‘It’s horrific’: NC House candidate rips border failures after illegal immigrant charged in child’s death
North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout sounds off on the illegal immigration crisis hitting home after a young girl was killed in a car wreck caused by a previously-deported Mexican national.
A sprawling, 25-county congressional district more than 2,000 miles from the Mexican border was thrust into the national immigration spotlight this month after a 6-year-old girl was killed in a crash allegedly caused by a three-time deported illegal immigrant with a history of driving while intoxicated.
The economy usually dominates politics in North Carolina’s 1st congressional district, which consistently ranks among the nation’s poorest districts by poverty rate. But, that changed after six-year-old Calli Toler was pronounced dead after a wreck allegedly caused when Mexican national Jaime Santiago Corona ran a stop sign west of Vanceboro last week – just a mile from the district line.
