More than 150 mourners gathered Saturday to remember the mother and her 11-year-old daughter tragically killed in a head-on crash with an allegedly drunk illegal immigrant driver.

Sobbing and weeping relatives and friends — many of them, donning shirts with images of Maria Pleitez and little Dayanara Cortes’ beaming faces — lined up outside the Lakewood Funeral Home in Howell to pay their respects at a somber wake.

---snip--- The Mexican immigrant, who was in the US illegally, had been arrested twice this spring for DUI in Red Bank, NJ — something Pleitez’s niece bemoaned at the wake.

Maria del Carmen Pleitez told The Post her aunt was a hardworking, cat-loving, doting US citizen who immigrated from El Salvador 24 years ago.

...with no sugar-coating.

Except that it's an illegal alien invader, not an illegal "migrant".

Tie him to a bumper and drag him from New Jersey to Texas. Throw what’s left him across the Rio Grande with a sign in Spanish that says this is what we do to illegal alien invaders who hurt Americans.

"Sanctuary" laws, city or state, are ILLEGAL in direct violation of FEDERAL LAWS so WHY HAVEN'T THEY BEEN RULED AS SUCH BY THE SCOTUS?

Arrest all city and state officials who execute these ILLEGAL laws, especially the criminal governor as ACCESSORIES TO MURDER.

Sanctuary laws are DE FACTO SUCCESSION FROM THE UNION, THEREFORE ALL FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THESE STATES SHOULD BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY.

Seems illegals are taking out 130,000 Americans per year thanks to Biden and the Dems.

Chatgpt says you will never know the true numbers because they refuse to collect and collate that data.

I was just happy enough that the Post used the word “illegal”. Too often “undocumented” is used instead.

By the way, I just read an article about this crime on lefty MSN’s site. Even MSN used the word “illegal”. Maybe the tide really is turning.

Another “hard drinking” subhuman, illegal alien RAT voter kills an American mother and her 11 year old daughter. And the bass turds up on “Capitol Hill” couldn’t care less. All they dream about is hooking up with a same sex MS-13 stud for conjugal visits at the deportation centers.

"The Mexican immigrant, who was in the US illegally, had been arrested twice this spring for DUI"

He should have been deported automatically after the first DUI. Then, this mother and child would still be alive.

But I don't think his immigration status is the reason he was released from prison. He was released because he was treated like a U.S. citizen. I knew a few people who were charged with DUI. When they were arrested, their licenses were not suspended right away. It took months for police to file charges. So, their licenses weren't suspended until a year after their arrest. Makes no sense, but there must be a backlog.
