Do U think DUI for illegal should be a deportable offence or do U agree with AZ at 3 DUI’S than deport?

  • Posted on November 3, 2010 at 9:25 am

This may take a minute or two to read please skip this question if reading is hardship for U.Cindy Tracy is not impressed with proposed legislation from Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., that would make a third conviction for driving while intoxicated a deportable offense for an immigrant.

The man accused of killing her 16-year-old daughter, Kelly, in a November car crash in Gilbert had one prior DUI conviction. He admitted to police that he had been in the country illegally for 14 years.

“Three is way too many,” said Tracy, whose 17-year-old son was also injured in the crash near Guadalupe and Sossaman roads as he and Kelly were on their way to the Gilbert Days Parade as part of Highland High School’s marching band.

“You’re just waiting for him to kill someone or lots of someones,” Tracy said. “It doesn’t take much to kill a person in a car. It’s a weapon if you’re a drunk. I think three strikes and you’re out is way too lenient.”

Flake’s bill would make a third conviction for DUI a deportable offense under federal immigration law. It would apply to both legal and illegal immigrants.

Though the most significant impact of the legislation would be on legal immigrants, Flake couched it as an attempt to toughen laws against people in the country illegally in both a news release and an interview with the Tribune.

“People have a hard time understanding, justifiably so, that this doesn’t have immigration consequences and these people keep coming back,” Flake said Wednesday of multiple DUI convictions. “On its face, it needs to be corrected. This is one that people are justifiably very upset about, and it should be dealt with.”

Being in the country illegally is itself a deportable offense, said Vincent Picard of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Phoenix.

However, a Mexican national caught in the country illegally has the option of taking voluntary deportation rather than going through an administrative hearing process. Voluntary deportations do not go on a person’s record. Forced deportations do, and bar that person from legally entering the United States for 10 years, said Picard, stressing he is not familiar with Flake’s proposal.

Psycho Mother — Agree or disagree?

  • Posted on October 25, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Every teen considers his or her parent to be a bit of a psycho. But because I can’t find any old posts that relate, tell me this: are these signs of an extremely abnormal (PSYCHO) level of my mom “caring,” or are they justifiable as normal?

Background info:

I’m almost 18, get good grades, take a lot of extra curricular courses, work three jobs in the summer, don’t attend “parties,” drinking/smoking/”encounters” with the opposite gender are few and far apart occasions, although I tend to miss my ‘curfew’ I always make sure I come home safely if I end up going out late. I try very hard to not raise my voice at my mom. Compared to a lot of people my age, I’d like to think I’m doing pretty well as a teenager.

My sibling, who is almost 19, is the total opposite, piercings and tattoos, parties and men 3 nights a week, never comes home, etc etc. You should know the kind of stereotype.

My mom is a single parent. No boyfriends. No alcoholism (which are the two main characteristics that I’ve been seeing in Yahoo Answers). Very few friends. Never goes out.

Okay. Here is how I am treated:

She criticizes and scorns everything I do…right down to the way I sign my name, speak to others, or even the way I smile.

She cuts off my entire wireless phone account sometimes when I talk to people too late at night (Yep, she tries to force me to sleep at about 11. Flips OUT when I just sit quietly in my room if I’m not tired)

She looks at my phone records to see who I am talking to and when. She calls the numbers she doesn’t recognize.

Two volumes: loud, and earsplitting. I don’t remember the last time I tried to speak to her without her erupting into full out screaming at me. (And really, this isn’t a Yahoo Question where I angrily rant about “Oh I hate my mom she took away my TV rights.” I do very much wish to have a better relationship with her, but all my attempts have ended this way.)

When I come home late or upset her in a similar way, everything in arms reach gets thrown at me, I get pushed around, etc. I try very much to calm her down and reassure her that I’m okay and I’m not going to end up on the street corner (because I’m going to a good school and do well there and have ambitions) but that seems to make it worse.

She’s one of those people who shuts her ears and opens her mouth. I’ve tried talking to her, writing her letters, sending her articles, buying her coffee, having her meet my friends so she knows that I don’t hang out with sketch balls, nothing seems to work. Because I’m her irresponsible, rude, slut drug-addict liar of a daughter. (?)

When I try to talk to her about anything, even the weather, she somehow finds a way to turn it into an opportunity to basically tell me I’m shit and that I am as slimy as my father (who I clearly can not say much about) Really, I don’t know how I have managed to maintain a remotely steady level of confidence.

Anecdote:
I was at a friend’s house watching TV, and around 10 my sister texted me because she got stranded at the train station, which is about a half hour away, because she was on her way home so she would be able to attend my great aunt’s funeral. Naturally, we set out to rescue her, got lost, and took until 2AM to see her back safely. She decided to sleep at my friend’s house because she did not want to deal with my mom’s tantrums. That left me to go home with a story and no sister to show for it. Needless to say, I was a target for a typhoon of flying objects that night. Just because I was trying to make sure my own family got back to town safely.

I never got an apology.

I’m sure there’s a lot more that I forgot to say, but if you’re one of the precious few who has taken the time to read such a long question, can you please analyze the situation for me? I don’t really know what I’m looking for in an answer beyond an opinion. So, psycho, or not?

Do you agree or disagree ( illegal ) Baltazar never intended to steal the car had job worked for cash?

  • Posted on October 8, 2010 at 5:22 pm

A Westmoreland County jury Thursday convicted an illegal Mexican immigrant for the attempted carjacking of a Monroeville woman and her 10-year-old daughter from a Murrsyville parking lot.

The jury deliberated for more than four hours before convicting Noe Tovar Baltazar of one felony count of attempted robbery of a motor vehicle. Baltazar, 24, was accused of getting in the passenger’s seat of a car driven by Rachel Riedel on March 18 in the parking lot of the Village of Murrysville shopping plaza.

Riedel’s daughter fought back, kicking, screaming and elbowing Baltazar in the stomach to get him out of the vehicle. Police found Baltazar minutes later, hiding behind a trash bin.

The defense argued that the prosecution could not prove that Baltazar intended to steal the car.

But Assistant District Attorney Mike Pacek told the jury that Baltazar had no other reason for jumping into the passenger’s seat and grabbing for the keys or steering wheel.

“Nobody knows his intention, but you can only judge his actions. He was waiting for that car to start. Getting in on the passenger’s side is classic action. He could have held that little girl hostage,” Pacek said.

Riedel testified that she jumped from the car to scream for help. She told jurors she feared that Baltazar would force her to drive away and would harm her daughter.

The defense argued that Baltazar was drunk and stumbled into the car without knowing what he was doing. Baltazar testified through a translator that he did not remember the incident because he was intoxicated after drinking as much as a case of beer earlier that day.

“Rachel Riedel was afraid, and her fear caused her to just see something that wasn’t there,” Public Defender Donna McClelland told jurors. “This man was essentially beaten up by a 10-year-old girl. If he wanted to steal the car, would he have been deterred by a 10-year-old girl?”

“There is a bias and a prejudice against Mexicans, maybe some biases, fears and stereotypes of Mr. Baltazar,” McClelland told jurors in her closing.

McClelland was asked whether she thought Baltazar’s nationality was a factor in his conviction. “I certainly hope not,” McClelland said.

Pacek said the prosecution was not predicated on Baltazar’s ethnicity. “We would have prosecuted any defendant just as vigorously,” he said.

Baltazar faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in three months by Judge Al Bell. Pacek said he would seek a sentence of three to six years of imprisonment, the same sentence offered in a plea bargain deal rejected before the trial.

Baltazar has two prior convictions for drunken driving while living in Georgia in 2006, according to Pacek.

Baltazar, who has been in jail since his arrest, will be held in lieu of a $50,000 bond, pending his sentencing.

Since his arrest, a federal detainer has been placed against him over his immigration status.

Baltazar testified that he came to the United States eight years ago, with prior stops in Florida, Georgia and Kentucky. He arrived in Westmoreland County last year to work as a dishwasher for a Delmont-area Chinese restaurant. Baltazar told jurors he was among several illegal immigrants who worked for cash at the restaurant and lived rent-free in the home of the business owner.

DUI-20+ years, DWI-20+years, agree or disagree?

  • Posted on August 14, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I think if you do such things you should be held accountable. They risk the lives of others when they are irresponsible. Is it so hard to not drive or not drink if you know you have to drive home? I think we need to be stiffer on the penalties for these types of people.

A few years ago in my town, a mother and daughter were killed by a drunk driver. This drunk driver happened to be an illegal, but that’s besides the point. He is in jail for a long time now, but does it really have to end badly for people to get penalized for their actions. How about our government make an example out of these people before they kill. The one’s who do it are almost always repeat offenders.

And please, if you are a drunk driver don’t even answer. I don’t want to hear your pathetic excuses for why it’s okay to put lives in danger. It’s usually always the drunk driver that walks away after taking a few lives.
Johnny 2 Times, that’s very different. We should actually go to the German way of things, the autobahn. You can get killed at just about any speed. You make a very bad point.
What about the person who rear ended me? What about the person that flipped me off? What about the person who cut me off? What about the person who side-swiped me? Don’t deviate from the question with off-the-wall stupidity!
And I don’t think drug offenders should be in prison because they do or sell drugs. I think it should be legal because it’s not hurting anyone but themselves until they get on the road. Just like pot or any other drug. Letting users get out would make enough room for these people. Being distracted and being impaired are two different things. Yes, people need to watch what they are doing and stop yapping on the phone and what not. But please, STOP with the weak attempts and trying to refute my thoughts. Very weak some of these reponses are.
And I am a little angry because one of my best friends was almost killed by a drunk driver. The guy is also an illegal so guess who gets the bill? She was in a wheel chair for months and had to learn to walk again. She cannot have children either because of it. Yeah I am a little angry that people, even if they don’t kill anyone, still do it. It will never make sense to me and there is no excuse.
