Two lawmakers aren’t answering questions anymore about whether or not their company hired the illegal alien that caused a terrible car accident in Louisiana that killed 2 American citizens.
Here’s what local reporters are discovering, from WWITV:
A company owned by a St. Tammany Parish constable and an Arkansas state representative hired the bus full of illegal workers that caused a fatal accident on Interstate 10 Sunday, and one of the workers with a particularly bad driving record was at the wheel.
WRS, an Arkansas company registered to three men — including Eddie Schmidt, the elected Ward 4 constable for St. Tammany Parish, and David Wallace, a state legislator from Leachville, Ark. – had a man named Edgar round up potential workers. Wallace told The New Orleans Advocate that WRS hired a bus to take the work crew to a commercial job site in the Baton Rouge area.
This was one report – the lawyer for the two men is saying something different now:
Wallace told the New Orleans Advocate that his company has 300 workers in Louisiana on cleanup contracts. He insisted no one goes to work for him without producing proper documents.
UPDATE: Wallace has stopped talking, deferring questions to a Louisiana lawyer who takes pains to say a “headhunter” rounded up the workers, not Wallace’s company, and that the bus company, not Wallace’s company, hired the unlicensed driver.
Here are the details of the terrible car accident that took the lives of two men:
A grisly crash killed two people, including a fire chief, and injured dozens of others Sunday in St. John the Baptist Parish when a party bus shuttling workers to Baton Rouge for post-flood rebuilding plowed into a fire engine that had stopped at the scene of an earlier wreck on Interstate 10.
The driver of the bus, Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, a Honduran national, was booked on two counts of negligent homicide, negligent injuring, reckless operation and driving without a license.
Amaya, 37, told the authorities he did not have permission to be living in the country, said Trooper Melissa Matey, a State Police spokeswoman.
The crash claimed the lives of Spencer Chauvin, 36, of Gramercy, a district chief with the St. John Fire Services, and 21-year-old Jermaine Starr, of Moss Point, Mississippi, who had been in another vehicle struck by the bus.
This is really an outrage and the two politicians should be forced to answer exactly what their business arrangement was with that bus company. Are we really supposed to believe that someone arranged a long expensive bus ride for 24 illegal aliens not knowing if they would be hired or not? I find that an insult to my intelligence, but apparently their lawyer thinks that’ll shut up the reporters…
