Illegal immigrant pleads guilty in killing of nun in Va

An illegal immigrant who fatally struck a Benedictine nun while driving drunk was found guilty in Prince William County on Monday of felony murder — a case that sparked outrage in a county at the forefront of debates on local enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Martinelly Montano, who entered the country illegally with his family from Bolivia in 1996, had twice been convicted on drunken-driving charges before the accident. After the second conviction in 2008, he was released by the county into the custody of the Department of Homeland Security and was awaiting a deportation hearing when the crash occurred.

He was caught drunk driving TWICE as an illegal immigrant...and the third time kills a nun..WHY WAS HE HERE.
Now we the taxpayers will have the privledge of paying 100,000 a year to keep this guy imprisoned...thats if he doesnt get a major illness and cost us millions more....what BS

Can't we just deport him rather than put him in prison (and likely support his family while he is in prison)?

Then he doesnt pay at all for killing the nun

1. Our border security is really inadequate, so he would not be permanently out of the country.
2. The fact he is a foreign national should not make him exempt from punishment.

So he should be punished first and then deported.
