But O'Reilly did make it into something it isn't. The guy was drunk, got behind the wheel of a car, and killed someone. Where he came from holds no relevance aside from the fact that he probably should have been deported the first time.
I think the idea of O'Reilly's wrath was the fact that Virginia Beach is a "sanctuary city", that is, the cops do nothing about illegals aliens. They consider it a "federal problem". The main reason why the city doesn't call the feds is because the feds are a "do nothing" bunch. IOW, they don't enforce the law.

It all goes back to our federal government. They are selective on which laws to enforce. Example: They went after the drug smuggler that two border patrol agents shot at for resisting and fleeing arrest. He'd brought 800 pounds of marijauna into the U.S. The feds went hunting for the drug smuggler. Remember, these are the guys that can't find illegal aliens stateside, but don't have a problem finding them in Mexico. They found him, brought him back, gave him immunity (remember, this guy brought in 800# of drugs, resisted arrest and flees) to testify and put two dedicated law enforcement agents behind bars for the next 10-12 years respectively. That isn't the end of the story, but it'll suffice for now.
