Illegal Alien Accused in Hit-and-Run
posted 11:25 pm Wed December 12, 2007 - Laurel, Md.
Police arrested 30-year-old Rodolfo Ramirez, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who has a valid Maryland drivers license.
Police said he confessed to be the driver who hit and killed 45-year-old Ruth Storm on November 25th. The Laurel Police chief said if Ramirez had stopped at the scene, he would not have been charged.
Storm was struck and killed in the intersection of 7th Street and Main Street around 12:50 a.m. Sunday. ABC 7/NewsChannel 8 reporter Jay Korff spoke with Storm's family who are very upset that the driver could hit someone with their car and not stop to offer help.
Karen Storm, the victim's cousin, wants to know how an illegal alien has a valid driver's license. "How do you get a license if you are an illegal alien?"
Karen said Ruth Ann was legally blind from a brain tumor. She explained Ruth Ann could still see, but had very poor peripheral vision.
Karen said Ruth Ann was struck while she was walking the few blocks to her cousin's house.
Ruth Ann leaves behind a 15-year-old son.

The key word here is illegal as defined by websters dictionary means not according to or authorized by law. The word immigrant as defined means a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence. I work with immigrants hundreds of them, and I asked them are they going to become US citizens they all shouted NO. I asked them then why did they come to this country, they told me they are going to work as much as they can, and send the money to their families in their native country, and when they have to leave they will go back to their country and retire off of american social security. I said OMG! The definition of foreigner means a person belonging to or owing allegiance to a foreign country. We have the incorrect word for them they are not immigrants they are illegal foreigners. Do the politicians care about real americans?
