According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), “El Salvador remains unable, temporarily, to handle adequately the return of its nationals,” due to two earthquakes ten years ago in 2001. But this was enough justification in Obama’s holier-than-thou opinion to quietly extend the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) originally granted to 217,000 illegal immigrants from El Salvador.

The original TPS was issued by the Bush administration in March 2001 following the earthquakes in January and February of that year.  On the “bright” side, one quarter of Salvadoran families can continue relying on remittances from their relatives living and working illegally in our country, who sent home roughly $3.5 billion back home in 2010 alone (accounting for one-seventh of El Salvador’s total GDP).

Juan Diego Martinez, 26, has been charged with DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, driving without a license causing death, two counts of DUI resulting in personal injury and four counts of DUI causing property damage. Martinez, a Mexican national in the country illegally, is currently being held without bail in the Palm Beach County Jail in West Palm Beach, Florida, after he was arrested just after midnight this past Sunday.

Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies arrested Martinez after he allegedly lost control of his vehicle and hit three pedestrians before crashing into two parked cars outside the El Toro Loco nightclub. Two of the pedestrians were pinned under his car – one died at the scene and the other was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The third man sustained only minor injuries.

Martinez has reportedly admitted to being intoxicated and smoking marijuana before the deadly crash.
