Father-of-5, advocated for immigrant rights,killed by illegal immigrant awaiting deportation
Daily Mail ^

Full Title:"Father-of-five who advocated rights for immigrants is hit and killed by a Salvadoran man in the US illegally who was ordered to be deported eight months ago"

A staunch supporter of the rights of immigrants - and a married father of five - was killed last week when an illegal immigrant from El Salvador facing deportation crashed into his motorcycle in Colorado.

Sean Buchanan, 45, was driving northbound on Highway 83 on August 2 when Colorado State Patrol say a southbound truck operated by Miguel Ramirez Valiente went off the side of the road, then over-corrected into the wrong lane and crashed into Buchanan's bike, killing him.

Valiente, an undocumented immigrant who was slated for deportation eight months earlier, was charged with misdemeanor careless driving with a revoked license in the deadly accident.

In an ironic twist, Buchanan was known among friends a passionate advocate for all immigrants.

Valiente has a criminal record in Colorado that includes a 2018 conviction for a DUI charge, which earned him a year's probation and the revocation of his license, and a guilty plea to a charge of reckless endangerment in a child neglect case.

On August 1, less than 24 hours before the deadly crash that killed Buchanan, Valiente's probation was extended because he had failed to complete his court-ordered treatment program and community service.

He made national headlines in January when he sought sanctuary at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in January to avoid deportation to El Salvador during the federal government shutdown.

'I can’t be separated from them,' he said at a press conference at the time, according to The Denver Channel. 'I have always worked hard to support my family, and they depend on me.'

"Advocating" adopting black kids is virtue-signaling.

ADOPTING any kids --- exp. hard-to-place kids --- is virtue. An act of parental goodness.

It is stepping out generously, and paying up personally.

Virtue-signaling is all talk and no walk. You can tell from this man's story that he took on the burdens himself: that is "REALS, NOT FEELS."

Catholic Charities is anything but. They receive taxpayer money for the evil they do, so we’re paying for our own destruction via illegal immigration.

Now, if only a child or grandchild of Pelosi, or other similar enabling democrat was likewise dispatched, this stupidity might stop.

Those who advocate strongly against civilization, who promote chaos, are as dangerous as any spree killer.

When people ask why a loving God lets bad things happen to "good people," I assert they just aren't reading deep enough.

Puleez - not all Catholics. The Pope, perhaps, and some of the Bishops. There are plenty of us who are not allowing the Church to force-feed us that Social Justice tripe.
