How can contemptible politicians allow the illegal alien catastrophe to continue when such criminals continue to murder defenseless and innocent Americans – angelic, precious children among them - in numbers far greater than the death toll in the Iraq War? Read what the mother of one such victim has to say. Shame on you, Washington!

 

The Tragic, Preventable Death of Alex Tsuji, Age 2:

Murdered by an Illegal Alien

 

By Lyn Tsuji

 

On November 18, 2006, our life as we knew it came suddenly and tragically to an end.

 

I am writing for my son Alex Tsuji, who was born on May 20, 2004 and who died on December 6, 2006. Our car was hit by a drunk driver, Maricio Salazar, if this is his true name. He had a .26 blood alcohol content, three times the legal limit. Mr. Salazar was an illegal immigrant with no insurance or driver’s license. He was drinking and driving when he ran a red light, slammed into our minivan, and put Alex, our 2 ½ year old son, on life support for 19 days. We were shopping for Thanksgiving, and we wanted to buy video games to have an all night video game marathon with the kids. Everyone was very happy that day. Alex picked out his first video game with glee. And he spoke his first complete sentence, “Open for me, mama.”

 

On the first day at the hospital, the doctors said Alex could not be saved. We prayed for a miracle for 19 days; and we fought to undo what Mr. Salazar had done to him. But doctors, in the US and in Japan, my husband’s native country, confirmed our son was not viable. Alex’s spinal cord was completely transected, and he had a severe brain injury. Alex was in a coma and his body could no longer regulate his breathing or any other bodily function; it was a matter of time and how much suffering, we could not know. No doctor or medical technology could be found to save him. In the end, we, his parents, had to name the date and time of Alex’s death.

 

We begged every day for God to make our life whole and right again.

 

Alex is a memory now.

We will never see or hold our son again.

Everyday we miss the sound of his laughter and the mischievous smile on his face, the pitter and patter of his feet, a bit too large for his age.

We miss his joy over a little ladybug or a fluttering butterfly.

We miss his absolute love, his trust that we would keep his little world safe.

A child’s love is given wholeheartedly.

We will never see him grow and become his own person.

We are lonely and the days are long without Alex.

Mr. Salazar has taken away a son and a brother.

 

On that night, the crash should have never happened.

There is no justification.

The laws set in place failed us.

Mr. Salazar broke American laws in how he came to this country.

Mr. Salazar broke American laws in operating a vehicle without a license and without insurance.

He also broke American laws in driving drunk and in killing my child.

His choices devastated and destroyed our family life.

It took away our security.

It destroyed us financially and emotionally.

We will suffer the loss of our son for the rest of our lives.

Our hearts are broken and there is no mending them.

 

Mr. Salazar broke 8 counts of the law. He was charged with vehicular homicide, reckless vehicular homicide, no license, no proof of insurance, violation of traffic control device, criminal simulation (2 counts)—this is in reference to his 2 false identification cards (a false social security card and a false resident card), and aggravated assault.

 

On May 1, 2007, we had a media conference at the Tennessee State Capitol to share our tragedy with the people of Tennessee. We disagreed with the plea bargain that was offered to Mr. Salazar which would make him eligible for parole in less than three years, and we asked the government officials of Tennessee to enforce its laws to prevent this from happening to other families.

 

This tragedy did not just happen. It resulted from a series of choices by Mr. Salazar and by the American government’s failure to enforce its own laws set in place to protect law-abiding citizens. This travesty caused this great tragedy and utter devastation to our family.

 

Everyone in America is a potential victim.

 

On May 8, 2007, Mr. Salazar accepted the plea bargain. We tracked his parole date which is set sometime in 2009. According to the police investigators they did not know Mr. Salazar’s birth name or his birth place; they went by his name on the two forged documents. If we fail to convince the parole board to keep Mr. Salazar in prison, we are sure he will become a ghost to us, and the death of Alex will become nothing more than another grim statistic.

 

My family and I have become victims, first of the American government’s failures, second of Salazar, and now of the legal system which, disgracefully, has made him eligible for parole in less than 3 years after killing a defenseless and innocent two-year-old, our son. Alex never made it to his 3rd birthday.

 

Justice will hold true only if those who break the law have something to lose.

 

But after all is said and done, we – Alex’s family – lose, and with all these failures, the American people are losing as well.

 

And on our weakest days, we have only God to turn to.

 

 

Behind the dim unkown,

Standeth God within the shadow, keeping

Watch above his own

 

--James Russell Lowell
