An illegal immigrant who killed a police office while driving the wrong way in on an Arizona freeway Monday had a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit, the Associated Press reported Friday. Raul Silva Corona had driven 35 miles in the wrong direction on three freeways with a blood alcohol level of .238 percent in the wee hours of Monday morning before he killed Mesa Police Officer Brandon Mendoza, according to the AP's report. In Arizona, a driver is considered intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent. Mendoza, who served for thirteen years at the Mesa Police Department, was on his way home from work. Customs and Immigration Enforcement told the AP that Corona, who was also killed in the crash, was from Mexico and in the country illegally. This was not the first time Corona had broken the law. The AP notes that in 1994 Corona plead guilty to a criminal conspiracy charge in Colorado, and prosecutors dismissed other charges of burglary, assault, and leaving the scene of an accident.News of the accident comes as lawmakers express outrage at a recent report revealing that last year ICE released more than 36,000 criminal immigrants convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes. According to the document, 16,070 of those convictions were from drunk or drugged driving.

It’s TIME that we hold our Federal Govt, the Illegal Immigrant Lobby, Mexico, etc. accountable for the mayhem/Law breaking/killing/maiming these people are causing in our Country.
How tragic.
Indeed - illegal immigrant kills drunk cop. WTH? These papers must hire grade school kids
yes, horrible. Happens everyday across this Country and our Govt. is responsible and should be held accountable.
At least the perp killed himself but chose to violate more of our laws and murder an innocent.
In addition to, ‘they will then be able to purchase insurance’. They will buy insurance my arse. Another straw argument from the Illegal Immigrant lobby.
“These papers must hire grade school kids”
I’ve sold 57 articles. Sometimes the title made no sense. The editor said that it went to the copy setter okay, but they trimmed it to fit. (I’m not sure I buy that as I’d be shocked if they still set type like that.)
The selective enforcement of such laws is a civil rights nightmare facing this administration. Either non-citizens should ALSO be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as it is applied to the citizens of this country or else the laws need to be stricken from the books.
Holy poorly-worded headline, Batman!
I think the drunken cop on the wrong side of the road was asking for it.
An article from the local media on this murder (which is what is was).
Equal Protection Clause is being violated daily by our Federal Govt.
This scam has been in place for many years, the immigrants buy a one month policy from a shyster company, this gets them a certificate which allows them to register their vehicle and them they just let the insurance lapse. In California they are supposed to tow your car if are found to not have current insurance or registration but the liberals say that is unfair to this special class and don't want it enforced on them.
I remember that law in LA that was recently “relaxed” for the special group of lawbreakers. Thank you for reminding me.
Do not read while driving!

Reminds me of the scene in planes, trains and automobiles.
