Thread: Mexican Migrant Killed In Crash and Others Injured

I couldn't find the entire article on the online edition. Why do I have a feeling the dead person's relatives in Mexico will sue?

SW MIAMI-DADE

1 DEAD, SEVERAL HURT IN BUS, VAN COLLISION

A bus carrying migrant workers collided with a much smaller van on a stretch of Krome Avenue on Friday morning, killing one man, leaving a second in grave condition and injuring several others.

Some occupants of the van were flung so far that search dogs and a heat sensor were needed to find them, said Miami-Dade Fire Department Lt. Elkin Sierra.

All told, 43 people were involved in the crash. Some were migrant workers on their way to job sites, according to authorities.

One of the injured, a Mexican national, died Friday afternoon at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

The crash occurred less than a mile south of Okeechobee Road in northwest Miami-Dade. At 6 a.m., the northbound minivan carrying seven people collided with a southbound bus carrying 36 migrant workers.

Four people in the 1998 Ford minivan took were flown to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital; three others were taken to Jackson by private ambulance. No names were released by police.

All the passengers riding in the converted school bus were treated at triage centers set up near the crash. They were then released.

Police said the minivan driver, José Martinez, lost control of the vehicle and spun into oncoming traffic.

They were treated then released. I'm sure the hospital checked the IDs of the individuals and reported the illegals. Oh wait, they can't report them. That would be aiding law enforcement agents in their work. That is not possible. They'd rather aid the criminal invaders.

In the larger article it referred to Florida Highway Patrol as investigating the accident and Lt. Pat Santangelo commented on the accident.

Ok. "Migrant worker" and "Mexican National", does that translate into illegal alien?

That is the pro illegal Miami Herald's politically correct way of saying illegal alien.

The OBLs on both sides of the aisle tried to shove the phrase
UNDOCUMENTED WORKER down our collective throats for several years...........but it didn't work.

Now they're trying every other phrase they can think of to sugar coat the truth.

Won't work........again

It would be nice if the state police would have put these (migrant) workers (Illegal) people up for a couple of hours till some other Great group of people could come and assist them further to the west and a little further south, Home to Good Old Mexico

Let me Guess No one had insurence and no one recived a citation

Is it so hard for the police to get ice on the phone and let them know we have a whole bus load of illegals all rounded up for you, come on over and do your job!!

ICE would have showed up fairly quickly if they were called. The County has had no trouble getting them to show up. Maybe this highway patrol man maybe smart and found out where the migrants work and may notify ICE later. This way the poor banged up illegals will get a temporary break and Highway Patrol won't look bad. They may think they got away with being illegal but then ICE may show up at a later date.

If i go to work for say...... any body and i don’t leave a receipt its undocumented. If I go to work for you and you say...pay me cash, its undocumented……. Any Old American can be Undocumented. Correct me if I’m wrong but these people of which we speak, missed the first documentation.


Illegal criminal Aliens are so far beyond the undocumented status !!!

But they are right on the criminal status.
