Five DUIs, deported twice, but still in Colorado

CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Pedro Reynaldo Tun has been convicted of drunk driving five times and deported twice, but is back in a Colorado jail again.

Tun says he has lived illegally in the U.S. since he was 13.

"I'm here alone and I like to drink," he said through an interpreter in a jailhouse interview with CBS Denver.

In one earlier case in Douglas County, he was charged with vehicular homicide when a passenger in his car was killed during an accident.

Asked about another of his drunk driving convictions, Tun reasoned that, "I wasn't driving drunk, I was just over the limit."

Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler's office recently secured the fifth DUI conviction of Tun and earlier this year, a judge sentenced Tun to the maximum: about 15 and a half years in jail.

But Brauchler estimates with "good time" and other sentencing provisions, Tun could end up serving less than a third of that sentence before he is released, possibly to be deported again.

If that happens, said Brauchler, "Does anybody think he's not coming back? Why would you have any hope of that?"

"If someone wants to come into our country from the southern border they just do," said Brauchler. "There's very little we can do to dissuade or stop them."

"This is a guy who was spreading out his drunk driving all around the metro area," he continued.

During his jailhouse interview, Tun said he paid "coyotes," human smugglers, to help him sneak back into the United States after both deportations.

"One time it was easy, the other time it wasn't," said Tun.

He said he paid the smugglers $8,000 in one case and $5,000 in the second. Asked if it was difficult to cross back into the U.S., the father of four said, "Not really."

Tun said he was aware of President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S.- Mexico border, but said he did not think it would really stop the illegal border crossings.

"No. You know who will benefit is the coyotes because they are going to charge more," he said.

Brauchler said cases like Tun's leave Coloradans angry and fed up. "There's no more patience or forgiveness. People get outraged and they are entitled to get outraged."

He estimates that past jail and prison stretches for Tun, coupled with future incarceration and prosecution costs, will likely mean Colorado taxpayers will spend about $1 million on Tun. Brauchler said cases like this are, "for most Coloradans. an eye opener and shocking."

Just kill the wet back.

Obviously a 8ft tall chain link fence would of changed everything...

Damn if only we had a 8ft chain link fence the world would be suddenly different..

Just drop him off in Chicago and make him wear A BLM Are Fags Tshirt

Drone strikes on the border.

I hate to piss in your snowflakes but no country can keep people out. No country is immune to this reality.

just wait until they sanction employers and landlords

He wont do that because it would actually work, like I've said all along.. On the flip side even though it would work, it would never happen anyway because it would get tied up in court due to it promoting racism.. (ie people would be scared to hire any Hispanics due to fear they were illegal)

Meaning no way to do it short of becoming North Korea and even North Korea has people escaping their lock tight "mined" & guarded boarders..(also people sneak into NK to bring in contraband and they face a death sentence to do it.)

The only way to "really" solve the issue is to make it so illegals have no reason to come here by helping boost south American economies and help them create jobs for their people..

Yes! This is EXACTLY what needs to happen, and Trump will never do it because Trump knows businesses love cheap labor, the business owners are his biggest supporters. Illegal immigrants are the cheapest labor.

Donald Trump hired illegal immigrants to build his new luxury hotel - AMERICAblog News

well the first one was upheld in the supreme court. Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Employer Sanctions Law : NPR take away the money they leave! now there has to be day labor regulation or policing. places like western union need to be hit hard

"The employer sanctions law has been only infrequently used.".... For a reason :2 cents:

I have no issue with a law like that, but on the flip side to make it work you have to expand govt and create a way for employers to "easily" verify the person has the right to work in the US. Also, it would need to be a required check for every person who can not prove citizenship not just Hispanics to avoid racism..

As long as something like that was done, then I'd be 100% in favor of it because this is what I've always said should be done. Also, expanding it to landlords would be fine by me as well.

see the wall could have stopped him.,
just saying.

What about those hundreds of tunnels under the existing wall? We Californians don't fall for Trumps wall bullshit. And this...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh blade you crack me up!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

refried beans!

Yes suddenly it would be rainbows and unicorns if only there was a wall all your whining would be about something else...
