ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOX) -Charges are pending against an illegal alien driver who police say struck and killed a pedestrian on the Poplar Street Bridge early Sunday morning.

The victim, 26 year old Daunte Simmons of St. Louis died later at a hospital and  27-year-old Elvira Secic of St. Louis was critically injured.

Police report Brandon Oggun Garcia from Florissant struck a St. Louis Police patrol car downtown about 3:30 a.m. and fled onto the bridge.

So he’s here illegally? That means nothing to the 2/3 of elected Republican agriculture commissioners who endorsed Rick Perry. Dead Americans are merely a collateral cost involved in giving the agricultural fat cats the “tools and freedom” to make a financial killing while their taxpayer-subsidized cheap labor occasionally make an actual killing on the highways.

We have to give Governor Perry credit for pioneering new uses of the race card. Can’t let the Democrats have all the fun.

The last hard statistics I saw few years back stated at least 12 American citizens are killed in one way another by illegal aliens every day.

think about that:

10 days-120, 30 days-360, 365 days-4,380, Ten years-43,800 This does not address the rapes, child pedophiles, assaults, robberies, burglaries, drunk and uninsured vehicle accidents, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

All we hear and see from liberals and the LSM is how the illegals are contributing naught but good things to America.

And the gutless GOP establishment leaders dast not speak the truth.

"Fled" always seems to appear in stories of this kind. You never read, "After hitting the couple, Garcia, an illegal immigrant, ran to the aid of his victims. Though he was found to be intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of twice the legal limit, he still managed to save one of the two people in the car." But really, is it any surprise. Illegal immigrants have no respect for us. They have been taught by our government leaders not to. We are only here to pay the bills.
