Man accused of DUI deported three times already

A man charged with causing the death of a Crystal Lake motorcyclist in a Saturday crash blamed on drunken driving was deported 11 years ago to his native Mexico for a nearly identical crime, but was back in McHenry County just 18 months later committing more offenses, according to court records.

In the almost 10 years since that deportation, Eulalio Haro was convicted of driving under the influence twice, criminal trespassing, public drunkenness, endangering the life of a child and disorderly conduct, and he was deported twice more.

On each occasion he found his way back to northern Illinois.

"This adds to the argument that we need to control our borders," McHenry County State's Attorney Louis Bianchi said Monday. "It confirms it."

Haro, 34, of Woodstock, appeared in court Monday facing charges of reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence stemming from a hit-and-run crash Saturday that claimed the life of a 71-year-old man.

Police said Haro was driving west on Route 14 Saturday afternoon in Woodstock when his car veered into oncoming traffic and struck a motorcycle driven by Dean Knospe of Crystal Lake. Knospe was pronounced dead a short time later.

Haro, police said, sped away from the scene, but was arrested Sunday after an officer found his car at a Woodstock apartment complex. Woodstock police Sgt. Richard Johns said the vehicle, a 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier, had damage consistent with what happened in the collision.

If found guilty of the aggravated DUI charge, Haro could be sentenced to 14 years in prison. He remained in custody Monday at the McHenry County jail on $2 million bond.

It is not the first time the native of Mexico has been behind bars facing allegations he drove drunk and killed someone. In 1993 he pleaded guilty to a reckless homicide charge and later was sentenced to four years in a state prison.

He spent only about 15 months in prison before he was paroled in March 1995 and immediately turned over to federal immigration authorities, who deported him to Mexico.

But he did not stay gone for long.

In September 1996, Harvard police ticketed Haro for driving on a suspended license, the first of several run-ins with the law he would have over the next decade. In 1998 he twice was arrested for driving under the influence, once with a minor riding in his car. He pleaded guilty to both DUIs later that year and was sentenced to six months in jail.

He was convicted of disorderly conduct in 2001 and trespassing in 2004.

Federal authorities again took Haro into custody in January 2005 and returned him to Mexico for the second time. Less than seven months later, federal authorities again detained him - this time in California - and deported him for the third time.

Gail Montenegro, spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Haro's case shows the need for continuing efforts along the borders.

"(Border security) is something we need to continue to strive to achieve," Montenegro said. "Certainly people like Mr. Haro are people we want to focus our efforts on."

First Assistant McHenry County State's Attorney Thomas Carroll said the case could also cause law enforcement and immigration officials to take a closer look at undocumented immigrants arrested for nonviolent offenses - most of whom currently do not face deportation.

"Unfortunately, none of that is going to bring this victim's family relief," Carroll said.

So this is what Bush calls border security, we finally stop illegal aliens from crossing the border by incarcerating them for their crimes AFTER they kill someone. I guess he won't be crossing over illegally for awhile anyway, it's just too bad someone had to die in order for him to be stopped. Thanks, Mr. Presidente. I wonder how long it would take you to secure the border if it was one of your family members that were killed by an illegal?

Illegal guilty of 2nd fatal DUI

A man deported three times for illegally entering the United States could remain here for decades after a McHenry County jury convicted him Thursday of killing a motorcyclist in a 2006 drunken-driving crash.

The guilty verdicts mean Eulalio Haro faces a maximum 28-year prison term that he will have to serve in Illinois before he can again be deported to his native Mexico, authorities said.

Haro, 36, was convicted late Thursday of felony drunken driving, reckless homicide and failing to report a crash after he struck and killed 71-year-old Dean Knospe as Knospe rode his motorcycle in northwest suburban Woodstock.

The convictions mark the second time Haro had been convicted in a fatal drunken-driving crash. He was sentenced to four years in prison after being convicted of reckless homicide in a 1993 crash that killed his brother.

Haro was deported to Mexico in 1995 after serving less than half of his sentence, but he returned twice more, federal authorities said.

He was apprehended and deported both times -- most recently in 2005.

Thursday, Knospe's daughter said she is pleased he faces a hefty prison term for his deadly actions.

"It brings a sense of relief to know he's not going to walk away from this," said Knospe's daughter Barb, who wept in the courtroom as the guilty verdicts were announced.

McHenry County prosecutors Michael Combs and David Johnston said they will seek the maximum sentence for Haro because Dean Knospe's death is the second fatality Haro caused.

"This is the second person he's killed," Combs said. "If anyone deserves the full sentence, he does."

The four-man, eight-woman jury -- which wasn't told of Haro's repeated arrests and deportations -- deliberated for slightly more than two hours before convicting him.

Haro's attorney declined to comment on the verdict.

Unfortunately this will only become much worse as Obama will completely open the border in the interest of cultural exchange, cheap labor, more votes and to hell with Americans. He doesn't care how many more are killed by those with no legal right to be in this country.

After an alien has been legally "removed" from the United States, federal criminal law makes it a felony for that alien to reenter (or be found in) the country without approval of the government.

Penalties for Illegal Reentry

Under relevant federal statutes, an alien who commits illegal reentry as described above will be punished with:

* A fine; or
* Imprisonment for not more than two years; or
* Both fine and imprisonment.

Penalty Enhancements for Prior Criminal Convictions

If the alien reenters or is found in the U.S. without government approval, after a criminal felony conviction for a non-aggravated felony, or after three or more misdemeanor convictions for drug-related crimes or crimes against persons, he or she is subject punishment by:

* A fine; or
* Imprisonment for not more than 10 years; or
* Both fine and imprisonment

For aliens reentering or found in the U.S. without government approval, after a criminal conviction for an aggravated felony, the statutory maximum term of imprisonment is 20 years. Other criminal penalty increases may be imposed for aliens who have been removed after certain kinds of incarceration, and aliens deemed to be associated with terrorism.

another drunk illegal, another dead American

i sau its time that we try to sue everyone who wants open borders.
from george bush, vicente fox, and calderon
and use specific names like

janet murguia, mark potok, enrique morones, and others.
ted kennedy, harry reid, john mc cain, and others

NAME NAMES

granted the lawsuit against US elected officials might be dismissed but its a good way to get their names in the public eye as those who are traitors and not looking out for americas interests

convicted of reckless homicide in a 1993 crash that killed his brother.

If that doesn't stop you from drinking and driving, noting will. This guy will never stop this behavior. It's best that he is locked up.

Nice thought bigtex and yes there are laws. Unfortunately our wide open borders and idiots like Reid and Pelosi encourage and aid crimes like this by allowing illegal aliens to return to the U.S. to inflict more pain and suffering on the American people. Too many are easily able to re-enter the country. I have a desk full of folders with stories like this as the illegal alien deported for weapons and assault charges but easily returned to the US and fired into a crowd celebrating a birthday party critically wounding an 8 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. Another illegal alien deported for molesting a young girl reentered the US and raped a 5 year old girl. An illegal alien with 15 prior offenses including 5 dui's deported numerous times drove drunk again killing a Tennessee couple orphaning their children. I can go on and on as these are only a few instances of innocent Americans vicitimized by those with no legal right to be in this country and a government that doesn't care how many Americans are killed, raped, murdered, molested, whose identities have been stolen and the numerous other crimes committed by them. And the only response by this deadbeat government including the schmucks in Congress and the schmuck in the Oval Office is to stop all raids, other enforcement actions, and further open the borders and reward amnesty, citizenship, heathcare, welfare, foodstamps, education, other benefits and stimulus jobs to those violate our borders, laws, sovereignty and steal our identities while telling suffering Americans to go to hell and fry for all eternity as they care only about separated families who consciously and deliberately violated our borders and laws. This government has been an absolute disgrace to the American people who worked hard and sacrificed including our gallant veterans who sacrificed much protecting, defending and preserving our sovereignty and way of life only for it to be soldout by the turncoats called representatives of the American people for cheap labor, more illegal votes and a more imperfect North American Union.

With constant incentives like this to do the right thing, you have got to wonder how long it will take for America is a lawless 3rd world country like Mexico. They have lawless drug lords and corrupt politicians we have greedy lawless Wall-Street thugs/investment bankers and corrupt politicians. Looks like we are already off to a good start.
