A 20-year-old Grayslake man was charged with a felony and turned over to immigration officials after allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, officials said. Jose Arguelles-Campos, of the 1600 block of North Poplar Avenue, was pulled over on Nov. 27 when an officer saw him drifting over a fog line and going off the roadway near Illinois Highway 45 and Rollins Road, said Grayslake Police Cmdr. Matt McCutcheon. After he was pulled over, the driver apparently, accidentally put the car in reverse rather than park. The car rolled toward the squad car behind it, and the officer had to scramble to back up the vehicle to avoid being hit, McCutcheon said. Arguelles-Campos submitted to a breath test, which determined he was driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.176 – more than twice the legal limit. His drivers license had already been revoked on a previous DUI conviction, leading to the felony aggravated DUI charge, McCutcheon said. He was also charged with driving with a blood-alcohol content over the 0.08 legal limit, driving with a revoked license, illegally transporting alcohol and obstructing justice. Arguelles-Campos was transported to Lake County Jail. According to a jail official, he was turned over to U.S. immigration officials on Dec. 30 http://triblocal.com/grayslake/2010/12/09/20-year-old-man-arrested-for-second-dui-turned-over-to-immigration-officials/ Last week, Cesar Acosta-Castillo, 32, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, after pleading guilty to vehicular homicide in the death of 42-year-old Leah Miller. Denver District Court Judge McGahey called the Mexican national a "time bomb," before giving him the maximum sentence allowed under the law. On Sept. 9, 2009, Acosta-Castillo slammed his truck into a car near Monaco Parkway and 22nd Avenue, but kept driving. He then crashed into another vehicle, driven by Leah Miller who died on the scene. According to prosecutors, his blood alcohol level was .18, more than twice the legal limit. In 2001, Acosta-Castillo was deported back to Mexico, but admits that he crossed back into this country the following year. The illegal alien has a history of drunk driving and was sentenced to two years probation for a DUI in 2000. He was also arrested in 1999 for driving under the influence in Garfield County but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving while ability impaired. He has also been arrested for criminal impersonation, providing false information, driving without a license and theft, according to Garfield County court records. Leah Miller worked as a legal secretary at the Denver law firm of Holme, Roberts and Owen, and volunteered with the Meals on Wheels program. Miller left behind a teenage son, Sheldon who spoke at Acosta-Castillo’s sentencing, telling the judge: “She will never see my graduation... She will never see me have a family.” http://www.examiner.com/immigration-reform-in-national/previously-deported-illegal-alien-sentenced-fatal-dui-crash.

Answer:
"Immigration status doesn't cause you to do this. " Or does it? Why are illegal aliens 5 times more likely to cause a DUI fatality than a US citizen? Immigration status or cultural difference? Also why are these low life scum allowed to stay in the country after the first DUI conviction? Why do the courts wait until they kill someone before they are willing to do anything? We need judges and politicians with brains! Where did we ever get the present bunch of morons from?

"Immigration status doesn't cause you to do this. " -It's just another line added to the list of charges. It highlights the lack of respect illegal immigrants have for the law. "This does not excuse or make it OK for a Citizen to do it." -No one is saying it is, it is also not okay for people to break immigration law because there happen to be SOME US citizens that are criminals, but you say it is. Stupid, hypocrite.
Immigration status doesn't cause you to do this. This is no different than a US Citizen committing the same crime. This does not excuse or make it OK for a Citizen to do it.
Second to none
This is a shame, and we all have sympathy for this terrible loss. The citizenship status of those involved did not make a difference in the results. We need to keep drunks from behind the wheel whether they are citizens or not.

That's a sad story, indeed.

Indeed they do break up families. You see these stories all the time- they kill some mother, father or child while driving under the influence. They are convicted for the same offense multiple times, and still manage to stay in the country (or sneak back in) to do it again. Perhaps if our own Federal government cared enough about the citizens in this country, there would be no illegal aliens killing tax paying mothers like Leah Miller; but no, the Feds are too busy protecting illegals and trying to pass back door amnesty for them.
