Six Killed in Van Crash; 33 Illegal Immigrants Were on Board

Fox News Online ^ | June 25

[sarcasm]

I'm so glad to see that the Bush plan to secure the borders is working so well.

[spokeshave]

On news this evening...CNN or CNBC I don't recall....talked about six immigrants...omitting the fact that they were ILLEGALS...typical leftie news bias....

This was on a Fox trailer earlier and I had to search for it! Seems everyone is ignoring this story.

This driver really needed a government installed REST SPOT so this accident wouldn't have happened! The survivors should sue our government for big bucks. (Water fountains and rest stops!!!!)

The coverup of this story by the media is no surprise.

Wait til the Mexican trucks start lumbering around the U.S. with their 140,000 lb loads and 18yr old drivers who grew up on the 'Anything Goes' Mexican highways.

Excuse me Pres Bush, but Karl Rove is a FOOL if he's telling you this homogenization with Mexico will work ... and you sir, are a fool if you believe him.

[sarcasm]

I think that Tancredo is right about the political situation at the White House - the one pushing this disastrous policy is Bush and not Rove.

My soon-to-be-granddaughter-in-law was hit head on by a van load of illegals up here in Washington state two weeks ago. They came roaring down a mountain road at 100 MPH and lost it on a curve. The only reason she survived was because she was driving a big old ancient boat of a car. The final tally: Two dead illegals, and she lost part of a hand and has her face chopped to mincemeat. One of the illegals ran up probably a $100,000 medical bill before he died.

That poor child. Just makes me want to cry.

33 illegal immigrants in one van??

That explains why they ride so low!

[Marine Inspector]

There just doing jobs Americans don't what. So what if they hurt a few Americans and cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

< /sarcasm >

I am very sorry to hear about your soon-to-be-granddaughter-in-law. My prayers are with her.

[brat]

I'm so sorry holyscroller! Prayer bump for her!

[brat]

HEHEHE

[FreeAtlanta]

I am sorry for her and for your family. I hope she will recover well.

As for the illegals? I can't say anthing at this moment, because I am so angry. Bush, congress, please do your duty in protecting us, and close the borders!

"A van carrying 27 illegal immigrants smashed head-on into two other vehicles as it went the wrong way on an interstate with its headlights off, apparently in an attempt by the driver to avoid an immigration checkpoint."

How many illegal immigrants were in the van, 27 or 33?

The answer is obvious. Those immigration checkpoints have to go. Look at the needless loss of life and serious injuries that they cause.

>sarcasm<

"Thirty-one people, most suffering minor injuries, were taken to hospitals."

To whom do we send the bill?

I think that Tancredo is right about the political situation at the White House - the one pushing this disastrous policy is Bush and not Rove

IMHO in order to please the Mrs.

[sheik yerbouty]

Caliban authorities will now make vans illegal.

[CIBvet]

Really sorry to hear about your family tragedy. Sure glad she was in one of those old hunks of American steel.

Where did this happen in Washington State? I spent alot of time down there in the '80's.

We sure have load of Illegals up here in AK. Summer seasonal work in fishing (and general labor) is simply not available for college students and/or white males anymore.

The new thing for Illegals here in Anc is that they quickly sign up for student loans & Pell Grants at UAA (staffed entirely by Liberal Bureaucrats) and get a college education at taxpayer expense.

I used to live next door to this guy from Chile who came up in '92 on a student visa, and got his degree in '98. He married another foreign student from Japan and they immediately had their 'Anchor Baby'. He then took one of those jobs that Americans either don't want, or are too lazy to work ... as a Flight Instructor out at Merrill Field.

[CIBvet]

That would make Bush completely responsible and the complete Fool.

IMO 'Globalist' Rove is still a fool.
