Father-of-five who advocated rights for migrants is hit and killed by illegal immigrant on probation for a DUI who was ordered to be deported back to El Salvador eight months ago

A staunch supporter of the rights of immigrants – and a married father of five – was killed last week when an illegal immigrant from El Salvador facing deportation crashed into his motorcycle in Colorado. 
Sean Buchanan, 45, was driving northbound on Highway 83 on August 2 when Colorado State Patrol say a southbound truck operated by Miguel Ramirez Valiente went off the side of the road, then over-corrected into the wrong lane and crashed into Buchanan’s bike, killing him. 
Valiente, an undocumented immigrant who was slated for deportation eight months earlier, was charged with misdemeanor careless driving with a revoked license in the deadly accident. 
In an ironic twist, Buchanan was known among friends a passionate advocate for all immigrants. 
Valiente has a criminal record in Colorado that includes a 2018 conviction for a DUI charge, which earned him a year’s probation and the revocation of his license, and a guilty plea to a charge of reckless endangerment in a child neglect case.
He is a Martyr who died for what he believed in: Patron Saint of Sanctimony.

Well, he didn't mind putting other Americans at risk.

8 motorcyclists killed on the roads this summer by migrants who were either illegal or driving as such. The other case being 7 bikers slaughtered in New Hampshire because the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles couldn't be bothered to yank the permit of a Ukrainian stoner before he slammed into them with a flatbed.
