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.

Wrong way on the freeway is a common story for drunk driving fatalities. All it takes is turning onto the wrong ramp, and that's easy to do in a lot of places, especially at night, when drunk.
As most readers probably know, the most common place to encounter such drivers is coming straight at you in the left (your left) lane, i.e. the passing lane. The drunk generally knows he's drunk and is hugging what he thinks is the right lane, going slow, and a lot of times has forgotten to turn on his headlights.
I think we all need to chip in and buy these donkey riders old school buses so they can take all their kin and friends with them when they wreck. This stuff is past ridiculous.
Who does John McCain support for AG, SoS and Governor in 2014?
The headline makes it sound like the illegal alien performed a public service getting a drunk of the roads.
Unless he's the walking dead.
Illegal aliens are so cute, aren’t they?
Prayers for this cop’s family.
“I want all illegals to move onto Jeb Bushs land. Immediately....”

Yes, that would be an “act of love” and should be well received by Jebbie and his family.
u do see in the article he was killed as well?
There is a culture of drunk driving among Hispanic males - both legal and illegal.
and very young girls
He'll be back out in no time. It was racist for us to not have signs in Spanish located every mile on the freeway (in the wrong direction) telling him he was going the wrong way.
“...Lets see Jebby Bush put up or shut up.”

Yes, he needs to learn that the NEW Mexican sense of hospitality (as it relates to America and Americans) is “Su casa es mi casa”.
It was an Act of Love.
He’s dead, Jim!
Actually what I would like to see would be for a person to sue the Federal government for refusing to do its job
I might have cared, except for things like this going on.
When cops will cover one of their own just as guilty, it is only poetic justice when a drunk gets a cop.
