Bob Clark, director of classic “A Christmas Story”, and his son were killed by a drunk illegal alien on 4/4/2007.
For many Americans, Christmas means something else besides faith, family, food (and presents). It means movies: It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol (pick one), Miracle on 34th Street.
Yesterday I myself watched a modern classic: A Christmas Story, the irreverent adaptation of Jean Shepherd’s memoir of Christmas memories from childhood. Many of our readers also caught this extraordinary film (at least) once yesterday, as the cable network TBS shows it non-stop for 24 hours every year at Christmas.
But I watched with a heavy heart, as I remember that Bob Clark, the prolific director of this film, and his 22-year old son Ariel, were killed on April 4, 2007 – by 24-year old drunk driver Hector Velazquez-Nava, an illegal alien from Mexico. As news reports detailed it at the time:
The crash occurred on Pacific Coast Highway PCH between Sunset Boulevard and Temescal Canyon Road in Pacific Palisades when the GMC Yukon Velazquez-Nava was driving drifted into oncoming traffic and struck the elder Clark’s 1997 Infiniti Q30 head-on. According to the District Attorney’s Office, at the time of the crash, Velazquez-Nava had a blood-alcohol content of .24 percent — three times the legal limit, and he did not have a license.
Velazquez-Nava was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading no contest to two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
And of course, as is so typical in these cases: he had been deported at least twice prior to killing the Clarks.
There is an epidemic of illegal alien crime across this nation. Whether it is the child rapes and assaults we hear about on a weekly basis (but the media does its best to ignore), murders of citizens, police and border agents, to the seemingly endless string of DUI deaths at the hands of illegals – almost all of whom had prior records yet remained in this nation.
In August 2010, Sister Denise Mosier – a Benedictine Nun (yes, just like The Sound of Music) was killed in Maryland by Carlos Montano a drunken illegal from Ecuador. Montano had been arrested two prior times on drunken-driving charges, and had previously been released by federal authorities.
Matthew Denice, 23 was killed by a drunk illegal alien – who had been arrested numerous times prior – just weeks after graduation.
A year later in Milford, Mass., Matthew Denice, 23, was killed when Nicolas Guaman, another illegal immigrant from Ecuador, was driving drunk and hit Denice’s motorcycle, dragging his body a 1/4 mile, trying to flee before being stopped by witnesses. Guaman had been arrested back in 2008 for several offenses, including assault and battery on a police officer, a fire fighter, and an EMT.
According to some estimates, about 13 Americans are slaughtered every day, on average, by drunken illegal aliens. But the Federal government does not currently keep official statistics of how Americans die each year at the hands of illegals. Which is why Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) introduced H.R. 3168, the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2011, which mandates that Federal, state and local authorities keep such stats, or lose Federal law enforcement funds.
So please remember Bob Clark and his son Ariel - and the thousands of other victims of illegals, as the political and media elites try and lead America down the garden path of illegal alien amnesty next year. They will endlessly propagandize about “families” and “fairness” to try and ram blanket amnesty down our throats.
But we the activists will have to redouble our efforts to put the American VICTIMS of illegal invaders front and center – the jobs lost, the hundreds of billions spent, the lives destroyed – and repel this latest shameful attempt to shred the rule of law.
We need to send illegal scum back to where they belong.
Please DON’T SEPERATE FAMILIES,Send them all back!
Please DON’T SEPARATE FAMILIES,Send them all back! THANKS BD! YOU ARE RIGHT! IN 2012 WE DECLARE AND DEMAND CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTICE EVEN IF WE DO IT OURSELVES! DEATH TO THE OUT OF CONTROL FEDERALIST WHO THINK THEY WILL DOMINATE US! WITH OUR OWN MONEY AND COUNTRY! F–K YOU ALL AHEAD OF TIME!
STOP THE TURD INVASION! T errorist U nwelcomed R obber D og’s! leave or starve 4 staying
What a shame and a waste of fine talent was taken during that crash. If they commit a crime, they should be deported IMMEDIATELY and we need some kind of border patrol…gate, etc. to check ID’s against a national registry of who has been deported so they don’t get back in!!! Mexico has the border patrol……why can’t WE?????
I still want that fence built 25 feet high and 10 feet across with hughe nails protruding from it.

i had the same almost happen to me. by an illegal alien
I am amazed that these events are taking place. Having grown up in a patriotic U.S. Military family, I would have never imagined that such things as these would have passed in the U.S. at least not in several hundred years. I guess that this is a reflection of a degenerating globalized economy.
I truly believe that we as American citizens have the civic duty to tell our respective politicians to do as they promised when they made all of their campaign speeches or we’ll have to recall them for incompetence.
If we don’t do something, then alas this will be a never ending series of sad horror stories.
I also believe that illegal criminals should receive the harshest sentences for their crimes that they commit here. All of these cases should be tried as federal crimes under the Homaland Security. Currently, since there isn’t a death sentence in Mexico for a murderer or any other serious criminal, these illegal immigrant criminals, they believe that they’ll receive the same treatment here. I further emphasize that in the case of these wonton cases of vehicular manslaughter that the guilty party should receive a life sentence of hard labour at a military prison such as Guantanamo Bay or Leavenworth Federal Military Prison with no early Parole whatsoever. These are terrorists entering the U.S. They need to be treated for what they are.
All potential immigrants take notice: If you want to come here, do it legally through proper channels or I’m sorry you’ll be treated as the criminal that you truly are when you arrive illegally. Captured for any crime as an illegal immigrant and you’ll live many years breaking rocks as a guest of the uncle Sam’s military .
As a result of this type of policy, I think that after a short time the message would start to penetrate their mindset of these illegals about the U.S. as being a pushover promised land.
I know that this sounds drastic perhaps extremist, but I don’t see any other way of communicating with these people. They must be made to understand that they are not welcomed in the United States, that we don’t want them and we will no longer tolerate their illegal activities and or illegal presence. The U.S. should follow Australia and New Zealand’s immigration policies. Sorry, we no longer are accepting Riff-Raff, we already have enough of our own indigenous problems without importing more. Therefore we only accept people with advanced careers and or money all the rest best of luck somewhere else.
