In my local newspaper, The News & Observer, there was an article regarding a collision that killed two NCSU students and a 16 year old teen. Here's an excerpt from the article:

"SANFORD - Two N.C. State University students and a 16-year-old boy were killed in a head-on collision with a drunken driver Friday, according to authorities.

Pastor Sanches, 55, of Sanford was driving west on N.C. 42, nearly five miles east of Sanford, about 5:10 p.m. when he swerved left into the oncoming lane, according to State Trooper K.T. Hll."

This individual, that murdered three of "our" kids was only treated for a broken arm. He is being charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and driving while impared. Interestingly, Mr. Sanchez has been cited before for driving without an operator's license.

I have no way of knowing this guys legal status, because the N&O failed to make a comment regarding his status, but I'd almost bet my last dollar he was an illegal. My first clue was the fact that he had been cited before for driving without a license. Additionally, it is a well known fact that a lot of illegals are living and working in Sanford, N.C. (many work in the poultry industry).

This is of special interest to me because I have a child the attends NCSU. This wholesale murder of our kids has got to stop!! Of course if I find out Mr. Sanchez wasn't illegal, I'll apologize and delete this post. I looked to to no avail for a link to the story.
