In other words, she snuck into the country and killed Americans just like a terrorist would. In fact this should be called a terrorist hate killing.Quote:

On a local forum here, they're comparing her to former Gov. Janklow's killing of the MN native motorcycle driver. Talking about the costs that will come about both at the end of the State and the Feds. Janklow was at that time a U.S. Rep and had been out on the road on "official duty".
How's that for a play? Comparing Janklow (who I feel got off essentially in the easy chair) to an illegal alien! Definitely he had a McCain style attitude towards illegals but the irony is that it's going to come around to bite the Feds in the rear-end I have a feeling regarding this MN accident.
OK this pooooooooooooooor little illegal didn't do anything wrong.
She stole someones identity.
She lied to investigators about her identity
She was in the country illegally.
She was driving without a license
She was driving without insurance (I'm sure)
AND SHE KILLED FOUR CHILDREN.
Just here for work and doing what ever it takes for her selfish desires which ends up in absolute disaster for three families and more.
Illegal immigration IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME. It goes on and on.
The real Morales may have an uphill climb ahead of her. It'll be interesting how, if ever resolved, her involvement or not in this whole ID scam came about.
Sorry to say it folks and I don't know if there ever has been any mention of it BUT there are many families with Mexican ties who have brought their extended families in to the country simply by using a "borrowed" birth certificate. I was just sickened when I lived in TX about a woman who I heard tell other that she "sold a certified copy of her son's birth certificate" to someone who needed it. I reported this to the local immigration officials. She got out on bond and then skipped Texas. Last I heard she was in the Vegas area so I don't know if she's ever been caught up with or not.
Anyone see the comments from the locals regarding this tragedy? Most are rightfully angry and upset over this total travesty of our laws and how tragedies like this are the result. Listen to what some reconquista idiot is saying:
Mexico Del Norte-
The real illegals here was the bus full of foreign white anglo European immigrants and children and grandchildren of immigrants. Read your history. The rightful owners of the land are the original aboriginal inhabitants of the lands west of the Appalachians, plus the previous owners of the western areas of North America, or Del Norte, until the illegal invasion of Mexico by U.S. forces under President Polk. We rightfully claim status to live here as we please and if you don't like it you can go back to Europe. It WAS our land, it it WILL be ours. We are not leaving.
Mexico Del Norte-
Day by day, little by little, we are making gains, from demanding corporations provide dual language in all commerce (as you can see in food packaging), to establishing our rightful homestead on reclaimed lands you white Europeans never legally owned. All of what you hold west of the Eastern mountain range was obtained through fraud, murder, extortion and such and you are now paying the price.
The real hero today is the brave lady who stands up to the white European oppression by not offering her true name to the illegal occupiers. Under your laws she is innocent, treat her that way. It was an accident. Your racism only screams for retribution. A European would surely be free by now.
More and more we are establishing our selves here in ways you do not understand. Get used to it or LEAVE. NOW.
Mexico Del Norte-
Whatever you think of us we are here to stay, deal with it. PLEASE leave. Take your phony artificial lawns leaching chemical poison into our aquifers, with you. Take your empty Chevrolet Yukons and Hummers, in which you haul not one thing. Take your polluting white-man corporations, Taco Bells (another white man invention). Take your trophy wives with their chemical bleach blonde hair. They are horrible uptight ugly bitches (yes we know how they really look). Take your rotting rat and roach infested cities of Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and Kansas City. Take your former slaves with you. Take your mistreatment of other peoples, the land, the water and the air. You do not belong here anymore. Get OUT NOW gringo!
Mexico Del Norte-
You apparently have never heard of the term Mestizo, have you, Jorge? Do you know what that is? We are a Latin race and culture unlike anything in Europe. We are half Indian, do you need further education about the matter, JORGE, or George, since you seem to be a sell-out to the White Corporate entity. Do you know what "Del Norte" is? It is the homeland of the northern Latin civilization, and it is rightfully ours, war or not. The simple fact is, and you cannot dispute this: we are taking it over bit by bit until the lazy white people are vastly outnumbered. We will restore our language and culture on our land which extends to the border of Canada. It's only a matter of time. It is a fact, get used to it. Go to Canada if you do not like it.

Please fax and/or e-mail all the articles and comments regarding this awful tragedy to the Guatemalan Consulate in Chicago (that covers Guat's in Minnesota) ...it's time they realize that Americans are fed up with the antics of their illegal squatters and criminals. How many more Americans have to die at the hands of illegal aliens like this woman? The Guatemalan Consulate should be offering an apology for assisting illegal aliens like this woman in continuing to jeopardize the safety, health and welfare of our citizens.

Immigration officials identify van driver in fatal bus crash
West Central Tribune - 02/26/2008
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The van driver who authorities said gave them a fake name following a fatal bus crash has been identified as a 24-year-old woman from Guatemala, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Monday.
Olga Marina Franco was the woman who allegedly ran a stop sign, hitting a school bus in a crash that killed four children near the town of Cottonwood, authorities said. Franco had told authorities she was 23-year-old Alianiss Nunez Morales and that she was from Mexico.
Lyon County Attorney Richard Maes on Friday charged the woman with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide, driving without a license and a stop sign violation.
ICE has filed paperwork to keep Franco in custody after the criminal case is resolved, saying it has developed probable cause that she is an illegal immigrant. Franco’s fingerprints didn’t show up in its database, indicating she had no prior contact with U.S. immigration authorities, the agency said in a written statement.
ICE officials said they planned to assist the Minnesota State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies in investigating the circumstances of the crash.
Attorney Manuel Guerrero, who represented the woman on Friday in court, did not immediately return a call Monday. The woman had told authorities through an interpreter she stopped at the stop sign on County Road 24 and that when she took off, the bus hit her.
Also Monday, the two brothers killed in the crash were remembered at their joint funeral service. The funeral for Jesse Javens, 13, and Hunter Javens, 9, was held at Lakeview School in Cottonwood, where classes had been canceled.
Hunter Javens would have celebrated his 10th birthday Monday, and the roughly 1,400 mourners at the funeral sang the Happy Birthday song to his twin sister Sasha, according to a report in the Marshall Independent.
“Hunter would want to celebrate his twin sister’s birthday. Jesse would want to celebrate his little sister’s birthday,â€
This is sooooooooooo tragic.
Any word on the injured kids?

Thanks for keeping the updates on the story - especially to Safari and Skip and to all others posting and making some very good points.
I have a rather 'heated' letter to the Consular Office in Chicago (using the contact info provided by legalatina) and I'll post it back here somewhere when it is completely polished and ready to roll.
Chosen: if you're around and paying attention to this, I'd recommend your video friend study this one and consider documenting this one closely. It really does represent a rather classic but unfortunate case of why every possible assumption and chance to prevent the tragedy just was cast into the wind so to speak.
We have the boyfriend's name it appear (whether it's a fake name too is another issue):

The woman charged with causing the fatal school bus crash in southwestern Minnesota was pulled over by police a month before the accident on the same highway. Minnesota Public Radio reports the woman was riding in what appears to have been the same minivan involved in last week's bus crash. MPR says her boyfriend, who was driving the van when the couple was pulled over last month, was ticketed for driving without a license.
A Kandiyohi County deputy pulled over the Plymouth Voyager after noting the license plate wasn't easily visible. The driver, Samuel Rivera Melendez, had a learner's permit but not a license. His girlfriend told the officer she had no state ID card or driver's license. Melendez would later pay $187 in fines.
The woman identified herself as Alianiss Morales. She has since been identified as Olga Marina Franco, a 24-year-old from Guatemala who was living in the town of Minneota.

Bachmann writes to ICE regarding Cottonwood bus crash suspect
WILLMAR, Minn. (AP) U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann has written to U.S. immigration officials to determine how an illegal immmigrant allegedly was able to cause last week's fatal school bus crash in Cottonwood.
Bachmann asks the assistant secretary of Homeland Security in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Julie Myers, how federal and local law enforcement can ensure such a thing never happens again.
Bachmann also raises questions with ICE about the suspect, Olga Martinez Franco, who had gone by the alias Alianiss Morales. A woman using that name was ticketed for driving without a license in Montevideo in 2006.
Bachmann says she wants to know what measures ICE has in place to "foster greater cooperation with local law enforcement authorities." ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok says the agency responds directly to members of Congress when they make inquiries.
He says ICE works closely with law enforcement agencies on every level. But he says ICE routinely is not notified by local law enforcement when traffic tickets are issued to suspected illegal aliens.
He says the incident in Cottonwood is tragic, and ICE continues to work with law enforcement agencies to help minimize the possibility of future incidents.

7th grade footballers in Cottonwood lose two teammates in crash
Associated Press - February 26, 2008 2:34 AM ET
COTTONWOOD, Minn. (AP) - Members of the Lakeview Public School's seventh-grade football team have had to learn to rely on each other more than usual the last few days.
Two members of the team were among the four Lakeview students killed last week in that fatal bus crash near Cottonwood. Jesse Javens and Reed Stevens both played on the team.
Coach Ray Pederson says the team sat together at yesterday's funeral for Jesse Javens and his brother Hunter. The coach says the players comforted 1 of their teammates when he broke down during the service.
The players wore their jerseys to yesterday's funeral and plan to again for Stevens' funeral on Thursday.

Our Open-Borders Politicians Have More Children's Blood On Their Hands
By Dave Gibson on Feb 27, 08
The school bus crash in Cottonwood, Minnesota last week in which four children were killed was caused by a 23 year old illegal alien who ran a stop sign. These children are only the latest victims of the ongoing invasion of this country, an invasion which is being encouraged by our corrupt Congress and White House.
This past Tuesday morning, Mexican national Alianiss Nunez Morales went sailing past a stop sign on County Road 24, and right into a school bus carrying 28 Lakeview School students. The bus flipped over on its side, injuring several children and killing four.
The children who were killed in the crash were: Emilee Olson, 9; Hunter Javens, 9; Jesse Javens, 13; and Reed Stevens, 12. Four children were hospitalized at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Another child was transported to the Mayo Clinic.
Morales was arrested and charged with four counts of vehicular homicide as well as several misdemeanors. Apparently, the illegal alien was not even licensed to drive in Mexico. Lt. Mark Peterson of the Minnesota State Patrol told reporters: “She (Morales) doesn’t have a drivers’ license anywhere that we’re aware of.â€
I just called both of my senators to express how they hold their share of the responsibility for this tragedy and to let the one up for re-election this year know that I will be voting against him. His staffer called me by my name without me having identified myself. I pointed out that they must have caller ID there and he said no, that they were familiar with my number. I went on to tell him that this does not intimidate me and that I shall continue to do my civic duty by voicing my opinions and thoughts to the people who are supposed to represent me. But the fact that they know me by name, I will wear that as a badge of honor. They know me only because I have called and made their day long so many times for their lack of representing me. Now if only I could wake up more people in this area to do the same thing.(All over the country really) That's a tall order though. It seems that some of my fellow citizens will wake up only when they are being loaded onto cattle cars, If then.
Unlike politicians, however, when I go into the voting booth, I will not break my promise to vote against him even if there's only a billy goat running against him. The billy goat will get at least one vote. I hate to be bitter but this has gone far enough. He introduced the SAVE act and all the while voted to gut the Secure Fence Law of 2006. This tells me that his introducing the Save Act is just smoke and mirrors. A way to feather his hat in order to convince the sheeple to re-elect him.
Many people across this country will agree that we need to clean house in Congress and in the Senate this year, but it " should be someone else's conressman or senator, not mine." In fact there are indeed some good ones who represent the people and I don't advocate throwing them out, but some of them are fence sitters who would have voted for amnesty if they hadn't been up for re-election this year. I for one am not afflicted with "NOT MINE" syndrome.

Just got off the phone with a staffer in her DC office (forget his name offhand). Anyway, had a nice and sincere discussion about the 'accident' there and Rep. Bachmann's comments in the above news report. I gave the staffer a quick description of the 287g program and a link to the ICE website which outlines the program in detail. I then talked about our experience in OR regarding DLs/IAs and related issues. He received the information politely and constructively. See what happens...Quote:

Licenciado Gustavo A. López Calderón
General Consul, Government of Guatemala
Dear Mr. Consul General,
I am writing regarding the terrible accident involving Guatemalan national Olga Marina Franco within the past week in Cottonwood Minnesota.
The patience of most Americans is already hard pressed in allowing illegal immigrants entry and de facto safe harbor in our country. However, Americans are absolutely incensed when those same people commit crimes and injure or even kill here. I believe you have some explaining to do.
The families whose children were killed or badly injured deserve the opportunity to ask (and expect timely answers to) the following important questions:
1. Have you or a representative of the consular staff contacted the families of those Americans killed and injured?
2. What compensation will the Government of Guatemala provide to the families of those that were killed or injured?
3. What are you doing to educate Guatemalan nationals that are living in the area (without authorization - eg. illegally) as to the importance of otherwise abiding by all US and applicable state laws?
4. What is the Government of Guatemala doing to raise awareness (in Guatemala) of the legal issues associated with illegal entry into the United States?
5. Do you think it is a satisfactory policy to casually ignore and tacitly encourage the export Guatemala's poor to the US - despite the vast cultural, economic, linguistic and educational differences between our countries? (Despite assumptions to the contrary, we do have our own poor here as well)
6. Most importantly, where is the justice for the four innocent children on their way to school that day? They broke no law, they followed the rules required of them. I would even be willing to guess that they would look favorably upon the possibility of striking up a friendship with a Guatemalan chosen at random. What will you do to ensure justice is done for them?
In closing, I would like to remind you that this is not the first high-profile incident of a Guatemalan involved in killing innocent Americans. Does the name Luis Alonso Martinez-Flores mean anything to you? I would be willing to bet that most of the families of the 184 Americans murdered at the Pentagon on 9/11/01 know it by heart. Yes, I know that you know who he is.
I eagerly await your response.
Sincerely,
<PhredE>

Good going Phred, excellent letter.
RE: WILLMAR, MINNESOTA: THE IMMIGRANT CONNECTION
From what I am finding on the Internet, I think the towns of Willmar and Cottonwood, want the Illegal Aliens there.
I base that on a thread I started and everywhere you look you find the buzzwords like, Diversity, cultural, hard working, and provide our family with an excellent quality of life, provides us with great jobs, and a diverse, creative, and a motivated work force (from the turkey plucking factory). Then you have the "Multicultural Market", which sort of reminds me of the farmer's market or Olvera Street.
I have a list of about 200 businesses and social assistance centers that cater to Hispanics, just in Minnesota
It is kind of difficult to tell if they embrace the influx of illegal aliens or they are against it.
Just my thoughts.

legalatina, MD: Hey, thanks. It was one that needed to be written and sent to the consular people. They are a huge part of this problem in outright aiding and abetting, and, on top of that, I felt better in the process too..
Also, in case the name (Luis Alonso Martinez-Flores) you don't recognize, he is the Guatemalan IA that sold a couple of the 9/11 hijackers fake docs which were used to get 'legal' IDs which were used to board 2 of the jets used in the attack. :twisted: (The Hot Air 'Connect the Dots' vid shows all this most effectively)
I just saw REpresentative Michelle Bachman talking about this awful case on the O'Reilly Factor....he sure was fired up about it....
I will contact her office tomorrow and and ask her to also send a LETTER to the Guatemalan Consulate demanding that they immediately cease and desist any activities that aid/abet/harbor/encourage illegal alien Guatemalans to continue to reside, work or commit crimes in the state of Minnesota, including the issuance of the phony-baloney Matricula Consular cards. I think the state of Minnesota should pass a law that says it officially doesn't recognize any consular cards issued to illegal aliens by any foreign consulate in its state or any other state in the United States.
legalatina - ah, good idea.
I caught that interview also (I normally don't watch O'Reilly these days, but just caught it when flipping through the news channels - honest!) anyway, it was mentioned in the news story about her that the theme of her communications with ICE will be basically 'How can "we" work together to ensure that such things never happen again in MN'? - Which seemed to me to be begging for a pointer to 287g. So, I called her office and just mentioned it and provided the ICE link. I think if you reinforce the 287g idea and provide some other references or sources about it, it may be the spark which begins to get MN going on enforcement (way too overdue to be sure.... :roll:)
Oh, forgot to add: She did a really nice job in the interview. Much substance, much class.
http://bachmann.house.gov/Biography/
Anyone that opens up their home for 23 kids - foster or not - has to be pretty darn good! :D :wink:
Absolutely an awesome letter.
For the sake of these poor children and their families we must get even more active.
Thanks fedup, that's exactly motivation here too.
Oh, BTW, I STILL have not heard any word about the toxicology report from LE on the perp either - anybody else heard any results?
Nope and I've been following the local news sources closely. After they disclosed the other two drivers, it's highly suspicious they don't release hers. I don't know if it will have something to do with the court date because they are not releasing any names of the victims either so the families can be interviewed by the media (other then the ones who died). Only said it's a part of the investigative process.Quote:
Oh, BTW, I STILL have not heard any word about the toxicology report from LE on the perp either - anybody else heard any results?
I'll bet once they can open up, they really do!
Have come into this one after an absence from the real world due to family (all of us) having this flu thing (the one that the flu shot would do nothing for, or as people like myself feel, the worthless system of forced "vaccinations" that are mainly useless).
So, I am now beginning to understand the scope of what has happened, and that here again, another illegal alien, not only here illegally, driving illegally, as well as highly inexperienced, and with no understanding of our language, thus her apparent inability to read "STOP", or a speed sign. Now four chlidren are dead, and will never again get to grace their parents lives with their smiles, all because an illegal alien was not only ALLOWED through our porous borders, but enabled by lord knows how many agencies and employers.
I agree with you all. Oh so many people, all the way up to state gov needs to be sued beyond belief. This woman should have been shipped back the moment she was found here illegally for the first time, then there would still be these four children, alive.
It is late, I am still ailing somewhat, need to take something for my nose and try to absorb this. I hope and pray for justice for these families, I also pray they can make it through this troubled time.

Past on-the-road incidents surround van driver
By Rae Kruger
MARSHALL — The woman charged with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide in the Feb. 19 Lakeview School bus crash was apparently involved in a driving-without-a-license incident in which a man was cited in Kandiyohi County in January, the West Central Tribune reported Wednesday.
The Kandiyohi County incident would be at least the second driving- without-a-license incident connected to the woman since 2006.
In January, the woman, now identified by federal immigration authorities as Olga Marina Franco, was a passenger in a 1998 van, when the driver, Samuel Melendez, 28, was stopped by a Kandiyohi County Deputy, the Tribune said. The van is believed to be the same one she was driving in the Feb. 19 school bus crash near the intersection of Lyon County Road 24 and Minnesota Highway 23 near Cottonwood.
In January, Melendez was cited for driving without a license, and the passenger, who identified herself as Alianiss N. Morales, said she also did not have a license, the Tribune said. Morales is the alias Franco gave to authorities after the Lakeview crash.
The pair said they were returning to work from Cottonwood and they lived in Willmar, the Tribune said.
Melendez paid a $187 fine for driving without a license in Kandiyohi County Court on Feb. 1, the Tribune said.
The complaint filed in Lyon County District Court lists a Samuel Rivera Melendez as Franco’s boyfriend.
The Lyon County Court complaint said a Minnesota State Trooper used an identification card photograph to positively identify Franco as the Alianiss Nunez Morales, 23, of Montevideo, who was cited for driving without a license in Montevideo on May 25, 2006. Morales paid a fine on the charge, court records said.
Montevideo Police Chief Adam Christopher and Marshall Director of Public Safety Rob Yant said it’s not unusual for a driver cited for driving without a license to pay a fine, even if the person may be an illegal alien.
“In the past when we have had small numbers of illegals (arrested) we’ve contacted the then-INS and now (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). ICE wasn’t willing to send someone from Sioux Falls, S.D., or Minneapolis,â€
UPDATES!!!
1. The two remaining hospitalized children may be released this weekend
from the hospital.
2. The ABC affiliate KSTP out of Mpls/St. Paul states that Olga Marina Franco
aka Morales WILL BE FACING ADDITIONAL CHARGES and that information
may come as early as tomorrow.
Is this not I.D. Theft? That is a federal law. 10 months to pay, I got my one and only ticket in 1972 in Florida and had to pay at court time or go to jail. The ticket was for speeding. Times have changedQuote:
The man was also using an alias and had an employment card with the name of his alias, court documents said.
The man pleaded guilty to charges of no Minnesota driver’s license, and giving a false name and date of birth to police, court documents said.
The court ordered the man to pay $332 in a fine and other fees within 10 months and he was released, documents said.
Thanks for the update safari. I'm glad we have someone all over the story there in the general area (that always helps a lot in tracking these types of events) :D
My guess for the additional charges might include:
>> Identify theft / document fraud / illegal use of official doc.
>> Providing false information
>> DUI (? - still waiting for those toxicology results...)
+ Immigration-related charges (?)
BigLake13, isn't that amazing...Americans commit a crime, and they throw the book at them, and illegal aliens commit a string of crimes, get caught yet they let them off scott free with a little fine....
What a crock!!
I hope they nail this woman. At this point, I don't care if we have to foot that bill for her life, she should not see the free side of a penitentiary fence till she is going to her own funeral ages down the road. She took four innocent lives with her wanton callousness, all for her own financial benefit when she entered this country illegally and drove around not knowing our language and not knowing our laws and ways. She KNEW what she was doing was wrong and yet she continued to.
As for all the people who aided her, those who stopped her and let her drive away, the county and state people who allowed this to go on, ICE who never actively sought her out, and the governor of that state who allows illegals to be sheltered, all should be convicted, sued and never allowed to hold public office again.
We heard about this in Dallas and that she was illegal on the news. I was shocked that the liberal press actually mentioned this on the news. Last week, the same thing happened here in the metroplex. A drunken illegal hit a girl head on and killed her. She was a teenager and he had no business even being in the country. Very, very little coverage on the story though.
