If he does no hard time and is deported he will return to do it all over again you can surely count on it. What a perversion of justice that would be. The Mexican government is in full support of this invasion of America, they will probably give him a medal as his kind are considered heros in the take over of America. The company that gave him a job is responsible for the invader being here in the first place.

How many times does this same scenario happen in this country? The illegal aliens drive drunk and survive but they always end up killing innocent Americans. Find out who the employers of these illegals are and sue them. If the victims' families can really hit them in the pocketbook maybe they will get the message. My condolences to the families of the victims.
