Summary: alcoholic illegal alien who self-extended his temporary visa and who had planned on moving in with his former girlfriend's mother ends the life of a popular attorney and two good kids, leaving at least three American families decimated.

Your summary leaves out an important point; that the story makes everyone sound like an equal victim in the “accident”. And note the “struggling with alcoholism”. Yeah, right. I don’t think trouble opening your next bottle while your already drunk qualifies as “struggling with alcoholism”. The “journalist” who wrote this piece should be keel-hauled.

I thought the same thing. The author must have started to feel a bit of liberal guilt as he was finishing the piece and so added the paragraph at the end.

A sad story, but for relevance, the state's name should appear in the summary. There are nine states with a "Winfield", but only one "Merrillville". (Indiana)

Very sad. Prayers for the families.

I know Merrillville from my Purdue days. It was a landmark point between school and Chicago during weekend roadtrips. There used to be a good Mexican restaurant right off the highway if I recall that served some great Margaritas. We used to stay in the Knights Inn nearby now and then. They were pretty happy when we left...

I had the same thoughts as you guys...

...but for better or worse, this also popped in to my poor old addled mind:

Mother, Jugs & Speed

How about this one:

Mario Cadena sped west, past a stop sign and into Hough’s Ford Explorer, driving the truck into Weiss’ Mustang. No one emerged alive from the twisted wreckage.

Well we all drive *past* stop signs. Could it be that THROUGH is the correct word choice here? Geez.

I read this crap all the time, yet......every stinking one of these doofus candidates for POTUS pretend this isn’t even an issue yet......they get away with ignoring US citizens in favor of Mexicans.

They are going to keep getting away with it because We The People have let them.

Anyone ever notice how the illegal lawbreakers keep protesting and get heard, but We The People do not demand to be heard on this issue?

Oh, and John McCain is as bad, or worse than, the two idiotic worthless Democrats.

“....Mexican immigrant who had long struggled with a drinking problem ...”

Are there any other kind???

The “homicide car crasher” gets equal billing with the innocent victims. Sickening journalist piece of scum.

And where is the outrage? Illegals killing more and more US Citizens. Through rape and murder, through drunk driving, through various other means...

We need to hold our public officials responsible for their duty to protect the US from this illegal invasion.

I say every one of these criminal illegals needs to be loaded into a C-130. Deport them by flying at about 500 feet above their respective home country’s capitol and shove them out of the plane. Parachute is optional.

“I know people are going to say he was illegal and he was drunk,” Rodriguez said.

But only because he was illegal and he was drunk.

“I know people are going to say he was illegal and he was drunk,... and he had things he wanted to do.”

To bad returning home wasn't one of them

Oh, please-—another suckup media sob story? When will they report these illegals despise America and Americans. They invade our country, not to live the American dream, but to give Americans a nightmare.

The escalating number of Americans killed by illegals in autos makes one suspect these invaders are being tasked as kamikaze drivers by their handlers.

Are they on the hunt for Americans to kill? As one FReeper posted-— “puttng one over on Americanos” is considered a great feat of latino machismo.

Must be a laugh riot in Mehico over tequilas about how the Mehicans duped Bush.

Yet another Friend of Bush just doing the DUI that Americans won't do.

Also proof of why the "we must document them so we know who they are" people are deluding themselves:

His work visa had long ago expired...

"We" knew who this turd was and "we" did nothing about it.
