Illegal [alien] detained in death of 'Christmas Story' director [repost of article from 2007]
World Net Daily ^ | April 6, 2007

An illegal alien suspected of causing a traffic accident and killing movie director Bob Clark, whose “A Christmas Story” has come alongside “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street” as a perennial holiday must-watch, has been placed under an immigration hold by federal authorities.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency placed the hold on Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, a Mexican national who was living in Los Angeles as an illegal immigrant

he was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol and vehicular manslaughter

Police have reported they believe Velazquez-Nava was driving his sport utility vehicle and steered it into the wrong lane on the Pacific Coast Highway early Wednesday. He struck Clark’s car head-on, and police say Clark and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, were pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, Velazquez-Nava was tested and had a 0.24 percent blood-alcohol level about the time of the accident, which would be three times what the state law considers enough to be presumed to be driving drunk.

Velazquez-Nava reportedly was driving without a license, and he and a passenger, identified as Lidia Mora, 29, were treated for minor injuries.

With all the recent talk about illegal aliens, I just wanted to remind everyone that the guy who directed the absolutely lovely 1983 movie "A Christmas Story" was killed by a drunk driving, illegal alien, who had no driver's licence, and who crossed the center line and hit him head on. The director's 22 year old son was also killed in the crash.

Hundreds of stories like this. These families should be marching on Washington & all Americans should be out protesting. Someone has to stop the madness in DC.

At Tuesday's House hearing on immigration, CONG LOUIE GOHMERT (REP-TX) had this eye-opening exchange with the Obama appointee rubber-stamping illegals into the US:

GOHMERT: WRT drug cartels paid $6000 to "guide" the hordes over the border---"Would you, as a former prosecutor, call them criminals?," he nonchalantly asked Obama appointee, Leon Rodriguez--now heading a DHS agency.

The smirking Rodriguez stepped headlong into the trap as Cong Gohmert casually hoisted him on his own petard.....making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they are consorting w/ the criminals, and are paying the violent breed to accompany them over the border?

Touche, Rep Gohmert.
