This cannot be right

An undocumented alien in Houston commits a crime. How can this be? The regime of B Hussein Obama has not rested until the southern border was secure. Even Janet Napolitano said "...the Arizona border has never been more secure..." But we are talking about Texas, not Arizona.

ICE questions status of driver accused in fatal porch crash - Houston Chronicle

A suspected drunken driver accused of crashing into a home killing one child and injuring another is being held without bail after a judge heard Monday that he may not be in this country legally.

Luis Hector Lopez-Rodriguez, 27, is accused of losing control of the blue Ford Crown Victoria he was driving and plowing into the front porch of a southwest Houston apartment, where two children were playing during a Saturday night party.

During a brief court appearance Monday, Magistrate Judge Blanca Villagomez said federal officials have put a hold on Lopez-Rodriguez. That action typically means his immigration status is in question. He apparently is a Mexican citizen.

Lopez-Rodriguez is charged with intoxication manslaughter and intoxicated assault. If convicted, he faces a maximum punishment of life in prison...

...Saturday's wreck was not the first time Lopez-Rodriguez has been accused of driving drunk. In January 2008, he pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in exchange for three days in jail.

He also was charged last year with assaulting his wife....

...Gregory Palmore, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Monday that the agency was still investigating Lopez-Rodriguez's immigration status. Lopez-Rodriguez listed his place of birth as San Luis Potosi, Mexico, court records show.

Lopez-Rodriguez was last booked into Harris County Jail in December 2007 - nearly a year before the county started participating in ICE's Secure Communities immigration enforcement program, which runs suspects' fingerprints through a Homeland Security database. It was unclear from court records whether ICE officials questioned Lopez-Rodriguez or marked him for possible deportation in 2007.

In all seriousness six Houston cops have either been killed or injured by illegal aliens in the last six years. But for some reason DC doesn't see our wide open border as a problem. Then again, these people are only here to do the crimes Americans won't do anymore
