All of these Criminal Illegals should be run out of this Country immediately!! The County where I live is over run with them and they are a huge drain on emergency services and social programs that we taxpayers are paying for. People need to wake up before our Country is taken from us by illegal criminals! Prayers for the firefighters family.
She strikes and kills this kid while driving without a license, and she’s gonna het away with it/deported?! Are you f—ing kidding me?!
Charge her with vehicular manslaughter, sentence her to prison and then deport her if and when she gets out of prison.
This is s double tragedy.
Almost as soon as I posted my previous comment I learned this:

This is f**king outrageous! I AM LIVID!!!
The government will look at this and their way of fixing it, make all road signs bi-lingual so the illegals can read them better. Ya know, instead of fixing the problem.
Send ALL of them back where they came from. They are draining us and the ones that get in legal are taking all the f/f jobs in the county!!
Ma’am, you killed my friend. YOU DID THAT! But Chance, Chance brought together over 2500 people that loved him to give him the homegoing service of a lifetime. HE DID THAT!
