I just want to know why would his wife get into the car with him drunk and why would the wife allow the baby to not be seated properly ? Why didn’t the wife refuse for her and the baby to even get into this car with a guy this drunk ?.. Illegals have a high arrest rate of DWI’S ..In Mexico you drink and drive pay a bribe and you are free to go on your way.Many illegals think the way the laws are in Mexico are the same here.
They should be held in jail until their friends/family coughs up enough money for their plane ticket home, and related expenses to their incarceration.
It is just another demonstration that they have no respect for our laws.
No one, regardless of immigration status, should be doing these things. Sadly though I have known many red blooded Americans who do every single one of these things. I have also called the cops on them for driving with their toddlers not in a car seat, or even in a seat belt.

They just come here for "A better life", yeah right. They come here for "better targets".
NOBODY has a right to do such acts of stupidity, ILLEGAL or LEGAL.
Should a US citizen DRINK AND DRIVE?
Your stupid!! I have seen a lot of americans do worse! What the hell is your point? Who cares if they are illegal or not! Anybody doing this kind of stuff should be put behind bars!
Would it be all right had they not been ilegals ?
