The man accused of wrecking a semi along a highway in Colorado last week, killing one person and injuring another, is an illegal immigrant who has a long history of removal from the United States, authorities said.

Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, 47, of Mexico, is facing reckless driving and homicide-related charges in connection with the June 11 crash.

Mendoza was hauling a load of steep pipe on Hwy 285 near Conifer when he lost control of the semi, sending it rolling onto its side as it veered off the road, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) said.

Our immigration system is a farce. Unless of course its REAL function is a Cloward - Piven strategy.

He has been deported or agreed to voluntarily self-deport SIXTEEN TIMES before. A same nation would have had him shot or thrown in a dark dungeon by the 8th time.

Curious as to how he got
around a CDL and a commercial
drivers license.
The carrier may be in deep
doo-doo.
Unless this guy was cleared
at the border making
runs north from Mexico.
(Which would explain his 16
prior crossings).

Doesn’t say who hired him. They need to be sued into bankruptcy.

Looks like the carrier is just as good as the driver.

Maybe someone’s bank account grew a bit bigger.

Still willing to bet this
company has strong ties to
Mweico, or has been bought
off.
USA trucking is still
held to high standards
for liabilities. No
USA company wants the death
of anyone held over their
head.
Where’s the liability
lawsuit?
It’s been known for years
rhat trucks from Mexico
nowhere meet the USA’s
strident rules for trucking.

Great question. Here in Washington state, they get truck driving jobs on the big farms for trucking between the fields and the farms as that is exempt from those laws.

The REAL function is indeed a Cloward-Piven Strategy element.

Dan Bongino's Podcast had an excellent summary on it this week.

Cloward-Piven. Alinsky. Their Gods.

It’s all good. Our treasonous RINO congress likes cheap labor and the RATs like RAT voters. What’re are the deaths of Americans compared to that?

I pondered the same thing.

Of the many things we could do is go after these companies. But obviously not as important as enforcing the laws we have already.

An illegal causes a semi to crash killing one. Is anyone shocked? I hope the company gets sued out of business.

In a banana republic there are no stinking laws....except for those who speak out against the regime.

Time to make repeat illegal border crossers a death penalty crime.
