Bob Clark's DUI Killer, Illegal Immigrant, Will Be Deported to Mexico
Filed under: Classics, Horror, Newsstand, Obits
On Wednesday, we brought you the sad news that filmmaker Bob Clark, known for directing such films as A Christmas Story and Porky's, was killed along with his 22-year-old son on the Pacific Coast Highway in a collision with a DUI driver. As is often the case, the drunk driver escaped the wreck with only minor injuries. Today there's an update on the situation -- IESB is reporting that the driver, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant without a license named Hector Velazquez-Nava, has had an immigration hold put on him by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which means that once his legal proceedings are complete, he'll be placed directly into deportation proceedings. Velazquez-Nava was charged with vehicular manslaughter and investigation of DUI. If he posts, he'll be taken into federal custody.
Clark was, of course, best known for directing the perennial holiday classic A Christmas Story, an adaptation of Jean Shepherd's memoir of Christmas memories from childhood, but was also well known among horror fans for films such as Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, Dead of Night, and the recently remade Black Christmas. He is also generally credited with launching the career of actress Kim Cattrall and had several projects in the pipeline at the time of his death. Here's hoping that whatever country Velazquez-Nava ends up in, the authorities are able to keep him behind bars forever.

Every crime committed by an illegal alien is 100% preventable if our borders had been secured on 9/12/01 and our laws were enforced. We have enough of our own home-grown drunk drivers who have a reckless and callous disregard for human life, the last thing we need to do is accept, retain or import illegal aliens that do the same. Every person or business who hires illegal immigrants places the safety, health and welfare of their family, their neighbors and their community at risk. It's time to stop this madness. Secure the borders. Build the fence. Enforce the law. Report and deport. It's that simple. Just say no...to amnesty. Si se puede!

This more about a person being drunk without not a person being illegal. The guy deserves what it coming to him and he killed a very good director and also (according to people in Cinematical) a good person. But that Nazi crap that you just spew is ridiculous. So.. ¡Callate la boca!

Legallatina isn't a "Nazi", she's 100 percent correct. Every American slaughtered by an illegal alien criminal or drunk driver died unnecessarily. If the killers were not in this country, the crimes would not have taken place. What is so difficult for you (and Geraldo Rivera) to understand about that? Visit www.illegalaliensrunningamuck.blogspot.com for hundreds of accounts of Americans dying cruel, unnecessary deaths at the hands of lawless illegals.

Our President and some Congressmen believe that Amnesty is the solution to the problem. Stop Amnesty! It hasn't worked in the past.
ALIPAC is calling on all of our civilian activists, allied leaders and organizations, and media contacts to engage in these efforts.
Our goals are to 1. Get as many people as possible to go to Washington, DC (April 22-26) and into the offices of members of the US Congress and Senate to lobby against Guest Worker Amnesty, 2. To get as many people that cannot be in DC on the phones to reinforce our efforts, and 3. To schedule as many office and event visits as possible in the districts to send a clear message.
For success in blocking Scamnesty, we will need everyone to work on their own and together as a team as much as possible.
We will need a clear message. The message is that any legislation that gives any legalized status or that allows illegal aliens to stay in the US or leave for short periods of time before returning "touchback" is Amnesty. The only thing that will stop and reverse illegal immigration is for illegal aliens to return to their own nations, with a story for their neighbors about how their ill gotten gains in America did not pan out.
A more complete description of how we can deport with attrition and compel millions of illegal aliens to leave on their own accord is detailed in our platform document "How To Reverse Illegal Immigration In America" found at http://www.alipac.us/article1111-thread-1-0.html
