Despite all the above the local authorities never took actions to have this guy removed from the country.According to court records, Alfredo has a criminal history, all misdemeanors. In October 2006, Ramos was charged with drunk in public. In November 2007, he was charged with driving without a license, identity theft, no seat belt, and no insurance. In January 2007, he was charged with pubic swearing and intoxication.
That is the problem here.
Just by being in this country the guy was breaking the law, but too many people want to ignore that fact. The Virginia Beach police department policy is to only take action against an illegal if they commit a felony, are involved with terrorism or street gangs, or have been involved in the smuggling of other illegals into the country.
For the record I spent nine years of my life in the Virginia Beach area. It's a beautiful place to live and I noticed no problem with illegals while I was there.
I agree with the fact that the guy should have never been in the states to drunk drive. But that is secondary to the fact that he is a repeat offender.
Look at it this way, if we removed ALL illegal aliens, sent them back home...people would still die by drunk drivers....and people would still die by repeat drunk drivers. That is the primary issue. But numnuts like OReilly want to make illegal immigration the primaary issue over drunk driving..and I don't agree with that.
