In Orange County CA a judge just sentenced an illegal alien to 16 months in jail for a DUI. He could have received a 6 year sentence.
Problem is that this wasn't his 1st conviction. It was his 9th DUI and he has been deported 3 times over the last 21 years. His blood alcohol level was .27 (legal limit is .08) for this DUI. The illegal alien plead guilty.
Thankfully he hasn't hit or killed anyone YET. However, he will probably spend 8 months in jail and then will be deported AGAIN.
What do you think about the sentence, the fact that he will be back in the US in about 9 months and the judge is an idiot!?

I don't have a link but I heard about the story in a radio interview with the Assistant DA for Orange County. He was very upset since the drunk driver's sentence was so short. Many of these cases are sentenced to 6 years.
The reason I mentioned that he was an illegal alien is because he's been deported 3 times and he's back again. He's not suppose to be here!
My main problem with this case is that this drunk gets off with basically a slap on the wrist for a 9th DUI. He committed a FELONY by driving drink and a felony for entering the US after he was deported 3 times. The secondary issue is that he shouldn't be here to put the public in danger. He doesn't care that he was 3 times the legal limit. THe DA said at that level he probably couldn't walk or even see properly.
To those of you that called me racist, this has nothing to do with race. This is about the law. BTW, Mexican is not a race so put away the race card! The sware words were not appropriate either, thank you!

Why in the heck are we the tax payers even going to pay for his sorry butt in jail for those 6 years? Deported 3 times that is just freaking sick! This is yet another example how we need to put more and more pressure on our gov. Drink driving no matter what is a crime enough no matter who you are, but know that this is his 9th DUI over her Illegal makes me sick.

Nope, not fair at all. The way I look at it is he should be made to work for his stay in our jail since we are paying for that also. Truly the best thing to do is send him back to where he came from and be done with it. If someone is deported more than once, then they should be eligible to be extradicted to Texas where there is a just sentence for repeat offenders, it's called the death penalty. I guarantee if there was a law that stated if you were caught illegally more than 3 times you got the death penalty and would be executed within 30 days, there would be a huge surge of people going back to where they came from with a quickness.
Gives a new spin to the three strikes and you are out laws huh?

How about let the guy serve his sentence then BILL his Homeland for the service. Of course, this Illegal Alien should be barred from EVER returning to the US again.
BTW----Typical Liberal CA judges.

There really isn't much a judge can do.... illegals have to be deported back to their country of origin... I am amazed he is spending ANY time in a US jail... and isn't being deported right away. Too bad we don't have an agreement with his country that he be placed in jail THERE. I hear US jails are the Beverly Hills Hotel compared to most other country's jails.... It WOULD be nice if he got placed on a no-fly list or some sort of alert that would not let him back in this country if he tries to come back.... except he is an illegal - meaning he arrived here through other than legal means... hmmmm....
I don't know what to tell you. I agree that something needs to be done about it... I know I don't want MY tax dollars paying for illegal immigrants... oh wait... they already do. Go figure.

that is the most rediculous thing i have ever heard. the judge had every reason to charge a maximum sentence especially if it is not a fiirst offense, and the person came into the USA illegally. people are so crazy these days!!

That is crasy! So I guess if he comes back into the USA and happens to be drunk and hits and kills a police officer, or a court official, then maybe then they'll get the message? It's a shame to what this country has become, no wonder bad things happen to the innocent here. Seems like the crooks always slip through the loopholes doesn't it? The sentence was wrong, and I agree with you.

Yes, the judge is not just an idiot, he is irresponsible. The illegal is going to end up killing someone eventually.

I like Nicole J's answer, and agree with it as well. However I should add, that he is going to kill someone (or many) even if the book is thrown at him.

First do you have a source for this news story that people can look at independantly?
Second if you are asking if the DUI sentance was fair I don't know. I also don't know if the judge is an idiot or not OR if the guy could really get a 6 years. What is the normal time for DUI in CA?
Third it is about his DUI so what does him being an illegal alien have to do with anything?

If everything you tell me is true, I agree with you that the Judge is an idiot...he needs an accident cause by a drunk driver.
