Illegal Immigrants still on streets after multiple crimes

After reading the article, Suspect in Baskin-Robins crash formally charged, has bail raised to $350,000, I was left awestruck. Francis Hernandez has been an illegal immigrant in America since he was five years old. Hernandez has a long criminal record and no I.D./ Drivers license. On September 4, he crashed into a Baskin Robins in Aurora and killed three people. This issue has raised many concerns and now knowing about his long record, I'm questioning how the authority is enforced in Colorado. Do illegal immigrants get off easier that legal citizens? If an average American had done this, they would be in prison, would they not? How is it that an illegal, who has a criminal record, hasn't gotten deported or at the least persecuted? I can't even find the words to describe how I feel about this issue. There are so many mixed feelings that I can barely even settle on a single thought. I can only settle on one, Francis Hernandez should have been behind bars a long time ago. We, as Americans, talk about all the things we are going to do to stop immigration and deport all of the illegals, but we've barely made any progress. Sure deporting all of the illegals may be a little harsh, but we still haven't done anything to keep out the immigrants that are coming into  our country. It will obviously take a while, but it will also take a lot of effort, which I'm not so sure that Americans are willing to put forth. Hernandez is not the only example of illegal immigrants not getting punished, but I think that his case should be pursued because he came into our country, didn't have to deal with paying taxes, fines, etc., and then he killed three innocent Americans, one of which was a child. Some people don't see the seriousness of this situation. Some people may say, "Oh, just deport him." But no, why should we send him back to Guatemala so he can just go on living his life? He came into our country and committed several crimes, he needs to serve our punishments and follow our rules.
