Every crime committed by an illegal alien is a preventable crime. Secure the borders now!

Officials said if Gonzalez had not fled the scene, he would have been given only a ticket in the accident.

What the ...? He kills an officer - but if he'd stayed at the scene, he would only have gotten a ticket??!

Officials said if Gonzalez had not fled the scene, he would have been given only a ticket in the accident. Instead, he is now facing more serious charges.

Are they inferring that the accident was not his fault? He would not have been charged with vehicular manslaughter? An illegal alien illegally driving a vehicle would have been given a ticket and not at the very least deported with the rest of his family. Wow, this country is going to hell in a handbasket.

[detsaoT]

Fears for his family's future??? WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM HE KILLED???

The press is complicit in MURDER, if they insist on adopting this attitude!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What about the police officer's family? I don't give a feces about the illegal's family.

"I am the only one who provides for my family, so I don't know what's going to happen with them," he said."

Could care less about Phoenix Braithwaite, who he killed, and the officer's family.

[roadcat]

Hang him. Then deport him. We don't want his kind coming back. He ruined that officer's family.

[verum ago]

my thoughts exactly:
nobody seems to care that somebody DIED!

[RBMN]

"Murder" still requires intent. And illegal status, or forgery by itself would not constitute causing death during the commission of another crime. If he hit someone while fleeing police, that would be a different story. But if he stayed at the scene, there would be little the law could do to him besides deport him.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Instead, he is now facing more serious charges.

Yeah, rumor has it they think they might even have to deport him.

Oh, and WESH, sharpen your reporting skills, such as they are. Huge gaps of relevant information here.

And the correct term is illegal alien

[phoenix0468]

I didn't say anything about murder. I said manslaughter, a different charge than murder.

[RBMN]

Was he driving recklessly? If not, same answer.

"I feel depressed because I am poor,"

Me too, I expect y'all to cut me some slack around here, nothing is my fault!

[Founding Father]

Ping

[PattonFan]

Me?

I'm tired of illegals

I'm tired of my government allowing illegals

I'm tired of a lot of things

My time will come

[hodaka]

All I can say about this illegal immigrant is waaaa, waaaa, waaaa. You do the crime, you do the time. Bush needs to quit with the BS excuse that they are doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do and crack down on the open borders.

"I feel depressed because I am poor," Gonzalez said through a translator"


Depressed because he's poor???? Shouldn't he actually feel suicidal after causing the death of another person?

[DB]

All I see is it is all about him. Not what happened and that someone is dead as a result.

[Drew68]

"I feel depressed because I am poor," Gonzalez said through a translator.

Haven't bothered to learn English yet?

"I am the only one who provides for my family, so I don't know what's going to happen with them," he said.

Don't worry Miguel. I'm sure us taxpayers will take care of them.
