Imagine my shock and dismay when I read this
(06/05/07 — RALEIGH) – Eyewitness News has learned the man charged with drunken driving in crash that killed a man Monday morning is in the United States illegally.
Sources with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in Wake County tell Eyewitness News this afternoon that Michael Caldera De Latorre, 24, is an illegal alien. ICE officials also said De Latorre tried to enter the United States at least twice before, both times in April of 2004.
In both instances, De Latorre was apprehended by federal agents and returned to his home country of Mexico voluntarily.
It is not known when De Latorre successfully crossed into the United States. Immigrations officials have put what’s called a detainer on De Latorre, meaning that if he is able to post his $1.2 million bond, he will be released in ICE custody and could be deported.
President Bush? Mr. Chertoff? Senators McCain, Kennedy, and all those who support amnesty for illegals, and are failing to enforce the laws of the United States of America, are you taking note?
De LaTorre, 24, faces a number of charges including DWI, felony death by motor vehicle, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Authorities said he was behind the wheel of a Chevy Tahoe that crossed the I-40 median at Wade Avenue Monday morning, slamming into two cars.
George Smith, 54, of Cary died. Carolyn Hageman, 35, of Apex was driving the second car the SUV hit. She suffered non-life threatening injuries.
I am so angry that, quite frankly, I can hardly find the words to express the way I feel about this. This is my town, the city I live in. I have been on that section of Wade Avenue numerous times. Like so many of y’all out there in the ‘sphere, I have heard these kinds of stories before. Too many times, in fact. But this really brings the issue home.
That is Michael Caldera De Latorre. Authorities do not even know if that is his real name. He killed an American citizen and hurt another while here illegally for a third time. President Bush and many in the Senate want to give him amnesty. (Picture from WRAL, who also has the story.)
That is George Smith, whose family and friends last bit of quality time with him will be at a funeral. Remember those faces, Mr. President and other amnesty supporters.
It’s a shame that there are no provisions to file impeachment or recall motions against federally elected "representatives."
Confederate Yankee calls De Latorre the Republican Willie Horton.
Firewolf has his 6 Point Plan for solving the illegal immigration problem. Agree 100%.
