Nemias Garcia-Velasco, 32, was involved in a fatal crash on July 5, 2017 in Douglas County, Nebraska (Omaha). His 2001 Dodge Ram Van was going over 100 mph at the time of the accident and it hit a guardrail, rolled over and caught fire. A passenger Silvano Torres, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt died in the crash.
Mr. Garcia-Velasco admitted to police at the scene that he had consumed 12 beers some hours before the crash. At the hospital his BAC (blood alcohol level) measured at .243, well over the legal limit of .08.
What is not surprising, and has been happening time after time all over the US, is that Mr. Garcia-Velasco is an illegal immigrant from Mexico. We are becoming more aware of illegals committing crimes in our country, after Donald Trump's escalator Presidential announcement, even though these crimes have been in "hidden" in full view for a very long time.
What makes this particular incident noteworthy is that Garcia-Velasco had been deported 7 previous times to this incident. You did not misread that. He was deported SEVEN previous times. This case speaks to how broken our immigration system is and how weak our border is.
Deportation means relatively little to someone who is motivated to come to this country and has economic and/or familial ties. You get sent back and all you have to do is return via the same path. Your only concern is being caught again and face the relative light slap on the wrist of deportation.
Of course if you are a smart illegal, you would set up shop in a sanctuary city and you could enjoy the full privileges of this country; drivers license, free education for your children, anchor baby citizenship, welfare, voting, legal protections, etc.
This is pure speculation but worth consideration. Douglas County, Nebraska, where the crime occurred is not a sanctuary city/county but Hall County and Sarpy County both in Nebraska are. One has to wonder if Mr. Garcia-Velasco resided in these counties and had the misfortune of committing his crime in Douglas County?

Unbelievable. Speaking as a non-American, I have no idea how 'Sanctuary Cities' are allowed to operate. They can just ignore federal law, but continue to receive federal funds and citizens don't have a problem with this?
These sanctuary cities are indeed acting in violation of US Federal law and have prior to this point not had to face consequences. The current administration (Trump) has promised these cities will face consequences, primarily federal de-funding but this process requires either Executive Order or Legislative Action and will most certainly by slowed down by lawsuits in the court.
Democrat politicians want illegals because it helps to keep them in power. Anyone who says that illegals do not participate in elections is fooling themselves. Why do you think there is such resistance to Voter ID laws from Democrats?
On the other side of the aisle, the Republican Establishment (GOPe) wants illegals because the politicians want to keep receiving bribes in the form of campaign donations from the cheap-labor lobby. They also believe that if they never discuss anything on immigration enforcement, then perhaps they will be looked upon more favorably by the Hispanic community. The GOPe is too dumb to remember that Ronald Reagan granted amnesty back in the 80s and the GOP did not benefit from that.
So there you have it. What the Democrats and the GOPe want is the status quo. Meanwhile we have millions of unemployed and ordinary Americans furious at the numbers of illegals flowing across the border. This anger comes from all races of Americans. I have met Black, Hispanic, Asian and Indian voters who have never voted GOP before, but voted for Trump because they too are sick and tired of the whole thing.
To discourage illegals coming here the US must:
MSM will ignore this!
