Yet another “wake-up” article to the sheer depths illegal aliens and their activists will go to play the “woe is me” card.  The illegal alien crossed not one, not two, but three lanes of traffic before smashing his commercial (that’s a big rig) truck into Deputy Millers vehicle.   

This is basically saying illegal aliens should not be prosecuted for crimes they commit, because doing so shows anti-illegal immigrant hysteria.

Houston Chronicle
HOUSTON — Civil rights activists say “anti-immigrant hysteria” helped lead to the arrest of a Hispanic truck driver after a car accident that killed a Harris County sheriff’s deputy who was driving drunk.

Jose Jesus Vieyra, 57, a Mexican immigrant, is accused of causing a crash that killed sheriff’s deputy Craig W. Miller on Feb. 21. Authorities say Vieyra caused the crash by crossing three lanes of traffic in his commercial truck and veering in front of Miller.

But autopsy results released Thursday show that Miller, 43, had a blood-alcohol level between 0.27 and 0.32 when he died — more than three times the legal limit.

Miller had been off-duty when he was called in to work the night of the accident. He was driving to an undercover surveillance assignment.

Harris County assistant district attorney Bill Hawkins said allegations that Miller was drunk don’t affect causation in the collision. Vieyra remains jailed on a $35,000 bail, charged with criminally negligent homicide.

“This rush to judgment, this anti-immigrant hysteria, it clouds the truth. It really does,” said Randall Kallinen, president of the American Rights Association, a civil rights and civil liberties group based in Houston.

The League of United Latin American Citizens is calling for an independent agency, such as the FBI, to investigate how the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Harris County District Attorney’s Office have handled the case.

“We don’t feel the sheriff’s office and DA’s office can do a fair and unbiased investigation on this case,” said Francisco B. Rodriguez III, director of LULAC’s local office. “They have done minimal work because they thought they had a scapegoat.”

The sheriff’s office declined to comment on Rodriguez’s comments.

The sheriff’s department has said it is still interviewing witnesses and hasn’t completed an accident report.

Hawkins said he will wait for the sheriff’s investigation to finish before taking the case to a grand jury.

Federal immigration officials have said Vieyra is in the country on a visitor’s visa that has expired. If released, Vieyra will likely be deported.

TEXAS –Hundreds of unsuspecting Kelsey-Seybold Clinic patients had personal information was stolen by a billing office employee in an identity theft scheme. Using the information of more then 200 people, most with common surnames such as Smith, Brown and Anderson, unauthorized accounts were opened with combined credit limits of $1.6 million dollars.

Justice was paid on Friday when Kelsey-Seybold Clinics insurance analyst Kretia Lutriel Griffin and her partner Aubry Johnson were sentenced to federal prison for their parts in the elaborate scam.  Griffin (39), had access to the financial records of one of Houston’s largest medical clinics.

Between October 2005 and March 2006, Griffon sold personal data to Johnson, 35.  Johnson and others then used this information to open credit accounts at Target, Wal-Mart and Home Depot.

HOUSTON, Tx — The Harris County Attorney’s Office is conducting investigations in voter fraud in Precinct 219 in southeast Houston.

Some senior citizen voters had to be turned away because absentee ballots had already been mailed in using their names, even though the citizens hadn’t yet voted.  In essence someone else already voted for them silencing their voices.

Police are also investigating reports of individuals going door to door, offering help to seniors with filing voters registration forms.  These individuals then used this information to mail absentee ballots in their names, thus stealing their votes.

Anyone with tips are asked to contact Local 2 Investigations at (713) 223-TIPS(8477).
