Forty six year old Melissa Powell and her sixteen-year-old son Riordan were driving in Broomfield Colorado just before Christmas when their car was struck another being driven by Jose Menjivar. Menjivar's car was estimated to be traveling at 100 mph when he struck the Powell vehicle. Powell and her son were both killed. Menjivar was found unconscious and claimed not to remember the accident. Menjivar was later determined to have a blood alcohol of .249 - more than three times the limit.
Menjivar is an illegal alien who had been deported four times. He had no valid license and I'll bet a million dollars he had no insurance.
Democrats do not want these dirtbags deported. In fact, 150 democrats voted against deporting illegal aliens who have been convicted of drunk driving.
Over two-thirds of House Democrats voted Thursday in opposition to a bipartisan measure that was passed and if enacted could result in immigrants living in the U.S. illegally being deported for a DUI conviction.Then there's House Bill HR 6678Under the Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act, "driving while intoxicated or impaired" would be grounds for "barring a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) from admission into the United States" or deporting the individual.
The vote tally was 215 Republicans and 59 Democrats in favor of the bill and 150 Democrats, including House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, voting against it. The bill passed 274-150.
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed Social Security fraud are inadmissible and deportable.155 democrats voted against that, including Minority Hakeem Jeffries. Here's the list
The Biden attitude toward illegal alien crime is the more the merrier.
Three Years of Biden Immigration Policies Have Benefitted Criminal AliensComparing ICE criminal data from fiscal years 2017-2019 to 2021-2023
For three years the Biden administration has claimed that its policies are designed to focus on criminal aliens to a greater degree than the policies under the Trump administration. As DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas put it in a September 2021 memo, "By exercising our discretionary authority in a targeted way, we can focus our efforts on those who pose a threat to national security, public safety, and border security and thus threaten America's well-being."
It is now clear that the promised outcome has not been met and that the Biden administration's policies have gutted the nation’s immigration enforcement system, with no concern about the number of criminal aliens that are being released into our communities.
Official data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveals that the Biden administration has arrested and removed significantly fewer criminal aliens than the Trump administration. (This data comes from both ICE public releases as well as a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Center for Immigration Studies.) Contrary to Secretary Mayorkas's claim, public safety and national security have been significantly undermined by the Biden administration’s reckless policies, and the threats the administration has created will continue to inflict damage on American society for many years to come.
This analysis compares the first three years of ICE criminal alien data under the Trump administration (FYs 2017, 2018, and 2019) to the first three years of ICE criminal alien data under the Biden administration (FYs 2021, 2022, and 2023), and finds that criminal aliens have been top beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s immigration agenda. A criminal alien is one who has a criminal conviction or pending criminal charges.
The data shows the Biden administration is responsible for the following when comparing FYs 2017, 2018, and 2019 to FYs 2021, 2022, and 2023:
democrats are the party representing illegal aliens and not Americans.

When an illegal alien is deported, they should have their eyes gouged out or limbs removed.
Send them back as cripples or send them back in a box. /spit
Wow.... interesting. Too bad so sad. But looks like she was the author of her own fate. Glad it wasn’t a republican.
(Now lets see if she votes in November)
Two 40-gallon water heaters are cheaper than one 80-gallon. Builders have been using two 40-gallon water heaters (instead of a single 80-gallon) in new houses for a few years now.
That, and littering.
My plumber never mentioned this. When my heater goes out, I may go with a tankless.
My house has two 40-gallon tanks, nice thing is, if one starts leaking or otherwise doesn’t work, I can valve it off and continue to use the other one and repair/replace the other one at my convenience.
Tankless electric heaters are pretty much a no-go unless you have a bunch of unused capacity in your electric panel (typically, you’ll need three 50 amp 240V circuits, for a unit sized to provide a decent temperature rise with a typical shower).
Tankless gas heaters will require upsizing the gas pipe from the meter and reworking the flue. Their burners are much larger than the 30,000BTU typical of a 40 gallon water heater.
Thanks for the info. I’m just shocked at how much certain appliances have gone up.
20 years ago I got a new 48K BTU furnace and 2-ton AC installed for $2000.
Would probably be more like $10,000 for that today, and most of it labor.
