    Mother whose son was killed by an undocumented driver wants to repeal law that would allow people without legal status driver's licenses

    The driver hit Matthew and dragged him a quarter of a mile as witnesses screamed for him to stop.

    Matthew survived the initial collision, and it was when Guaman was fleeing that he ran Matthew over, and that's what killed him when he dragged him. Matthew was banging on the truck screaming for his life. People outside were banging on his truck, trying to get him to stop. He accelerated. He accelerated when that happened. He didn't stop.

    "He dragged him to his death. If he had stopped, Matthew might have survived."

    "I will do everything in my power to get him deported," the mother said.


    Some people claim illegal immigrants are less likely to get into accidents because they are so worried about getting caught, but here was a case where the illegal immigrant caused a death because he was desperately trying to flee the scene so he wouldn't be recognized and get caught.

    As for this migrant being under the influence, well, when it comes to illegal immigration, America has not exactly been getting Mexico's "best and brightest".

    And even after all this, there's a high chance he will not be deported and Massachusetts will protect him from federal authorities. Likely even release him before the next Republican president is sworn into office, to make sure they won't be able to go to the prison to grab him. (Sounds crazy but progressives in these areas would totally do that)​

    I would want him in prison, not deported

    don't fall for he brer rabbit trick, they want to be thrown in the briar patch (deported) as that is the 'get out of jail free' card

    He can be deported back to his own country in his own government can jail him.

    We don't need to pay twice for the same person.

    I have heard that the government does not keep statistics on deaths caused by illegal aliens.

    And I do believe some years ago I tried to look that up and could not find any information. Of course they don't want to keep track of it it highlights their failure at keeping our borders secure

    So he would be less dead if a citizen did it?

    She wants him deported after his prison term is over, which in that part of the country likely will not be very long.

    The point is that there is a connection that exists between this happening and him being an illegal.

    I don't understand your volition behind that one.

    Maybe the U.S. should come up with some arrangement with Mexico?

    Same thing with the children of illegals when they have to stay with a foster family because their parent is in prison.

    How long do you think the taxpayers should be burdened with incarcerating him here?

    Actually if that illegal was in his home country instead of being here illegally her son would still be alive as that incident wouldn't have happened to begin with.

    If he were not here illegally it would not have been possible for this event to have occurred.

    I'm not talking about your theoretical I'm talking about what actually did occur.

    and if Americans go to other countries and break the law, the US has to house them for their sentances too?

    He would most likely be alive if the illegal had not been in our country. Because it was this illegal who killed him. Not a citizen.

    He's getting out of jail soon. The mother wants him deported rather then protected from deportation by the state of MA

    Why not the death penalty? No need to deport and it could cost about a dime. A .22 bullet is cheap.

    When I lived in CA the billboards for lawyers advertised mostly for car accidents and workplace injuries and violations. Here in NM by the border with Mexico they advertise for car accidents and drunk driving. I’ve never seen so many people either drive drunk or get caught driving while being drunk until I immersed myself into the Mexican culture.

    And illegals should not be here period. If it saves just one life, right libs?

    Tennessee is trying to a handle on this stuff. Did this deceased American citizen have any kids?



    Tennessee Legislature passes bill that would require drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a parent

    If signed into law, it would be the first state to hold convicted drunk drivers financially responsible for the children of their victims.

    Oh, sounds very harsh. Maybe they should only pay half the child support?

    I don't know what country you're from, but the median expense of death row inmates in the US is over $1.26 million an inmate, some cases in Texas exceeded 2 million.

    Should be paid for by labor from the prison population.
