President Trump on Tuesday re-upped his call for a crackdown on illegal immigration after police revealed that the man accused of killing Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson in a suspected drunk driving accident is an undocumented immigrant.

Jackson was killed on Sunday when a Ford F-150 struck him and another man on the side of a highway in Indianapolis. According to CNN, Indiana State Police identified the suspect as Manuel Orrego-Savala, a Guatemalan citizen who is in the U.S. illegally.

Orrego-Savala had twice been deported from the U.S. — once in 2007 and again in 2009, CNN reported.

Trump has repeatedly pointed to crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants to bolster his calls for ramping up border security and cracking down on illegal immigration.

1. So the problem is not drunk driving ?

[Freethinker65]

2. Evidently driving drunk is fine if you are in the country legally

[trusty elf]

3. Such an idiot.....

[WhoWoodaKnew]

4. Actually, that argument will play well with a lot of people

[logosoco]

5. And yet...

when American citizens kill American citizens with guns no Republican ever says much about that. Other than "thoughts and prayers".

[Marcuse]

8. And that now is not the time to politicize a tragedy.

[IronLionZion]

6. Crime is so much better when committed by Americans

[christx30]

15. More like:

We have plenty of criminals of our own. We don't need to import them.

[IronLionZion]

17. We need to import educated successful people

since we have plenty of criminals of our own

[christx30]

18. And the guy that killed this NFL player

seems to be neither.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. The disgrace is Donald Trump

[DinahMoeHum]

9. Like he really gives a shit about Edwin Jackson or his family. . .

. . .or his NFL teammates.

[Demit]

10. "Well, at least he was American!" said no crime victim ever.

[Roy Rolling]

11. Fitting end

If Jackson had been taking a knee during the anthem, this would be deliciously ironic. Anybody know?

[SummerSnow]

13. I was looking at images of that day when the Colts took a knee

can't make out if he took a knee

[SummerSnow]

12. He hates black football players, but only 'loves' them

when they are murdered by undocumented immigrants so he can use this young man's murder to promote his racist agenda. Not too long ago 45 and Pence was angry that some of the Colts took a knee. Pence left the Colt's game after players took a knee.Jackson played for the Colt's

[randr]

14. He has already called for a crack down

That makes this one on you Donny.

[Yavin4]

16. So, we have Americans mass killing each other, but that's okay, they're Americans

But it's a huge problem if an undocumented worker kills someone.
