PHOENIX — A Mexican national accused of transporting illegal immigrants after a rollover crash killed 10 of 19 people inside the vehicle has pleaded guilty in a deal with federal prosecutors.

The U.S. attorney's office says Brian Guzman Ochoa (oh-CHOH'-uh) of Hermosillo, Mexico, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of transporting illegal aliens resulting in death.

Under a deal that must be approved by a judge, the government will not seek the death penalty against the 39-year-old.

Authorities say Guzman was driving a sports utility vehicle toward Phoenix on Aug. 7, 2008, when he veered off a highway, killing nine people at the scene and another who died later.

He faces 5 to 34 years in prison under federal guidelines when he's sentenced July 13.

I am getting real tired of us having to spend tax dollars to scrape up the bodies, incarcerate and deport the illegals, not to mention all the cost of medical care, probably paying for their attorneys in immigration court, etc.
Sorry for the rough language, but I am as fed up as I have ever been in my life.
