Today’s Los Angeles Times reports that Hector Velazquez-Nava was driving not just drunk but three times the legal limit when he collided with Bob Clark and his son on Wednesday night. The man who killed Bob Clark is listed as a resident of Los Angeles but, according to E Online, he is officially a Mexican national illegally in the United States. Spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, Lori Haley, confirmed that Hector Velazquez-Nava was in the country illegally.

TMZ reports that Hector Velazquez-Nava was charged today with two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while he was intoxicated. If he is convicted in the deaths of Bob Clark and his son, Hector Velazquez-Nava might go to jail for twelve years. The site reports, in conflict with the Times, that Hector Velazquez-Nava pleaded not guilty to the charges after they were issued, but both sources note that he’s being kept in jail unable to pay a $200,000 bail.

I can’t believe the same guy directed BOTH of these movies. A Christmas Story is about as wholesome as you can get but Porky’s originally got an “X” rating, later cut to “R”.

A long-ago ex-boyfriend of mine lost his oldest kid to a drunk illegal a few years back. The POS illegal was drunk on his @$$, and had neither registration, license, nor insurance. His whole family was in the car with him. He lied to the investigator and said that the driver "went that-a-way!" By the time they'd figured out he was lying, his blood alcohol level went down.

But here's the part I can't understand: They never even arrested this POS for manslaughter! He apparently got away scot-free.

A few years later, my friend lost another of his three kids to a hit-and-run driver in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they had moved some years prior. That driver has never been found. He plowed into the girl and kept on going. It is not known for sure, but according to witnesses he might have been Hispanic.

To all those that say it is just a case of Drunk Driving vs. Illegals....

If he took out a gun and shot these people would it be just a case of homicide? If he sold them drugs and they were Overdoses, would it be just another Drug case?

The reason they are dead is because this person is here to perform the crime. And he has no legal right to be here. There is something wrong with the argument that this tragedy was just another Drunken Driver on the road.

both sources note that he's being kept in jail unable to pay a $200,000 bail.

The good news is that if he does manage to post bail ICE will take custody of him.

If he posts bail, Velazquez-Nava would be taken into federal custody on the immigration hold, [ICE spokeswoman Virginia] Kice said.
