Survive Our Collapse Building Self-Reliance in an Uncertain World

Broken System, Shattered Lives
The American people are tired of paying the price for a government that refuses to protect them from repeat offenders. In June 2007, Jesus Bernal, an illegal immigrant with two prior DUI convictions, was drunk behind the wheel again. This time, the consequences were catastrophic. Bernal crashed his car and killed three innocent people, leaving two others with life-changing injuries. Instead of being behind bars or deported after his first or second DUI, Bernal was free to kill.
Families and friends of the victims will never recover from the loss and pain Bernal brought into their lives. Their grief is compounded by the fact that his presence on American roads was not just a fluke or unlucky circumstance. It was the result of a system that failed at every turn to remove a dangerous, repeat criminal before he could destroy more lives. Vehicular manslaughter is a tragedy, but a preventable one when it comes at the hands of someone who should not have been here at all.
America Needs Real Leadership, Not Excuses
This case is not just about one man’s disregard for the law. It is about a government that refuses to draw the line on who is allowed to live, work, and drive in our communities. Bernal had already proven he was a risk. He had multiple convictions, but still managed to stay in the country and get behind the wheel drunk once more. Why? Because our leaders are more interested in protecting their political futures than defending American lives.
How many more times will repeat offenders like Bernal be given another chance? How many more families will have to bury their loved ones before real immigration enforcement becomes a reality instead of a campaign promise? Americans are right to be angry. They are right to demand answers and action.
