Amy Milligan 15, was flown to Carolinas Medical Center and placed in the pediatric ICU department in a coma.
Her mother, Fran Milligan, was driving the car that was hit.
"How many years will it be that we'll be affected? What will the rest of her life be like? It will be nothing like what she imagined," she said.
Police said 21-year-old Marin Gomez was driving drunk when the accident happened in Richmond County. They also think he's in the country illegally and immigration agents are investigating.
"Right now, everything is running all together for me," said Fran Milligan.
Amy was trapped in the car for 40 minutes. She's suffered multiple injuries including two collapsed lungs, and broken ribs, and has been through two strokes.
"We're not going to have the same Amy," said Fran Milligan.
Amy's aunt, Lorri Oxenbine, can't believe one man's actions have changed so many lives.
"Anger that he's ruined Amy's life, her future, ruined my sister's life and her future, completely changed it. And that he's also ruined his own," she said.
Police said Gomez ran from the scene, but was later caught.
Authorities have charged him with felony hit-and-run, two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, driving while impaired, no license, having a fake tag, and careless and reckless driving.
Congresswoman Sue Myrick is holding a town hall meeting Tuesday night as part of her effort to toughen laws against illegal immigrants.
Myrick is proposing new legislation called the Scott Gardner Act. Gardner was a Mount Holly schoolteacher killed when an illegal immigrant hit the car carrying him and his family.
The immigrant had five prior DWI convictions.
Myrick said he should have been deported.
The meeting is at 7 p.m. inside Myrick's office on West Main Street in Gastonia.
And that is the bottom line.
If the federal hole in the boat would have been fixed in the beginning, we wouldn't be sinking.
Deport him. From a B-52 at 15,000 feet. Over the Presidential Hacienda in Mexico City.
"But he's filling a job no one else will take."
But he's ruining lives no one else will ruin.
bttt
Shouldn't Bayourod be here to tell us how the girl deserved it and the "immigrant" is completely blameless?
And when he's done with that, he can come to my house and explain why I have dishpan hands!
Prayers for Amy from TX.
"I believe vigilantes may start doing some of their own deporting"
Unfortunately, when our government REFUSES to protect us, well somebaody has to. If the two major political parties in this country don't have the BALLS to do it....
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!
And he's raising insurance rates no one else wil raise.
And when he's done doing that, he can come out to where I live and do the same for the widow of a friend who was killed in the same way.
>>And when he's done with that, he can come to my house and explain why I have dishpan hands!
Excuse me? Your dispan hands?
You think this story is humorous?
You just implied that the President of the United States is powerless, and or is completely isolated from this ever growing problem.
Could you explain that comment?
I wrote "dishpan."
Boracho.... that means drunk in Spanish. I hope this rotten bastard gets nailed but nailed extra good if he's an illegal alien intruder. He's just ruined one life and a family is racked with pain
I agree with your comments. I will add this.
Here is a person already driving without a driver's license. The judge couldn't suspend his license, because he didn't have one. That is generally one of the first things that happens to DUI violators.
One other problem is this. An illegal can simply purchase a new identification. Then he can represent himself as a second, third, fourth... individual. All he has to do is change his name, get new fake documents and move on.
WHENEVER an illegal immigrant is discovered, they should be deported immediately.
So your explanation to your comment, is to point out a typo?
You're not the boss of me :-)
Well, I can't say I blame you for running as fast as you can away from your own comment.
How is that any different than if she had been killed by a white American drunk driver (of which there are plenty of, and plenty of similar resulting deaths?)
While the borders need to be sealed, you're trashy theatrics are no different than what Cindy Sheehan is doing, exploiting death for a political soundbite.
