Well lucky you, Señor Perez! There will be no bus ride back to Reynosa this time! Looks like your daring plan worked! And, on top of discovering such a clever way to elude the clutches of ICE, you’re also our Illegal Alien of the Day! Adios, and congratulations, Roberto! Glad you didn’t accidentally take someone with you!
Undocumented immigrant killed when police chase ends with crash
[And how about that title? Interesting choice of words. “Undocumented” and “killed” as opposed to “illegal” and “kills self”. It’s so PC and gentle. You know, it’s just that kind of friendly, helpful attitude that keeps quality Illegals like Roberto coming to the US. Thank you, American journalists!]
