Democrats Defend Drunk Drivers
DUI defender and DACA fan
Joe Biden picks up a key California endorsement.
“You only arrest for the purpose of
dealing with a felony that’s committed, and I don’t count drunk driving as a
felony.” That was former vice president
Joe Biden last week, and the presidential contender announced a punishment for
ICE agents who dare arrest illegals caught driving drunk.
“You change the culture by saying
you are going to get fired,” Biden explained. “You are fired if, in fact, you
do that.” That fell afoul of former ICE boss Tom Homan, who explained that
according to current statues, any crime by an illegal is grounds for
deportation. If Biden doesn’t like what ICE is doing, Homan told Fox News, “then he can change the law,
but you cannot fire a law enforcement officer to enforcing the law
that he took an oath to enforce, a law that was enacted by Congress.”
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority, “every day, almost 30 people die in drunk-driving crashes.”
Those crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year, and contribute to costs
of $44 billion in 2010 alone. Many states prosecute drunk driving as a
felony, particularly in cases of injury or death. Even so, presidential
contender Biden doesn’t consider drunk driving a felony, and last week
announced more good news for those illegally present in the United States.
“In many cases, they’re more American than most Americans are because they have done well in school,” Biden said of
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. “They believe the
basic principles that we all share. I think they should be, in fact, fine to
put on a path to citizenship.”
Legal immigrants and legitimate
citizens might wonder what the former vice president, a lawyer, is talking
about. On the other hand, Biden’s comments did not prevent a ringing
endorsement from a prominent California Democrat.
“For me, vice president Biden is
the best candidate,” Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg told reporters last week. “This country desperately needs both strong leadership and a
voice of healing. This country is so badly divided in large part because of the
current president.” As it happens, when it comes to drunk drivers Steinberg and
Biden are on the same page.
In 2017, Steinberg approved
$300,000 in city funding to provide legal services and other benefits for
foreign nationals illegally present in the United States. Steinberg, a
supporter of sanctuary laws, said his concern was people who are a threat, but
illegal immigrants eligible for monetary aid include those with convictions for
DUI, a felony offense if people are injured or killed.
Last year in Knight’s Landing, a
small community north of Sacramento, Mexican national Ismael Huazo-Jardinez smashed his truck into a residence killing Jose
Pacheco, 38, Anna Pacheco, 34, the couple’s son Angel, 10, and
injuring their 11-year-old daughter. Police charged Huazo-Jardinez,
previously deported in 2011, with felony DUI and three counts of vehicular
manslaughter.
Huazo Jardinez attempted to flee
the scene but Sutter County judge David Ashby, a 2016 appointee of Gov. Jerry
Brown, allowed the Mexican to post bail. The suspect then fled but was quickly apprehended
by ICE agents and also charged with ‘two counts of possessing a firearm while being an alien unlawfully in the United States.”
Despite the two fatalities in the felony DUI, the case drew no public comment
from mayor Steinberg, Governor Gavin Newsom or attorney general Xavier Becerra,
once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate.
On December 16, 2018, Newman,
California, police officer Ronil “Ron” Singh, a legal immigrant from Fiji,
pulled over a drunk driver who gunned down the officer. Police arrested a
Mexican national calling himself Gustavo Perez Arriaga and Paulo Virgen
Mendoza.
The Mexican national, illegally
present in the United States, had been arrested for felony DUI, in 2011, in a case that caused injury, and arrested on another DUI in
2014. That year the Mexican was sentenced to five days in jail but failed to
show. Under California sanctuary policy, he was never handed over to ICE for
deportation.
After the murder of officer Singh,
several other illegals helped the suspect flee. One of them, Eriz Quiroz, has
already been sentenced to prison after prosecution by U.S.
Attorney McGregor Scott. The suspect, now calling himself Paulo Virgen Mendoza,
is being prosecuted by state judge Ricardo Córdova, a 2003 appointee of
Democrat Gov. Gray Davis, and the murder case has been postponed until March
10, 2020.
Attorney general Xavier Becerra and
Gov. Gavin Newsom, both supporters of California’s sanctuary law, did not
attend the funeral of police officer Ron Singh. Neither Democrat has publicly
decried the officer’s murder as an example of “gun violence.”
Meanwhile, Sacramento mayor Darrell
Steinberg, a former state Senate boss, spends taxpayer dollars on the legal
fees of illegals, believes drunk driving does not constitute a threat, and
believes Joe Biden is the “best candidate” for president. The former vice
president believes drunk driving is not a felony, that ICE agents who arrest
drunken illegals should be fired, and that foreign nationals are more American
than Americans because they “have done well in school.”
The election takes place on
November 3. As President Trump says, we’ll see what happens.
Pro-Migration
Lawyers: Drunk-Driving Illegals Should Get Green Cards

Illegal immigrants who have two or more
drunk-driving convictions should be allowed to stay in the United States, say
pro-migration lawyers.
The demand came after Attorney
General William Barr issued an October 25 legal directive, dubbed “Matter of
CASTILLO-PEREZ, Respondent,” saying that immigration judges should reject legal
pleas for green cards by illegals:
I hold that, when assessing an
alien’s good moral character under section 101(f) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (“INA”), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f), evidence of two or more
convictions for driving under the influence during the relevant period
establishes a rebuttable presumption that the alien lacked good moral character
during that time.
…
Congress has required a showing of
good moral character as a condition of eligibility for cancellation of removal.
A person who consumes drugs or alcohol and then repeatedly gets behind the
wheel of a vehicle while impaired demonstrates a character inconsistent with
the Nation’s moral standards, because he places not only his life but the lives
of innocents on the road in grave danger.
“Fabricated’ jurisprudence,'” responded lawyer Ira
Kurzban. “AG Barr who may be in jail by the end of the impeachment process
got one more shot in against immigrants.”
“Ah-ha! I see AG
Barr dropped 2 decisions just before he called it a day to screw up
further ability of immigrants to legalize status,!,” said immigration
lawyer Nicolette Glazer. “2 DUIs are now “presumptively” = to lack of
good moral character.”
Practical bottom line: long time
residents who are placed in removal proceedings will not even have a chance to
apply for relief if they have 2 or more DUIs in the 10 years preceding the
master calendar on which the IJ asks “what relief is Resp. applying for?
… Meaning of course that ppl will not be able to receive C10 work
permits. Which of course is what Stephen Miller & cie is after. They
want to prevent ppl from obtaining work permits to force self-deportation. Evil
bast*rds.
Many illegals are convicted of drunk
driving. For example, Breitbart News reported October 27
the death of two legal immigrants by an illegal who was let stay in the United
States:
An illegal alien in the sanctuary
state of Illinois is accused of killing two legal immigrants in a deadly drunk
driving crash last week, law enforcement officials say.
Juan Rodea-Cruz, a 25-year-old
illegal alien, is accused of killing 26-year-old Marko Boskovic, a legal
immigrant from Serbia, and 25-year-old Laura Uribe, a legal immigrant from
Colombia, in a drunk driving
crash on October 20 while driving
the wrong way down a highway in Clarendon Hills, Illinois.
Rodea-Cruz — whom the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has requested custody of — was found with
multiple open, unopened, and broken liquor bottles in his vehicle, according to
the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office.
Long-term illegals who face
deportation can ask a judge for “cancellation of removal.” If approved, the
cancellation allows them to stay in the United States, to get a “c10” work
permit, and also get green cards. But Barr’s rule will deny that benefit to
migrants who have gotten two or more DUIs.
Roughly 4,000 people get
“Cancellation of Removal” per year, according to Barr’s decision.
Wtf?
“The green card path AG Barr is
limiting is available to unauthorized immigrants who have been in the country
for 10+ years— i.e. over 60% of the unauthorized population,” said immigration lawyer Sarah
Pierce.
“Not just one benefit: determination
of good moral character, which is required for many applications and it also
references discretion – which is pretty much all applications.” said immigration lawyer
Bridget Cambria.
Cancellation of removal is just one
of many hidden pathways through the
nation’s complex immigraiton rules. The paths have been cut by legislators,
judges, business groups, progressives — and also by the immigration lawyers who
guide people through the pathways, for a fee.
Immigration Numbers:
Each year, roughly four million
young Americans join the workforce after graduating from high
school or a university. This total includes about 800,000 Americans who
graduate with skilled degrees in business or health care, engineering or
science, software, or statistics.
But the federal government then
imports about 1.1 million legal immigrants. It also adds replacement workers to
a resident population of more than 1.5 million white-collar visa workers —
including approximately one million H-1B workers and about 500,000 blue-collar
H-2B, H-2A, and J-1 visa workers. The government also prints more than one million work permits for new
foreigners, and it rarely punishes companies for employing illegal migrants.
This policy of inflating the labor
supply boosts economic
growth and stock values for investors. The stimulus
happens because the extra labor ensures that employers do not have to compete
for American workers by offering higher wages and better working conditions.
The federal policy of flooding the market
with cheap, foreign white-collar graduates and
blue-collar labor shifts wealth from young employees toward older
investors. It also widens wealth
gaps, reduces high-tech
investment, increases state and
local tax burdens, reduces marriage rates, and
hurts children’s schools and college educations.
The cheap-labor economic strategy
also pushes Americans
away from high-tech careers, and it sidelines millions of marginalized Americans,
including many who are now struggling with drug
addictions.
The labor policy also moves business investment and
wealth from the Heartland to the coastal cities, explodes rents and
housing costs, undermines suburbia, shrivels real estate
values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.
But President Donald Trump’s “Hire
American” policy is boosting wages by capping immigration within a growing
economy.
The Census Bureau said September 10 that men who
work full-time and year-round got an average earnings boost of 3.4 percent in
2018, pushing their median salaries up to $55,291. Women gained 3.3 percent in
wages, bringing their median salaries to $45,097 for full time, year-round
work.
