"Christmas Story" Director and Illegal Alien

It is purported that a young adult Mexican national, caused a traffic accident wherein Bob Clark (director of "A Christmas Story") and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark were killed. The Mexican was driving a SUV, without a license and purportedly under the influence of alcohol, and of course, received only minor injuries. I suppose that California actually charged the Mexican with vehicular manslaughter. Perhaps they will prosecute only the DUI.

The good news? Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, reports that the Mexican will be turned over to our federal immigration officials after the proceedings in Los Angeles are completed.

The bad news? Probably, INS will not do anything this this guy other than put him back on the street. This is, after all, his first traffic violation, and has no priors other than soliciting a prostitute.

Of course, the only real significance to this story is that it happened on beautiful Pacific Coast Highway and that two innocent lives were lost at the hands of an illegal immigrant driving with no license. No story here, I suppose.
