Wonder how the pro-illegal crowd feel about his victims being Hispanic descent.
But everyone in the first vehicle struck by the 18-wheeler died: Arturo Cortez, 69, his wife Estrellita, 64, and their 7-year-old granddaughter Kayla, who was in the backseat.
The truck dragged the Cortezes' car "for more than 100 feet, leaving, I'm sorry to say, body parts in the road," O'Neale said.
They had to use a Portuguese interpreter at the trial..at taxpayer expense.
California Department of Motor Vehicles records show that the Oliveira had been on one year of probation after he racked up six violation points against his commercial driver's license, including three convictions for breaking the state's 55-mph speed limit for tractor-trailers.
Why wasn't he deported before people had to die?
Oliveira pleaded guilty to seven counts of reckless driving in exchange for prosecutors dropping four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Why a plea bargain?
At least the judge had more sense than the probation folks.
Thompson's sentence was more than the two years in prison recommended by the state Department of Parole and Probation. Thompson said the recommended sentence "neglects the fact that you killed four people."

The illegal immigration one could be a good one, because it has two sides two it. People are either for or against driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. It's also an interesting subject that I have actually never thought of before. Just keep in mind that you will probably tick some people off with this subject, but that's okay. A persuasive essay should argue something that has people who are both for and against topic. The pollution debate is an important topic, but it seems more one-sided. I think we all understand, deep down, that we do need to take care of the environment. Whether we actually follow through or not is another subject- some people are just to lazy to recycle, for example, though we understand how important it is. Good luck!

Identity theives don't just look for people's unattended checkbooks, anymore. There is more money to be made by defrauding small businesses and in selling fake id's to people looking to skirt the laws.

He probably knew someone that works at the DMV. The state should be held responsible. I hope the victims' families go after them and the company that hired him.

The illegal and the state should be held responsible, I hope they both pay dearly. Deport illegals. How many more citizens have to die?

I wish people would learn to read.He did not have to have a state issued commercial drivers license.NAFTA agreement allows Mexican drivers(licensed of course) as well as Canadian drivers to haul freight(IE:drive a truck) in the U.S. without a state issued license.Don't like it?;blame your elected representatives,they passed the law and Clinton signed it into law.
