Protected Illegal Kills Man

From the San Fran Chronicle: On Nov. 16, 2010, an unlicensed driver named Roberto Galo took a left turn at Harrison and 16th streets and hit motorcyclist Drew Rosenberg. After Galo then backed over Rosenberg's body, the law-school student died. A jury convicted Galo for manslaughter and driving without a license. After serving 43 days in jail, he was released on home detention.
Don Rosenberg of Westlake Village (Los Angeles County) blames San Francisco politics for his son's death. He also fears that the like-minded Obama administration will shield unlicensed drivers to the detriment of public safety - and Washington isn't giving him reason to believe otherwise.
This sanctuary city has been so eager to protect illegal immigrants who cannot obtain California drivers' licenses that in 2009, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom announced that the city no longer would impound the cars of unlicensed drivers automatically. In 2008, the AAA Foundation for Public Safety reported that 29 percent of fatal car crashes in California involved a driver without a valid license. No worries. San Francisco sent a message to folks who haven't even passed a driver's test: You can drive here and get away with it.
Accidents happen, but Rosenberg doesn't see this crash as an accident - Galo, after all, backed over Rosenberg's son.
You can't blame California's law that denies driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. As a legal immigrant given temporary protective status, Galo was eligible for a driver's license. But he didn't have one, and he drove anyway. That decision demonstrated a reckless disregard for the safety of others and disrespect for California law.
Repeated disrespect. Five months earlier, police stopped Galo for driving the wrong way on a one-way street and driving without a license. He paid a $220 fine. Then-Police Chief George Gascón - now the district attorney - supported the Newsom plan. He even told me at the time that it would help legal residents who couldn't afford to get a license or driver training. Does he still support it? No answer from his office.
While there are some illegals who want to come to the U.S. and not cause any problems and want to earn a living, there are so many illegals who come here and break the law.  Some times by accident and many other times on purpose.
What liberals don't realize is that illegals are here illegally and so what's breaking another law for them?  while we cannot deport every illegal in the U.S., we certainly can deport everyone who breaks the law, we certainly deport anyone who seeks free medical care or free welfare benefits.
But the liberals and many conservatives do not want to deport illegals who should not be here, even they have broken the law or seek a bunch of freebies on the backs of U.S, state and local taxpayers.  Unfortunately, the clown we have in the White House and liberal governors and mayors of large urban cities, will not do anything because they look at these illegals as voters and future voters.

  1. What do you expect from a culture in which obeying traffic laws are considered optional? I'm not kidding.

    This is disgraceful! The victim would likely still be alive if this turd had been deported. Plenty of US Citizens are killed by people who should never have been in the US to begin with.

    BTW - have you heard about an immigrant Obama WANTS to deport? Check here: http://www.vdare.com/articles/memo-from-middle-america-obama-s-administrative-amnesty-not-applicable-to-white-legal-engli
