I think your suggestion to send these articles to the President and Chertoff is excellent....these folks are so far within the Beltway, they literally haven't any idea at ALL of how things really are out here....

[MisouriMule]

This is the loophole anyone withe a Black Heart that wants to do Crime in this country. Clain that you are here Illegaly and the police will have to let you go.

"So what do you propose should be done with the driver of the Explorer? Should he be shot on sight?"....our elected representatives, IF they weren't derelict on this issue, are supposed to provide the legislative direction (and ensure enforcement) to that issue.

One of our brightest and best young citizens was killed by an illegal alien scumbag.

Why does Bush allow an invasion from another nation go unanswered. Mr. Bush, you are no Teddy Roosevelt. The destruction of our national sovereignty will be in the history books for generations to reflect on, and it is happening right now under GOP majorities. Please, folks, continue to demand that your Republican elected officials start acting like conservatives. If they are too liberal for you, ask them to join the RAT party.

He is in hospital and in police custody. He will go to jail, I'm sure.

You'd have to be insane, stupid, or severely severely drunk to drive that fast in a vehicle with such a high center of gravity.

I-485, which has just been built is designed to encourage the car to "hug the road". It's smooth and has a perfect road camber which has the unfortunate side effect of encouraging high speeds of travel when the road is less crowded.

[Squat]

Just driv'in on the wrong side of the road that 'Merican's won't do.

[TaxRelief]

If you are not a citizen, [and] our constitution doesn't apply to you... what should apply, then?

International POW treatment standards.

[metalurgist]

Americans don't drive drunk?

Yes they do, and we have enough of them now and don't need to import any more.

[Mamzelle]

Did the illegal even have insurance? So many do not!

[TaxRelief]

I'll bet more US citizens have been killed by illegal aliens since 9/11 than died in 9/11.

We should hold demonstrations with "coffins of victims of illegal immigrant crime", the way "pacifists" hold demonstrations over Iraq. We should also keep count and make the press write news stories everytime the count hits 1000, 2000, 3000, etc.

Unfortunately, most of the press won't even attempt to identify whether or not the perpetrators are illegal or not.

[Mamzelle]

Here's an idea...find out who employs the illegal...and drag him into the light of day, or find some way to sue him. An Expedition is not a cheap vehicle...

[calrighty]

Thaqnks. Pardon my paranoia, but they let almost all these thugs O/R.

[TaxRelief]

Perhaps the owner of the vehicle can be held responsible?

[Mamzelle]

Must not have read closely enough...I had assumed the illegal owned the vehicle? They certainly own a lot of vehicles in my town--even the teens...

"It's very hard for us to maintain contact with the person after they're charged."Why not hold him w/o bail?I assume it would be easier to "maintain contact" if the perp were sitting in jail.Can't a person be denied bail if he/she is considered a flight risk?

[NRA1995]

"Whenever you're here illegally, it's very hard for us to maintain contact with the person after they're charged," Huffstickler said.

I think it's easy to stay in contact.....just throw them in jail and keep 'em there till deported! In my world, "deported" means dropped into the middle of some very lonely Mexican desert.

Got caught up in that BS back in 2001 in Denver...totalled my truck! All I learned was what a P.O.S. Allstate Insurance is after 18 years with them. Got treated like I was a criminal for the only accident I've ever been in where I suffered any kind of injury. What put it over the top was that it wasn't even my fault!

Statefarm is doing a lot better...

This would have NEVER have happened had he been issued a DL.
