A California man is dead thanks to a 6 time deportee who was driving drunk in Santa Ana.
Horta (who was identified in some other reports as Ramon Horta-Jaime) was arrested this week and charged with killing Marcello Bisarello. Police said Horta did not have a valid license and was under the influence when he struck and killed the man in Santa Ana, then fled the scene.
Police caught up with Horta a few blocks later after a witness saw him allegedly flee the scene of the fatal accident. The witness, identified as Cesar Guzman, reportedly chased the suspect down, honking his horn and ultimately using his own vehicle to trap Horta and prevent his escape.
In Horta’s car police allegedly found open beer containers, the OC Register reported.
Unsurprisingly, this was not Horta’s first brush with the law in the United States.
He was convicted in 2001 of possession of a controlled substance and driving on a suspended license, NBC Los Angeles reported, leading to a nine month stint in jail and his first deportation.
But Horta couldn’t seem to stay out of trouble after that initial arrest. He was deported four other times — in 2002, 2006, 2009, and 2012 — the report found, and during that time racked up convictions for drug possession, battery, and a number of other offenses.
Yet another innocent life lost to the reckless Open Borders policy.
