Richfield Crash Update

More has been released about the victims and the suspects in the tragic crash that I posted about yesterday.  From WTMJ

The three men in the flatbed truck were not injured. They are brothers from Milwaukee who authorities believe are in this county illegally. The Washington County Sheriff’s Department planned to turn Ricardo, Armando and Javier Guerrero over to federal immigration authorities on Monday or Tuesday.

“That’s pretty disappointing because we know there’s at least one way it could have prevented,” Sheriff Dale Schmidt told TODAY’S TMJ4 reporter Tom Murray. “That is, they shouldn’t have been in that place at that time driving a vehicle,”

Investigators are considering charges or citations against the driver, 38-year-old Ricardo Guerrero. They say he does have a valid Wisconsin driver’s license.

Now, please explain that to me.  How in the world can someone who is in the country illegally have a valid driver’s license?  But I suppose in a state in which you have to show ID to get sinus medication but not to vote, this shouldn’t be a surprise. 

This is ludicrous.  When are we going to stand up and say enough is enough?  The laws in this state are back-asswards.  Not a citizen?  No problem!  Driver’s license and reduced tuition for you!  Wanna vote?  No problem!  No identification needed!  Having sinus issues?  Wait one minute there – need to see identification and type it into the computer so we can make sure you’re not running a meth lab.  For heaven’s sake – when will this madness end?

For an excellent commentary on this, I recommend you listen to this podcast.
