Driving without a license, no insurance, very common for illegals to drink and drive & flee.Any time someone with no legal right to drive does put us all in danger.Otherwise we would not need licenses.Just you be hit by an illegal and see how much help you get.
The illegal immigrant accused of killing a Benedictine nun in a drunken driving crash in Prince William County has been indicted for murder.
Carlos A. Martinelly Montano, 23, now faces a charge of felony murder, court records show, for the Aug. 1 crash that killed Sister Denise Mosier, 66.
Authorities allege that Montano was drunk when a Subaru Outback he was driving struck a guardrail then collided head-on with a car carrying Mosier and two other nuns on Bristow Road near Wright Lane.
Montano was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter, drunken driving, and driving on a revoked license.
Sisters Charlotte Lange, 75, and Connie Ruth Lupton, 70, were seriously injured in the crash.
The grand jury also indicted Montano with driving with a revoked license and maiming resulting from drunken driving.
He could receive up to 40 years in prison.
“These are very serious charges,” said Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert.
Ebert said the “nexus between felonious acts and the death” of Mosier supported the murder charge against Montano.
Ebert said the original charges would likely be dropped in favor of prosecuting the more serious allegations.
“The Benedictine Sisters acknowledge that Carlos Martinelly Montano must be served due justice for his actions,” Sister Cecilia Dwyer said. “We trust that the courts will be moderate and just in the handling of his case.”
The accusations against Montano, who was smuggled into the United States from Bolivia as a child, have sparked outcry over illegal immigration.
When he was charged in the Aug. 1 crash, Montano had two previous DUI convictions. He had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but was released pending a deportation hearing.
This week, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell told the state Department of Motor Vehicles to stop accepting a federally issued work authorization card as proof of legal status.
Montano had received the employment authorization card in January 2009, months after deportation proceedings had begun for his second DUI offense. Authorities say he used the card to show his legal status when applying for a Virginia ID.
Corey Stewart, chairman of the county board of supervisors, has asked Congress to subpoena federal immigration records to find out how many illegal immigrants were released after arrest.

She's been here 17 years and hasn't bothered to learn English yet?
After coming to Georgia from an ox-and-plow farming village in Mexico, Ms. Valencia had a 12-year career at a fast-food restaurant in a suburban mall, rising from hamburger flipper to cashier to assistant manager. Among her most carefully preserved possessions are two diplomas for the company’s management training courses.
How could someone be here seventeen years, go through a management training course, and still need an interpreter? Also, as someone who once worked in fast food, there's no way I believe she was not taking at least one of those jobs from an American. This is another example of "They're just taking jobs Americans won't do." is a lie.
I'm sure she has family in Mexico or wherever she came from.
I've lost count of how many articles I've read over the past 10 years where an illegal is involved in a traffic accident and then jumps our and runs away.
The NY Times once again whining about other states.
Just killing US citizens. How dare anyone accuse her!
Actually, they are. Every day in my town/county an illegal Mexican hurts or kills a person. They have an astronomical rate of hit and runs. In my experience they are a bigger risk than drunks. With their ignorant, 3rd world mentality, they oftentimes have no concept of the rules of the road or the desire to learn. That, coupled with their aggression and arrogance, is not a winning combo.
If their only vehicular crime was tossing dirty diapers out their window (which they do with regularity here) I could tolerate them. As it stands now, I will not ever tolerate them. They are a menace and a threat to public safety.
