A legislative panel took the first steps today toward launching a probe into how an illegal immigrant accused of causing a traffic accident that killed three people was allowed to remain in the country despite his criminal record.

The Legislative Audit Committee voted to authorize State Auditor Sally Symanski to do preliminary research on conducting such an audit. Symanski expected that the inquiry would look at how state and local law-enforcement agencies and the judicial system interacted in the case of Francis Hernandez, 23, an illegal immigrant who had been arrested more than a dozen times in the previous five years and served jail time but was never deported.

Hernandez is accused of driving a vehicle that earlier this month in Aurora struck a pickup, killing two women as well as a 3-year-old boy who was in a nearby ice-cream shop.

"This is a topic that involves every level of government," Symanski said during the audit committee's meeting today.

Francis Hernandez, 23, an illegal immigrant who had been arrested more than a dozen times in the previous five years and served jail time but was never deported. This what I would like to know how he got such special treatment after that many arrests and he wasn't stopped until 3 people lay dead ?

Are the people of Aurora and Denver ready now to do something? Isn’t this the turf of the guy Tancredo?

Liberalism.

Is Juan McCain even listening?

Perhaps the victims’ family members could pay a personal visit to those responsible for allowing this piece of garbage to do the damage...

Boy, Bush's Homeland Security doesn't miss a trick. Those guys are on the case.

Ha a study to do an audit. Nothing will happen. This is just a good way by the dems to bury the issue again.

And, Tancredo doesn’t represent this area, it is Denver is represented by dumb dem Degette and Aurora by do nothing dem Perlmutter.

“I would like to know how he got such special treatment”

It’s amusing how they pretend we have any say in the matter. Until we control the border it’s completely out of our hands.
