You either misinterpreted my remarks or were replying to someone else.
The point is this is a crime story. The AP twisted it into a personification of why illegal aliens should get driver's licenses.
If you got a flyer from Gil Cedillo, he'd probably make the same points as the AP story. He'd present a sob story: "If only she'd had a license, she'd still be alive! In order to prevent any other cases like this, we need to pass out driver's licenses at the state line!"
The AP story isn't that bad, but if you read between the lines you'll see that they're advocating DLs for IAs.
Just to make this clear, let's imagine how the NRA would spin the underlying story:
"Unarmed mother, daughter brutally murdered"
According to a relative, "They couldn't get a gun license, so they weren't armed when they were walking through Fremont. Then, this happened."
Rather than transforming this story into NRA-style propaganda, the AP has transformed it into pro-illegal-immigration propaganda. You might not notice it as such because you're so used to seeing the one and not the other.
