An illegal immigrant who sneaked into the United States from Mexico seven times was driving drunk and speeding down a Nebraska highway when he crashed his van last week, killing a passenger sitting in the back of the vehicle, prosecutors said.
Douglas County prosecutors said in court Tuesday Nemias Garcia-Velasco, 32, was deported in 2009 and 2011 and "voluntarily returned" to Mexico five times in 2005, the Omaha World-Herald reported. He was convicted of making a false claim to U.S. citizenship in 2005.
Garcia-Velasco's bail was set at $2 million. Prosecutor Ryan Lindberg in court on Tuesday requested a high bail for the illegal immigrant because he feared the man might flee the country -- again.
"If this is someone who bonds out, I don’t think we’ll see Mr. Garcia-Velasco again," Lindberg said.

Sanctuary cities/states will not solve this problem, but add to the problem.
Love to see this go Federal and let Trump or his eeeevilll minions fry this clown.
Nothing to do with anything, but this ought to vindicate a few people around here
It looks like the Choom Gang hacked John Roberts.
That "Gang" thing becomes more apt all the time, don't it?

In San Francisco, they'd be hiding his ass and protecting him.
It's part of what the wage hike is for, doubtless.
Allen, someone has heard you.
Trump wants legal immigration cut in half.
So the sanctuary cities' time is ticking.
Find out who hired him and sue their asses off. It's long past time to get tough on businesses that hire illegals

In the old days, this would have been a Dem priority.
They could make this a wedge issue against "Republicans" but they won't because of diversity sentiments. So nothing will happen. If D's in Congress even suggested doing something, R's would cry hypocrisy.
