Great for Michelle Bachmann! Is she the only one we have left who will represent us?
And represent us she is. Contrary to what the liberals and media in this state would have us believe, people are overwhelmingly against the whole illegal situation here.
I was reading the Pioneer Press the other day about the accident, and comments were running about 8:1 against illegal leniency.
UPDATE
Only a month ago.............
“The woman charged with causing the fatal school bus crash in southwestern Minnesota was pulled over by police a month before the accident on the same highway, and in what appears to have been the same minivan.
Her boyfriend, who was driving the van at the time, was ticketed for driving without a license.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned that in 2006, Olga Marina Franco was stopped by police in Motevideo for driving without a license. She was able to lie to an officer and used a false identity and ID card.
Days before the fatal Cottonwood crash, Franco was given a ride home in a squad car, again using her alias of Alianiss N. Morales, to prevent a deputy from knowing she was in the country illegally, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has confirmed.
According to a sheriff’s department report, on Jan. 16, Franco was riding in the minivan on a stretch of Highway 23, about 40 miles from the spot of last week’s fatal crash that killed four students from Lakeview Public School. It is the same van that Franco was driving at the time of the crash.
A Kandiyohi County deputy pulled over the Plymouth Voyager after noting the license plate wasn’t easily visible.
The driver, Samuel Rivera Melendez, had a learner’s permit but not a license. His girlfriend, Franco, told the officer she had no state ID card or driver’s license and claimed to be Aliannis Morales.
Melendez was ordered to pay $187 in fines.
The couple told the deputy there were returning home to Willmar from Cottonwood, where they worked. It was about 2:30 a.m.
The woman has since been identified as a 24-year-old from Guatemala who was living in the town of Minneota. She has been charged with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide, as well as running a stop sign and driving without a license.”
