It’s hard to keep illegal aliens out of America, including convicted criminals. America must look totally irresistible from outside when even killers re-enter when they may face serious repercussions if re-arrested.
A recent reminder was the return of Guatemalan Olga Marina Franco del Cid who had been imprisoned for killing four Minnesota children a decade ago.
Guatemalan who killed 4 in 2008 Cottonwood, Minn., bus crash arrested, Star Tribune, November 28, 2019
Sentenced for killing four kids in a school bus crash, she was found living here illegally and jailed by ICE.
A Guatemalan woman who was deported after serving eight years in prison on felony charges stemming from a 2008 fatal crash with a school bus in Cottonwood, Minn., was arrested Tuesday by immigration authorities for illegally re-entering the country.
Olga Marina Franco del Cid, 35, was arrested at her residence in Inver Grove Heights after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers got a tip that she had returned to Minnesota.
Franco del Cid was convicted in October 2008 of four counts of criminal vehicular homicide and 17 counts of criminal vehicular operation, giving a false name to police, failing to stop at the entrance to a thruway, and driving without a valid license. Four students died in the February 2008 crash.
The case drew nationwide attention at the time from people focused on the illegal immigration debate.
Responders at the scene found Franco del Cid behind the steering wheel, her right foot wedged under a crumpled dashboard near the accelerator. Her attorneys argued that her boyfriend was the one driving the van and fled because he didn’t want to be deported to Mexico. They argued that he was thrown out of the van on impact, and Franco del Cid was thrown into the driver’s seat. (Continues)
The case sounded familiar — four Minnesota school kids killed by an illegal alien, but the name of the perp was different and the victims’ names were absent in the current news reports from what I remembered. Here’s my blog about it at the time:
Four Minnesota School Children Killed by Illegal Alien, Vdare.com, February 22, 2008
The terrible bus crash that killed four school kids and injured over a dozen others earlier this week was the fault of an unlicensed illegal alien, Alianiss Nunez Morales. She was driving a van that ran through a stop sign and smashed into the bus. [. . .]
Shown below are the four children killed (clockwise from top left) Hunter Javens, 9, and his brother Jesse Javens, 13, both of Cottonwood; Emilee Olson, 9, of Cottonwood; and Reed Stevens, 12, of Marshall, MN.
It took a bit of Google snooping, but yes, Olga Franco del Cid is also Alianiss Nunez Morales, the convicted killer of four American children.
Perhaps I’m picky, but the news story about her marriage a little over a year after the kids’ deaths was too cheerful even for the sicko conventional press:
Just married: Olga Franco, still in prison for Cottonwood bus crash that killed 4 children, TwinCities.com, July 14, 2009
Jerome Harvieux watched the news last year about a school bus crash in Cottonwood, Minn.
For months, the St. Paul man followed media reports about the four children who died and about Olga Franco, the illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was charged with their deaths.
Harvieux believed Franco was being unfairly targeted — a scapegoat because she was undocumented. [. . .]
Franco, 25, is serving a 12 1/2-year sentence at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Shakopee after being convicted for the Feb. 19, 2008, crash that killed Hunter Javens, 9; his 13-year-old brother, Jesse Javens; Emilee Olson, 9; and Reed Stevens, 12.
So here is love and marriage among the diversity-loving liberal set, where an illegal alien killing four kids is no problema.
Hopefully the Guatemalan criminal will get a long sentence for her repeat illegal entry — perhaps 20 years in federal prison as was mentioned in one report.
