Hit and run investigation hits twist
Search for driver in postal carrier’s death nets immigration holds

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC-TV) — The search for a man wanted in a fatal hit-and-run accident that killed a Corsicana postal worker in June has landed 29 alleged illegal workers in hot water this week with U.S. Border Patrol agents in Lake Charles, La.
The suspect being sought was 25-year-old Daniel Gonzalez Rodriguez. U.S. Postal inspectors say on June 22, 2008 Gonzalez Rodriguez ran a red light in Corsicana, hitting mail carrier Donnie Evett’s truck and then fled the scene. Evett died, and Gonzalez Rodriguez has been on the run for the past six months.
Postal authorities offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of Gonzalez Rodriguez following the accident, distributing flyers throughout Navarro County in an effort to locate the man suspected of driving the truck that struck Evett’s mail delivery van.
Federal agents had reason to believe he was working a construction job in Lake Charles, but when officials arrived at the scene, this story took a surprising twist.
The search for a Gonzalez Rodriguez brought state police to a Lake Charles construction site Wednesday. Sgt. Stephen Lafargue with Louisiana State Police Troop D says, “We were contacted by the Texas Rangers in reference to a felony hit and run that had taken place where a U.S. Postal worker was killed and they thought that they had a suspect in this area that was working construction.”
When state police began questioning the workers about the whereabouts of Gonzalez Rodriguez, authorities discovered that 29 of the men had no documentation.
“The Border Patrol was called in,” Lafargue said, “they took the 29 in custody, they will be processed and then agents will go about identifying them through fingerprints or any type of identification.”
Corsicana police confirm that none of the men in custody are in act Gonzalez Rodriguez. The alleged illegals were turned over to the custody at the U.S. Border Patrol office in Lake Charles.
Resthaven Administrator Sereitha McGee, where the construction work was taking place, says she had no idea that 29 alleged illegals were working on this construction site.
“We don’t actually do the hiring,” says McGee, “the contractor hires the sub-contractor. Even the contractor is a good company ... from what I was told by the state troopers is that they’re not really sure that they’re illegal, but they did take them down to have them all checked out.”
Louisiana State Police will continue to work with the Texas Rangers and U.S. Border Patrol in this investigation.
As to Daniel Gonzalez Rodriguez, the SOB is still at large and every time I go in the Corsicana Post Office, I see the wanted poster for him and know if he is ever caught, I believe Obama will some how let him go!
This should be a real national holiday. Political correctness is often comical, but here it has deadly consequences.
...and save a pretzel for the gas jets!
Cheers!
There is no free tuition. If there were more then just illegals would be flooding Texas.
Y'all figured out right quick what I was talkin' about though, didn't'cha?
Cheers!
Yes I figured you were misinformed. You can thank me later.
Sure enough, you knew what I was talking about, even with the exaggeration.
Cheers!

You can never trust folks with grey whiskers they are always up to no good. :^(
Ya think ya got room for more?
Dallas Texas, 2006.
500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas, making demands and threats while waving foreign flags in our faces.
All this under governor Perry, while a Republican president also from Texas, celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House.
Why the INS didn’t swoop down there with a bunch of nets and wagons is beyond me.
What's up with that?
Somehow I missed this on the local news.
What does that have to do with my statement that there is no free tuition?
That’s funny.
Like other venues, they wouldn’t touch this with the proverbial 10 foot pole.
“”What does that have to do with my statement that there is no free tuition?””

Study: 70% of Texas’ illegal immigrant families receive welfare
Thirteen years after Congress overhauled the American welfare system, 57 percent of immigrants with children — those in the country legally or not — use at least one government, welfare program according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies.
In comparison, 39 percent of native-born Americans with children are signed up for welfare, the report found.
In Texas, 54 percent of legal immigrants and 70 percent of illegal immigrants receive welfare assistance, with illegal immigrants generally receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, according to the study, written by a think tank that favors reducing immigration into the U.S.
Overall, Texas tied with California and New York for the second highest immigrant welfare rates behind Arizona.

The mods have always been embarrassed by this issue. Don’t know why.
More American citizens have been killed by illeagls than the number of Americans killed in all the wars since WWll.
