- A New Jersey Reader Says Immigration Is “Not A Single
Issue”
A Texas Reader Says Mexican Trucks Driven By Mexican Nationals Brought Tragedy To His Hometown
From: Scott Collier (e-mail
him) Here’s an interesting item from my hometown
of McAllen that includes some of VDARE. COM’s least
favorite subjects: illegal immigration,
Mexican trucks driven by Mexican nationals,
NAFTA and
massive lawsuits filed by the family members of the
four people killed that involve fifteen different legal
firms [Lawsuits
Fly in Pharr Bridge Inferno, By Sean Gaffney,
The Monitor, March 19, 2008].
The cast of characters:
 | Autotransporte Cienfuegos
and its driver, Pedro Noriega Perez |
| Ismael Rosas Guevara, a
minivan driver killed in the pile-up. |
| Also killed were Mission
resident Hugo Oswaldo Hinojosa, driver of a pick up
that swerved to avoid the unfolding accident, struck
the far wall and flipped, slid along the barrier
until it hit a light pole and fell off the bridge,
crushing him and his passengers, Daniel Rodriguez
Hernandez and Santiago Paz Gonzalez. |
Rodriguez, Perez, Guevara,
Hinojosa, Hernandez and Paz Gonzales were Mexican
nationals.
Local lawyers say that the case, wherein the trucking
and rig companies, the city where the incident occurred
(Pharr), and the paving company that placed the concrete
barriers on the bridge have all been named in the suits.
Ironically, the city of
Reynosa, Mexico, which shares the bridge with
Texas, from which and to which the two Mexican trucks
were heading, is not mentioned in any legal action.
Collier’s previous
letters about why he left teaching (for good!), why the
Mexican Consulate should “butt out” of Texas’
affairs and why Mexicans are leaving Mexico are
here,
here and
here. | |
