Should higher bails be set for illegal immigrants involved in crashes that result in serious injuries or death? One state lawmaker says, yes.


State Representative Joe Carr wants to automatically treat illegal immigrants in those situations as flight risks, which will lead to higher bail amounts.


Carr said he is sure the bill will ensure that suspects don't bond out and leave the country and instead force them to face justice for their actions.
