    Under Whacko Barako’s new pen waving executive orders to ICE to not enforce the law, suspected illegals like this are just fleeing from the crime now and staying in the area rather than going home to hide from the law and then come back under a new name on a fake document.

    Spanish name = Suspected illegal. I guess that is no different than assuming anyone who takes the name Justice must be white trash stupid.

    Liberals act like suspected illegals aren’t commonly involved in fatal DUI crashes and don’t flee crime scenes as a common event. Their bubbles they live in are always a statement in themselves as to their ignorance and lack of real world experience.

    Again Justice, it’s not like “white” people haven’t been involved in hit and runs. And what about all those WOPS from Sicily, they have had a negative “impact” for decades in a number of ways. Don’t you want them deported too… make ’em an offer they can’t refuse… d.a.
