BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A serious car crash involving a local lawmaker and a suspected illegal immigrant is threatening to re-ignite already heated debates about immigration on Beacon Hill, according to police reports obtained by FOX25.

State Rep. Mike Moran of Brighton was rear-ended by a suspected illegal immigrant this week. The suspect was wearing a Mexican costume at the time of the crash where he slammed into Moran at 60 mph.

The suspect, 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a valid license. According the report, when told of the serious charges he would be facing, he just laughed.

But because of action taken by Gov. Deval Patrick, state police were unable to notify immigration authorities that Naranjo might be illegal.

Three years ago, Patrick revoked an order by former governor Mitt Romney which gave state police power to investigate immigration violations.

The governor's aides are defending the measure, saying the department of correction can still persue the violation.

The accident is bound to reverberate at the Statehouse wehere lawmakers just narrowly rejected a bill to crackdown on illegal immigrants.

This could also become an issue in the governor's race because of what Patrick did three years ago.

The suspect, whose blood alcohol content was .25 at the time of the accident according to the police report, is being held on $50,000 cash bail.

Now if more of our fearless leaders got victimized like this they might start to see the light.

I am confused,, if they have his Name, where did they get it from, where did they confirm it,,,and why is he SUSPECTED of being illegal?

I don't see the difference in being hit by ANY drunk on this.

Only those who want to incite something make something out of who the drunk was or what race the drunk was.

Now Now! Race has nothing to do with this. Hell my neighbor has the window of his car smashed out at an intersection and robbed by two Hispanics at knife point but what does that matter now? Want to ask if they are here legally? Prolly not. But do you care? Evidently not.

There would be a SIGNIFICANT drop in crime just getting rid of the trash who does not belong here in the first place.

You toss racism at this issue like a crazy woman throwing cats at people!

What if the man was a drunk Croatian? I would bet money you would not even know one standing in front of you! Seriously, doesn't the man's flippant disregard for the law even mean anything to you?

I wish a drunk illegal alien would run over your dog so you can get it into your head this is not a racist issue. If some drunk illegal alien ran over your dog you would be freaking out so completely that I would not be surprised if you were not out for illegal alien blood afterwords!

Why do you always go to the "victimized" place?

Let me spell this out in simple words for you...

This has nothing to do about race, This is about LAW ENFORCEMENT.

It is arguments like yours with no backing in logic that tie the hands of our cops to do anything about the criminals here! I rob a house full of Black people I am a racist? But if Hispanics from Mexico or El Salvador or wherever come her and Rob a Black person's house it is just a robbery and we can turn a blind eye on it? You use the same tired fallacious comments over and over and over again. If they come here illegally they are breaking the law and need to be dealt with.

Are you seriously that weak about coming up with a logical answer without spewing the same Liberal doctrine and then say "I'm not a liberal?"

The difference is that if he is illeally here he should't have been here in the first place and that accident wouldn't have happened. The point is that

It is not the fact that the person was Hispanic. The fact was he WAS HERE ILLEGALLY AND ALSO SHOWN NO REGARD FOR OUR LAWS! Race has everything to do with this issue because everybody is of some nationality of anther nation and that makes everyone we need to deal with of some kind of race! Even if they were WHITE Canadians or Englishmen they are still ILLEGAL ALIENS! Using racist blinders to interrupt dealing with an issue when RACE really is not an issue but personal feelings that are misgiven.

I also apologize for my statement about your dog getting run over because that was small of me. The thing is until an illegal alien victimizes you you will not know how frustrating the problem has become. Many of them just trash their surroundings. Many of them just don't give a Fuque about anything!

There is no reason why they can't come her legally like SO Many others have. We need to clean our house and getting rid of the Parasites infecting our nation is a GREAT start!

Try this, Does a Tapeworm have a right to exist? Would you live with one inside you?

Now lets up this one more step. What about if you got a heart worm? I have met Mexicans who want to destroy our country and take California back. We got to tolerate them being here? WHY?

I don't see the difference in being hit by ANY drunk on this.

Only those who want to incite something make something out of who the drunk was or what race the drunk was.

Perchance to laugh?

HA HA!

The point could hit you in the face like 2 x 4 and you would still not get it.

So what we have domestic anarchists? Getting rid of the illegal ones first would thin them down a lot now wouldn't it?

You definitely like to see issues like this one through your own brand of Bias. Please, you are using a diversion tactic on me known as Projection. You call me bias when I clearly am not biased except in the idea we need to enforce our laws FAIRLY. If I was biased I would say "Lets hunt down all the illegal Mexicans!" or "Eff the Illegal Haitians!" Nope I never did. I say "EFF THEM ALL! GET THEM ALL OUT OF HERE!"

Also jus soli is under serious attack and has been for a while. It may be close to an end here as you know it. I like the adjusted versions of jus soli MUCH better than a blanket "Just pop em here" law. I looked up the 14th amendment and the language is argued by others as vague. The changes recently to jus soli missed by narrow margins. That may just change sooner than later now!

BTW, things are not looking good for the DNC's little strangle hold on America. Those evil Republicans may take over again! But then how many surveys are saying that these days????

Friends don't let friends vote for IDIOTS!

Obviously you don't see the difference.

If the Government did it's job this accident wouldn't have happened, this dumbass would be behind bars or deported already.

I have a few questions concerning this.

1. Was the person a resident here in the US?
2. Was his license issued by the state he was in or any state he was
residing in?
3. If he was driving with a foreign tag and license, was her caring
American Insurance?
