‘My Constituents Have Been Killed’: GOP Senator Pushes DHS To Deport Illegal Immigrant Drivers

Republican Indiana Senator Jim Banks is demanding that the Trump administration deport illegal immigrant drivers responsible for a string of fatal crashes in his state, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Wire.

In the last two months, the lives of four Indiana residents were taken, and eight others were seriously injured in collisions with illegal immigrants behind the wheel of cars and heavy trucks. Banks sent Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a letter on Wednesday, pushing her to deport the illegal immigrant drivers.

The first in the series of crashes occurred five days before Thanksgiving, when an illegal immigrant with a fraudulent green card allegedly killed a 76-year-old man in a hit-and-run in Bluffton, Indiana, according to local reports. The next day, an intoxicated illegal immigrant driver in Owen County allegedly struck the parents of two young children who were on their way to pick up their kids from their grandparents’ house, according to Fox 59.

Days before those collisions, an illegal immigrant from the Republic of Georgia who was given a New York trucking license allegedly caused a multi-car collision that killed an Indiana National Guardsman while behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler.

In October, an illegal immigrant driving a semi-truck collided head-on with a 54-year-old man in Northwest Indiana, who was killed almost instantly, according to Fox 32. The truck driver was using a suspended Illinois Commercial Driver’s License that belonged to a relative.

It was also later revealed that the driver’s trucking companies had received $36,082 in COVID-19 relief loans, according to Fox News.

“These tragedies were entirely preventable,” Banks wrote in the letter. “Every individual who crosses our borders illegally commits a crime. The vast majority of illegal aliens commit further crimes once they are in the United States. Most illegal aliens commit Social Security or document fraud; many steal government benefits, assault our citizens, and terrorize our communities. Many also unlawfully procure driver’s licenses and trucking licenses — or simply drive without them — resulting in fatal accidents. We must deport every one of them.”

“The death of one American caused by an illegal alien is too many. President Biden and President Obama made every state, including Indiana, a border state. I applaud President Trump’s commitment to carrying out the largest deportation operation in American history, and I look forward to continuing to support your efforts in my great state. Hoosiers should not be forced to bear the consequences of open border policies any longer,” he added.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
