Illegal alien charged in vehicular homicide

Another illegal alien, suspected of being intoxicated, has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of an 18-year-old Tennessee man.

Luis Oscar Garcia, 24, a Mexican who had been living in the U.S. without a green card for three years, was ordered held without bail this week on the vehicular homicide charge as well as driving under the influence.

The victim in the crash was James F. Rogers Jr. of North Jackson, Tenn.


A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 7, and it is likely Garcia, who speaks little English, will use a court-appointed attorney for his defense.

According to the Jackson Sun, Garcia's 1995 Chevy S-10 pickup ran a red light while traveling north on the U.S. 45 Bypass at Oil Well Road about 2 a.m. Saturday. He slammed into the '95 Honda Civic that Rogers was driving westbound on Oil Well.

Police said Garcia had a strong odor of alcohol on his person and that his pants were soaked with a liquid that indicated the presence of alcohol. There also were two beer bottles, one partially filled, in the truck at the time of the accident, police said.

In addition to the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, Garcia faces counts of driving without a license, registration or proof of insurance. When police did a check on his license plate, it did not come back under his name, the report said.

As WND reported, illegal aliens – mostly driving unregistered and uninsured and without valid licenses – are causing mayhem on America's highways.

While no one – in or out of government – tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

In addition, the states with the most illegal aliens also have the most unlicensed drivers. Those states are also in the lead for the most hit-and-run accidents, according to reports issued by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Pew Hispanic Center. California ranks at the top with 24.1 percent of the known 11.1 million illegal aliens.

To all of you goofballs that rebut this question with the usual "Americans commit crimes too"crap,that isn't the point.The point is that illegal aliens shouldn't be here in the first place.Wake the hell up and quit making excuses for these ILLEGALS.

Amen to WendyD1999.

Any crime committed (by legal or illegal alien) at any time is an unfortunate and sad circumstance, and I have to condone any type of crime that occurs. However, the reality of the situation is that if you calculate the number of crimes by illegals, and the number of crimes by "legals," the proportion is so overwhelmingly against those of legal status that this nation will be much safer if the only crimes commited were those by illegal aliens. Let's take a look what is in the news at the moment: Warren Jeffs, John Karr, Michael Brown (responsible for the lack of FEMA response and therefore the death of over 1500 people in Mississippi and Louisiana), GW Bush (for hiring Michael Brown, among other things), OJ Simpson, and the list goes on.

The report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study that found "20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers." failed to mention that the majority of these fatal accidents by unlicensed drivers were by teenage/underage drivers, and by those whose driver's license were revoked because of previous records (usually DUI).

The point of the question/posting IS to point out that an illegal alien committed a crime. The title is "Another crime by another illegal" and not "Illegal aliens have no legal status in this country."

> I got the point. You are trying to argue the underlying suggestion of your argument, which is completely different. And I don't believe that those who pose the antithesis to your question are PRO crowds. Yes they are preventable crimes, but so are many other crimes. Do you support taking away the 2nd ammendment if it will prevent any more shootings? Do you support taking away the privilege of underage driving if it can prevent motor vehicle crash-related deaths? (Among licensed drivers, young people between the ages of 15 and 20 years old have the highest rate of fatal crashes relative to other age groups, including the elderly.)

"And, just WHAT is your little survey trying to prove??? That AMERICANS outnumber ILLEGALS??? We ALREADY know that!!! So, of couse there are going to be MORE crimes committed by citizens!!!!!" -SRB

> You just supported my point. Thank you.

> And the next time you reference a report, make sure you read the entire report, instead of taking bits and pieces that will support your argument.

Then why don't you send both legals and illegals out of the country?! Any crime being committed is a crime. Period. And, do you want to keep this as a discussion, or do you only want to listen to people who support your beliefs?

You should also listen to Dee Why Boy34. He's been giving you some really great suggestions.

This Mexican must have been lost if he was in Tennessee. What self-respecting Mexican would be in Tennessee?

I heard that a wealthy Tennessee man died and left his entire estate to his grieving widow. However, she won't be able to spend it until her 14th birthday.

I heard they raised the legal drinking age to 28 in Tennessee. They wanted to keep alcohol out of grade schools.

I heard that if a man and woman get a divorce in Tennessee, they are still brother and sister.

I heard that the toothbrush was invented in Tennessee. If it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called the teethbrush.

I'm willing to put hard money on the bet that illegals commit FEWER crimes (as a percentage of their population) than do people born in this country.

Simply because they have more to lose with a run-in with the law.

You illegal immigrant huggers are not looking at the big picture. Unfortunately, it may take something like this to bring a brutal clarity into your diffused sense of reality.

Anytime a drunk driver kills someone it's a tragedy. The fact that it's an illegal just makes it that much worse.

Does anyone really need to be reminded that we don't want illegals in our country? The real question is why doesn't the government do something about it today?

Well on the bright side, since the criminal is an illegal, the cost of defending him in court will be cheaper.
