A man charged with manslaughter in the drunken-driving deaths of two people was apparently in the U.S. illegally and had obtained a driver's license in North Carolina, according to immigration officials.
Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano, 25, of Laurel, has been charged with two counts of homicide by motor vehicle in the deaths of Marine Cpl. Brian Mathews, 21, of Columbia, and Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery Village.
Mathews and Bower, who were on their second date, were killed on Thanksgiving when Morales-Soriano allegedly slammed into the back of their car. Mathews had recently finished eight months of duty in Iraq and planned to leave the military in June.
Morales-Soriano, who police said had a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving, was not injured in the crash. He was being held in the Howard County Detention Center on $830,000 bail.
There was no record of Morales-Soriano, a Mexican citizen who worked as a landscaper, entering the U.S. legally, said James Dinkins, acting special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office in Baltimore.

Why are we putting up with this?
I had sent an email to the WaPo wondering why the didn't follow up on their article yesterday.
It's a pretty sickening thing that happened is all I can say and likely preventable.
every day innocent American citizens are killed by illegals.
meanwhile Congre$$ fiddles away..
What a shame, especially after serving in Iraq and then comes home and gets killed by an illegal... Ironic and Sickening!!
Sickening, just sickening. I'm at a loss for words.
Heartbreaking story.......I weep for illegal aliens everyday...especially for the unlicensed uninsured drunken/drugged up illegal aliens who kill my bretheren, the rapists and murdering illegal aliens who came here to the US to ply their trades because in Mexico they would be imprisoned or executed for their actions. I weep for all illegal aliens who take advantage of our generosity and then stick it in our backs, while our generous government turns a blind eye towards them, except to give the illegal aliens more than I could ever hope for.
I weep.
Felice Navidad to all the illegal aliens.

More blood at the hands of the invading hordes. This time a Marine is struck down. Spin this one, Quisling.
I read about this in the Washington Post while on a train home yesterday and it made me cry. This beautiful young man was an Eagle Scout and a devout Catholic whose entire parish was praying for him every day while he was in Iraq. Then he comes home for Thanksgiving and goes out with his girlfriend and gets killed by a drunk. Just terrible.
I say let's get a short rope & a tall tree then go on a long road trip to Texas border to show what should happen to all illigals!
I shocked! Shocked!
...and our feckless supposed conservative leader tells us to eat cake
I swear to peanuts, that all this illegal immigration stuff is going to create more angry people than it dos republicans.
Uh spiffy, this guy was let go by the Maryland prosecutors(probably democrat party affiliated) earlier this year.
But somehow that is George Bush's fault to you.
Them's strong words, pilgrim.
(Sorry, I try to laugh rather than cry)

Point of order: it's a bit premature to call them boyfriend and girlfriend, considering they didn't actually finish their second date.
Good spin!

Why are we putting up with this?
------
Because it is being forced upon us by state, federal and local government officials who are more concerned about votes and campaign contributions than they are about their country and the will of the REAL American people....
Enforcement of immigration laws is a federal responsibility, not the state of Maryland's. And that responsibility rests with the Executive Branch.
So yes, it is Bush's fault.
Weak. I didn't even mention George Bush. I lay this, and other similar deaths at the hands of the invading hordes, on YOU and every other invasion-enabling Quisling like you. Stop trying to change the subject.
So yes, it is Bush's fault
So you are going to let the Maryland prosecutors, who when they had the chance to stop this guy but didn't, off the hook.
"Why are we putting up with this?"
Because El Jefe likes cheap labor.
If so, the family should sue everyone who knowingly had a part in making it possible for him to stay here.
ping
Another Bush casualty.
Uh no, see the link in reply #14, knee jerker.
This story ought to go to O'Reilly.
And, I forgot to add, tell Mrs. Dane to clean her own house for a change. It's good for character.

Guest Opinion: North American Union Would Supplant U.S. Sovereignty
By (Senator) KAREN S. JOHNSON (R)
Tucson Citizen
I just returned from a week in Washington, D.C., with a group of concerned women where we learned about the Security and Prosperity Partnership, also known as "The North American Union."
This partnership was agreed upon at a private meeting held in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, among then-president of Mexico Vicente Fox, U.S. President George Bush and then-Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada. The SPP is an agreement to merge our United States of America with Mexico and Canada.".............
http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/opinion/34211.php
This story ought to go to O'Reilly
And O"reilly will blame Bush and not the Maryland prosecutors who let the guy go.

Who's captain of the Ship of State? Some piddly DA in MD?
Uh that piddly DA in Maryland didn't do his job. BTW, that is a local elected office, should the Fed Govt. take over all local prosecutions, according to your "logic".
I moved to Georgia from Oklahoma. In addition to my Oklahoma drivers license, the Georgia Drivers License folks insisted on having a certified copy of my birth certificate. (There were other criteria which could be used, but all were dedicated to the proposition that you were in the state legally.)
I wasn't offended - in fact, thought it was an excellent idea.
This mess IS his fault. This failed GOP Bush administration has had 6 years to control the border. It's still wide open. It's a tragedy that this GOP Bush administration likes open borders as much as the Democrats do.
Is GWBush a conservative? Americans say NO.
Marine mourned after drunken driving crashLuke Broadwater, The Examiner
Nov 29, 2006 3:00 AM (1 day ago)
Columbia - Marine Cpl. Brian Mathews was patrolling downtown Ramadi, Iraq, on Nov. 11, 2005, when his unit fell victim to an insurgent sniper ambush.
But Mathews, 21, of Columbia, never flinched.
He was beside me the whole time, said Cpl. Daniel Robinson, 22, of Texas, Mathews squad leader. He was giving his team commands. He was a perfectionist Marine, and it really showed. We didnt have one casualty or one killed in action in the ambush.
Now Mathews fellow Marines are mourning his death after police say a drunken driver killed the 21-year-old on Thanksgiving night while he was home visiting his family in Columbia.
Reached at Camp Pendleton in California, Cpl. Garrett Farris, 21, of Texas, said the Marines who served with Mathews are distraught over his death.
Its more anger than anything, he said. A guy goes to war and has no problems with that. He comes back to the States, and its supposed to be our safe place.
Those sentiments were echoed by Lance Cpl. Jae Lee, 21, of Orange County, Calif., who served with Mathews in Ramadi.
He was a really good friend, Lee said. I was shocked at first when I heard what happened. He went through seven months in Iraq, and to get hit by a drunken driver is unfair.
Mathews and Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery Village, were killed after a crash at 10:20 p.m. on Route 175 in Columbia, when police say a 25-year-old man who was drinking and driving slammed into their car.
Police have charged Eduardo Raul Morales Soriano, 25, of Laurel, with homicide by motor vehicle, manslaughter while intoxicated, and driving while under the influence of alcohol. Soriano was not injured, police said.
Mathews fellow Marines remember him as a solid, responsible Marine. They say his death is a huge loss to the force.
Is GWBush a conservative? Americans say NO.
And that's why they elected a 'conservative", nancy pelosi House.
"Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it. Winston Churchill.
Huh? I ain't the one defending the Maryland DA who didn't do his job.
I don't know what your real deal is here, why you make it your business to promote tolerance of lawbreaking on this forum. But there aren't many last straws left for conservatives.
Not just the folks in MD apparently...
License tag scam costing drivers [non-residents dodging high insurance rates by using NC plates]
From that link:
For years, North Carolina had a reputation as an easy place for illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses. That's tougher to do now, but the state still accepts certain Mexican documents as proof of identification for registering a car.
Lovely.
I don't know what your real deal is here, why you make it your business to promote tolerance of lawbreaking on this forum. But there aren't many last straws left for conservatives.
Huh? Whew the hyperbole is really flying now. Yuh know this could have been avoided if the Maryland DA had done his job.
The illegal alien should never have made it to Maryland.
Ahmmmm.....that's AFTER he serves the 15-yrs-to-life (or whatever) for two counts of manslaughter right?????????
Talk about your Cindy Sheehans--here's a family with a real beef to take to Washington.
That really struck me too.. so what really happens here? .. does this murdering illegal just get deported.. so he can sneak right back in and do some more killing?!?
I wouldn't think so....but what do I know???
Maybe another here can clarify...
Anyone?????
