COLORADO - TOLERANCE GIVEN ALIENS IS SEEN AS WEAKNESS - STOP CODDLING CRIMINALS!

Illegal Immigrants Disregard Laws without Fear

Colorado is among the most tolerant sanctuary states when it comes to illegal immigration.  In recent years, such “forgiving” policy has resulted in a rash of fatal accidents caused by illegal immigrations, who in a less tolerant state would have been successfully deported long before others had to die.

Here is just one of the painful results of sanctuary state and city policies:

In January 2011, Norma Paola Vera-Nolasco, 31, was arrested at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, as she attempted to flee to Mexico.  Her crime? Vera-Nolasko was driving the truck that hit and killed valet, Jose Medina outside a Denver nightclub on January 22.  Twenty-one year-old Jose Medina was helping a woman exit her car when he was hit with such force that he was thrown 50 feet into the street.

Vera-Nolasco was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, criminal impersonation, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. She was drunk at the time of the accident. In 2008, Vera-Nolasco was arrested in Aurora, CO, for driving without a license, but due to Aurora’s sanctuary policy, she was released without being reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.


Eliu Montes-Garcia, 28, was also arrested by Denver police for his involvement in the accident caused by Vera-Nolasco.  Montes-Garcia, who was in the vehicle with Vera-Nolasco, was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, vehicular homicide, and two counts of accessory to crime.  Montes-Garcia, like Vera-Nolasco, also has a history of arrests for various traffic and drug violations. Unlike his partner in crime however, Montes-Garcia was deported in 2008!

In May 2007, he was arrested in Alamosa County, CO, for felony distribution of dangerous drugs, driving without a license, improper license plates and driving under restraint.

The death of Jose Medina could have been prevented if Colorado had taken one of its many opportunities to adopt anti-illegal immigration legislation to enforce existing federal law.  Instead, Coloradoans lives continue to be endangered by the continued presence and tolerance of criminal illegal immigrants residing within its borders.
