Wife of man killed in ’07 crash hopes legislation will close loophole

"Last June, Juan Us Ralios, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant, was charged with vehicular homicide after being involved in a crash on Rt. 250 west of Strasburg in which John R. Barr, 42, of Dover was killed.

Originally, Us Ralios, a Guatemalan native, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony.

However, that charge had to be lowered to a first-degree misdemeanor because he did not have a driver’s license, according to Tuscarawas County Prosecutor Amanda Spies."....

Please write, e-mail, fax, call, your Senator, Congressman, Governor, State Rep, Senator, and all of your local elected officials. If we do nothing, we get what we deserve. Let us not forget that all 3 of our candidate for President support AMNESTY.

I'll admit that I'm no Clarence Darrow. Could someone please explain this to me?

Okay. If I were a relative of the deceased I would let my license fully expire.

Then I would wait outside the jail where this turd would be released.

Sticky gas pedal? Panic? A little alcohol?

It would only be a misdemeanor.

Amazing, isn’t it. American citizens would seem to be much better off without any traceable ‘identity’. We would qualify for free government benefits and never have to worry about medical bills, could buy homes and max out credit cards....and IF ‘authorities’ ever caught up with us, we could just go buy new ‘identities’ and start anew. Even if we committed more serious crimes, we risk being deported across a non-secured border knowing we can just return. It all just sickens me.
