send every death and rape to your representative and senators and tell them that they are responsible for it. They refuse to close the border and protect americans. They could use the resources that they put in earmarks to fund the fence and clost the border. the fence will not stop all illegals but it will stop many and then ICE and the police will be able to find the rest.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An illegal immigrant who killed a man and his 2-year-old son in a drunken driving crash in Nashville has pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide.

Jonathan Narvaez-Pena apologized to the family of his victims in Spanish during Tuesday's hearing in Nashville.

Prosecutors recommended an 8-year prison sentence on each count for a total of 16 years.

Narvaez-Pena was 22 at the time of the crash in October that killed 43-year-old Antoine Bumvu and his young son.

A Metro Police officer testified at a preliminary hearing that Narvaez-Pena admitted he had 10 to 15 drinks before he ran a red light at an intersection.

He has been flagged for deportation proceedings after serving his prison time.

Narvaez-Pena will serve eight years in jail on each count, to be served consecutively, according to the Davidson County District Attorney’s office.

Three days after his arrest, federal immigration authorities placed a hold on Narvaez-Pena after an inquiry by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office led federal authorities to learn that he was an illegal immigrant.
