Makes you kind of wish the Punisher was a real guy.
At least for me anyways.

Here’s my standard post.

RICO —Citizen Recourse

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.

Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.

RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.

In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens like this jerk.

Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.

I wonder if lawsuits against the federal government would help. The Fed is not doing enough to secure the border and their negligence contributed to these deaths.

I saw Tancredo on FNC this morning, explaining that the cities etc who instruct their LE to NOT discover the legal/illegal status are liable in cases like this. It has been discussed with a bunch of lawyers, and the general consensus is that civil suits against the offending municipalities can be won. Large judgements such as those won by those who claim profilng, police brutality, etc will quickly change the attitudes of officials and citizens of such municipalities.

This case might well become the first in this regard.

“I wonder where is Geraldo on this one ??”

He would probably accuse anyone against illegal immigration of trying to turn Juan Felix Salinas into the next Willie Horton.

Due to illegal aliens, Texas is #1 in DUI arrests and DUI related deaths.

No breakdown on race or nationality of the accused of course.

I imagine he’s supporting the poor ILLEGAL. Too bad it hasn’t happened to one of his family members—he might feel differently.

Aug. 11 crash in Houston that killed the newlyweds and the little boy nicknamed “Peanut Butter.” She does know that her daughter didn’t die on impact. The young woman, according to reports, felt the flames and begged helpless bystanders to pull her free.

I would not want to be in any of our so-called leaders shoes, as I would imagine there are more than a few thousand out there that would like to hold them *directly* responsible for this violent invasion.

We might as well accept that this isn't going to stop, and that more and more of us will die or be maimed.
The smug elites ride around in limos and private jets - so what do they care?
Not enough ordinary Americans are crying out about this slaughter.

I'm not big on the idea of "grief counselers"...but I suspect a few
of those bystanders probably could use some of "the talking cure"
after experiencing that.

Some smart lawyer the deceased's mother to sue for wrongful death
and pain-and-suffering...just to be sure the perp will be broke all
the rest of him miserable life.
And the bystanders should hit him (and whoever didn't keep him
locked up due to his immigration status) with a class-action
mental-suffering suit.

He’s extremely defensive about the issue and he’s fervently pro-illegal aliens. Isn’t that special?

Geraldo has been asked this many times and always replies that the immigration status is of no relevance because Americans do the same thing. In other words he refuses to answer. It is beyond my comprehension why anyone would allow Geraldo to appear on their show.

Juan Felix Salinas

Wreck suspect here illegally, officials say (killed family of three)

By MIKE GLENN Houston Chronicle - August 2007

A man accused of causing a fiery wreck that killed a family of three on the East Freeway is in the country illegally, authorities said. Juan Felix Salinas, 42, voluntarily returned to his home in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, two years ago, officials said. But he returned to the U.S., eventually making his way back to the Houston area.

Salinas remained in police custody Monday, charged with three counts of intoxication manslaughter in the deaths of Tenisha Williams, 26; her husband, S.J. Williams; and her son, Xavier Brown, 2. His bail has been set at $90,000 — $30,000 for each death.

Houston police said Salinas was speeding and rapidly changing lanes about 8:30 p.m. Saturday when he rear-ended a Toyota Corolla in the 8700 block of Interstate 10. The Toyota caught fire and eventually was engulfed in flames. The family was pronounced dead at the scene. Salinas, who suffered minor injuries in the wreck, had a blood-alcohol level of .24 — three times the .08 legal limit for intoxication in Texas.

When the van slammed into the Toyota, Salinas had been free on bond from a March 31 family violence incident in Jacinto City. The case remains open, authorities said.

On Saturday, bystanders struggled to save the young family. Some used hand- held fire extinguishers to hold back the flames while others attempted to pry open the doors. Felinda Williams said she was grateful to everyone who tried to save her daughter, grandson and son-in-law. "At least somebody cared enough," a grieving Williams said Monday. "They put themselves in danger trying to help them." Williams said she will closely follow the case against Salinas as it progresses. "When he's in court, I'm going to be in court," she said. "He tore a whole family apart."
