In reply to the discussion: undocumented Indian trucker caused deadly accident in Florida... fallout in India and America [View all]MichMan

That's a question that should be asked of Trump and any other elected official that has prioritized deportations.

"It was his bad luck," says his family. The three people he killed had worse luck it seems to me.
