"Illegal immigration doesn't hurt anyone"

Bull.

Bob Clark, a film director who had credits such as Porky's and A Christmas Story, was killed along with his son when his car was struck by an SUV driven by an allegedly drunk illegal immigrant, who was driving without a license.

The illegal, Hector Velazquez-Nava, was driving in the wrong lane of the highway when he hit the car containing the Clarks. ICE has placed an immigration hold on him, and if he somehow makes his $100,000 bail, he will go straight to federal custody. If convicted, he will be deported to Mexico after serving his sentence.

If this man had not been in the country illegally, two American citizens would be alive today. There is a real cost to illegal immigration, and the Clarks just paid it.
