A law to deport illegal immigrants who commit drunken driving offenses was defeated by Democratic lawmakers in a state where dozens of innocent Americans have been killed or critically injured recently by illegal aliens driving under the influence.
The bill was introduced in the California Assembly after a drunken illegal immigrant struck a mother of four (Sara Cole) as she loaded her sons’ bikes into the family car. The severe blow crushed the northern California woman’s legs, leaving her partially paralyzed. The illegal immigrant driver (Lucio Rodriguez) had a previous drunken driving conviction, a suspended license and a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit.
Multiple illegal alien offenders like Rodriguez will remain protected from automatic deportation in California thanks to Democratic lawmakers, who joined forces this week to defeat the bill known as Sara’s Law. The two legislators who voted for the much-needed ordinance in the state Assembly’s public safety committee were Republicans with the majority Democrats voting against it.
The legislation would have required local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement when a person who gets arrested for driving under the influence causes bodily injury or property damage of more than $600 and cannot provide valid documentation of their legal status.
Attached to the proposed bill are dozens of tragic cases in which drunken illegal immigrants—many repeat offenders—murdered or critically injured innocent Americans throughout the country, including children, teenagers, young fathers and mothers. Examples include an intoxicated alien who ran a stop sign and killed a 14-year-old girl and her 4-year-old cousin, another who ran over a 31-year-old father of three while riding a bicycle on Sunday morning, a man who killed a 21-year-old woman by slamming his vehicle into the back of her sports car and a teenager seriously injured by an illegal immigrant who fled the scene but was later arrested for a separate offense.

Who's illegal?
The illegal are citizens who give jobs to those who lack the necessary documentation for work. The legal status of the latter should be another topic.
Drunken Illegals
I will not vote Democratic because of the left wingers. Lets hope no one in their family is ever killed by a dwi illegal.
DUI Illegal Immigrants
We should extend this law and take away citizenship for drunk driving from
natural born citizens and send them to Iraq to fight the war and settle a colony
there.
Not surprised at the final vote.
Illegals tend to vote Democrat because they get promised all the freebies from Democrat legislatures. California's going broke and but does not recognize why.
In Congress, Speaker Pelosi supports illegal aliens because she needs the illegals to harvest her grapes. If every DUI illegal, undocumented, unlawful alien (drinking Pelosi's wine or not) in this country were deported, Speaker Pelosi's grapes would ferment on the vine.
Remember, you get what you vote for. If you're a responsible working person and don't want "nanny-state" to take your taxes away from you for your own good, steer clear of Democrat candidates.
As Obama, Sr. said and Obama, Jr. agrees: "Theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 per cent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed." (it's called Marxism)
Send Them Back
they take our jobs steal our women, why don't they stay in there own place and leave us alone, they should send them all back
illegal immigrants
illegal immigrants don't steal your jobs they're just doing what you don't want to do. if you don't want them to steal your women then take care of them instead of smoking weed. you are not better than them!!!!!!!!!!!
illegal drivers under the influence
What can we do about all this illegal immigration stuff,illegal and legal mexican gangs and drugs and graffiti,and drivers under the influence of drugs/alcohol ? Deportation seems at least a try.It's interesting to me that California and the United States is fumbling so much about this when it should not even be up for opinion,how can we the people actually be happy with all this turmoil? Thank you.
I don't want this to sound
I don't want this to sound harsh but I don't think deporting these illegal immigrants would solve anything. There are thousands of Americans charged for DUI as well and how do we treat them? All of those charges with DUI should attend a strict sobriety program, they should bring a serious prof of that, jailing them won't produce better people for our society... There is a lot to discuss on this matter and a single comment won't cover it all. All I am saying is that we need to find constructive solutions to these problems.
Illegals cost this country over $1,000,000,000,000 and lives!
If you honestly think that illegals aren't having a HUGE impact on our country, you are dead wrong. Illegals are bankrupting our hospitals, increasing our crime rates, and not only do they take jobs, but they ALSO decrease the value of our entry level positions.
Please people get educated before you make comments.
Report and Deport, and build a wall to keep them out
We must stop the illegal alien invasion. Driving drunk is the M.O. of the illegals from South America. An average of 12 American deaths daily at the hands of these drunk-driving criminals is unacceptable!
Illegals
LegalCitizen,
When you ask people to get educated before posting, please practice what you preach. If you check to see what race has the majority of people on welfare and that are draining our country and getting free money, and health care, There is a higher percentage of whites and blacks doing so. It's funny how alot of you here accuse the illegal immigrants of so much, but there you are at our local welfare office come monday morning. First you need to use actual facts before you post, so you quit looking like an ignorant SOB.
