In the sanctuary state of Illinois, where Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has attempted to impede federal immigration enforcement, an illegal alien is accused of killing a Republican elected official and his wife in Coles County.

Police say that 34-year-old illegal alien Edwin Pacheco-Meza of Honduras was driving a van on Oct. 24 when he crossed the center lane and struck 71-year-old Michael Clayton and his wife, 66-year-old Gail Clayton — killing them instantly.

Michael Clayton was a Republican elected official who served on the Coles County Board.

“Mike and Gail were a team in every sense. Together, they lived their lives with strong values, unwavering love for family, and a deep dedication to their hometown,” the couple’s obituary reads:

They believed in supporting the Charleston community and keeping their business local whenever possible. Whether it was groceries, gifts, or meals, they always chose local shops and markets, proudly supporting small businesses and encouraging others to do the same. They were familiar faces at the Charleston Farmer’s Market, always taking time to visit with neighbors and friends. [Emphasis added]

Even more Americans killed by illegals.

Thanks a lot, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (DEMOCRAT)

Prayers 🙏🙏🙏 for the victims’ families

A little farther north in Urbana, an illegal alien from Guatemala was just sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing 2 college students and injuring 3 others earlier this year. He fled and was captured on a bus near Dallas a few days later heading to Mexico.

Hang this burning tire around pricksters neck

[mythenjoseph]

Well he is only “accused” lets not jump to any obvious conclusions? Just because he was driving the vehicle that crossed the lane markers and killed two more Americans. s/

[Tacrolimus1mg]

You’d need a pretty big tire...

Every one of these stories about illegal alien drivers in Illinois needs to lead with, "The state where George Ryan went to jail because an illegal killed 6 kids in a mini-van"

Meanwhile Pritzker and Newsome continue to hand out vehicular hunting licenses to any illegal that wants one. And, these guys are in charge of handing out "Real ID" credentials.

Eventually the history books will treat this dem handout the same as popes and cardinals selling plenary indulgences.

I’ll bet this incident was a cartel hit.

[SmokingJoe]

How so?

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

We need to have a crack down and stop everyone and check their drivers license. Yes, it might be inconvenient however we need to know if they are qualified to drive. No, licenses from Illinois, California or the Northeast should be allowed in red states ..

Did the Prixster provide “Paco” with a driver’s license? The blood of these two Republican Americans is on the hands of that bass turd Joe Pedo who imported this murdering illegal alien SCUMBAG.

According to this article, he didn’t have a valid drivers license. It doesn’t say who owned the car he was driving.

Sounds like one of the Chicongo Prixster’s boyz. Illegally in the U.S., no driver’s license, illegally operating a motor vehicle on public roads. The boy should have been in prison. In the same cell with his boy, the Chicongo Prixster.

Boss Hogg governor shares blame

[EVO X]

In Illinois the issuance of DLs is controlled by the Secretary of State which is an elected position. SOS can tell the Gov to go pound sand if he/she thinks they will get fed eyeballs looking at their operations.

True. However the SOS of Hellinois (Giannoulias) has been groomed in the ways and means of corruption for decades. I have zero expectations of good governance from Giannoulias or the office he holds.

[null and void]

That’s a feature, not a bug.

[EVO X]

Granted, but if he aspires for higher office he needs to be sneaky clean...
