

The intent is transferred from choosing to knowingly drive while intoxicated. Nice little legal trap.

Yeah, you dont have to be illegal to kill someone in a car crash do you? Perhaps we should ask someone. Do you think Bush knows anyone who’s killed someone in a car crash?

Why is everyone assuming this guy was an illegal?
