BURTONSVILLE, Md. -- The man arrested and charged in the hit-and-run accident that killed two members of a road crew has told authorities he is in the U.S. illegally.
Manuel De Jesus Gonzalez-Geronimo, 31, is a Guatemalan living in Hyattsville. He surrendered to police early Tuesday morning to face charges in the Monday accident on Route 29 in Burtonsville.
The construction workers were taking a break and sitting on a guardrail when they were hit by a van that also hit a construction truck.
The van driver ran from the scene.
Martin Ruffin, of Baltimore, and James Cronin, of Glen Burnie, died, and three co-workers were injured.
Police spokeswoman Lucille Baur said Gonzalez-Geronimo revealed during his bail hearing that he is an undocumented worker. He is being held without bond.
OH well! I’m sure his liability insurance will cover everything!!!!
This is getting to be a really bad trend...illegals getting bombed on whatever they’re drinking or smoking and taking out U.S. Citizens in traffic smashups.
I read a recent post on this forum that provided stats indicating that more Americans are killed by illegal immigrants than are killed in the war in Iraq.
Right. WTF is that?
Hi, I’m here to get a job. - I have no documents, but thats okay. Just hire me, okay?
Sure, I get jobs like that all of the time.
BS liberal rag alert.
Too bad he didn’t take out members of the open borders crowd.
That’s OK.
The quack Gov “O’Mallard” is all for making the “Lnd of Pleasant Living a sanctuary State.
For those who are thinking of moving to Maryland, quothe Dante’s thoughts on Hell: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” (Canto IV)
and the authorities probably said, "that's irrelevant."
I think they are catching on to what's happening here.
Tell the cops your an illegal alien and you get special treatment...probably deported for your crime, but what the heck....lay low for a while and then sneak back in again and repeat the process.
I would think some of the perps have had enough practice at sneaking it, it's only an inconvenience having to sneak back in.
Years and years of driving experience, driving a donkey cart that is, will help you kill someone in this country.
Montgomery County, Maryland - Sanctuary Jurisdiction!
This collateral damage has been going on for years - but the liberal media and open borders politicians can’t keep it all hidden and it’s starting to leak out. We are nothing to them.
Never thought to co-opt Kanye West,
but here, how’s this one?:
“George Bush doesn’t care about law, or the American people”
No, this is a really good trend. The MSM is finally reporting on all these incidents instead of completely covering them up.
And the hits keep on coming, thanks to GWB and friends. And the judges, watch to see if these ILLEGALS walk.
Stats, please.
Wish I had saved the post. I'm gonna' poke around and try to relocate it. Seems like it was less than a month ago.
Thank you.
