If previously deported illegal alien Aaron Santiso had been in Mexico where he belongs, instead of Flat Rock, North Carolina, a little girl would still be alive.

Santiso, an illegal Mexican, killed three-year-old Andi Lynn Blair when he mowed her down with his car, police allege.

But young Andi Lynn is just one of the thousands of victims of illegal-aliens who jump the border, then rape, rob, murder, or otherwise kill Americans.

Dead at tThe Scene, Detainer Filed

The wee Henderson County girl was riding her tricycle in a cul-de-sac when Santiso, police allege, barreled into her, then fled the scene. Deputies told Fox Carolina that the child was dead when paramedics arrived.

Cops charged the illegal Mexican with driving while impaired, felony death by vehicle, and felony hit and run with injury or death.

The border-jumper is in jail. Bond is more than $1 million.

The local ABC affiliate, WLOS, reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer on the 30-year-old Mexican.

The agency also confirmed that he was deported in 2019, the affiliate reported:

State Sen. Chuck Edwards, a Republican representing District 48, said the fatal hit-and-run that led to the death of the young girl could have been avoided. He said his thoughts are with the family.

“I can only imagine the grief that they’re experiencing right now, particularly since it’s obvious that an accident like this could have been prevented had our immigration system been in place and done what it was supposed to do to protect our citizens,” Edwards said….

“I’m not sure how this criminal made it back, but I think it certainly highlights the importance that we need better border security,” said Edwards.

Edwards is backing a bill in the North Carolina Senate that would require sheriff’s departments to cooperate with ICE in deporting illegal aliens.

Unsurprisingly, the county illegal-alien lobbyist warned Edwards against “politicizing” the girl’s death:

I would like to remind him that although the person allegedly who did this is from the Hispanic population, there are many, many cases where the same thing happens and they are from different backgrounds, different religions, different beliefs, different ethnicities. 

Fernandez opposes the bill that would require local law enforcement to help ICE, WLOS reported.

Andi Lynn would have been four on August 26.

Other Victims

If Santiso is convicted, Andi Lynn Blair will join the long and ever-growing list of Americans killed by drunk-driving illegals.

In addition to myriad victims of other crimes, the Federation for American Immigration Reform compiled a short list of those who were killed by a drunk illegal behind the wheel:

  • Conor Dale Holcomb, 22, died when drunk Mexican Eliut Camacho Montoya smashed into him in Ada County, Idaho.
  • Drunk Mexican Ramon Vazquez-Carmona killed Cindy Goulding, a 58-year-old grandmother of 25, in Kansas City, Kansas. Vazquez-Carmona had been previously deported.
  • Drunk Jesus Leal-Corona, from parts unknown, killed 24-year-old Frankie Hensley in Elk Township, N.J., in 2019. Cops had arrested the illegal twice, but he was never deported.
  • Last year in August, Salvadoran Francisco J. Beltran Perez ran a red light and killed Justus M. Taylor, 20, in Chesterfield, Virginia.
  • Drunk Mexican Ivan Robles Navejas killed four members of a pro-law-enforcement motorcycle club in Kerr County, Texas, in July last year. Navejas’ is a particularly egregious case of government malfeasance. “Although his current illegal alien status was confirmed by ICE, Robles Navejas was out on bond and awaiting trial for allegedly striking a man with his truck in 2018, biting the victim’s back and biting off a portion of his ear,” FAIR reported. “He was not deported following that arrest because, according to ICE, he had ‘conditional permanent status’ at the time.”

Those deaths, of course, don’t count the Americans raped, robbed, and murdered by illegals.

As The New American reported in May, the Biden regime is no longer deporting illegal aliens who drive drunk, and will permit more than 8,000 hardened illegal alien criminals to stay in the country.
