Any traffic accident is unfortunate and the loss of a car can have serious consequences for most of us, so I certainly can sympathize with Olivia Olivas' situation described in "Crash Toll is Growing," Sunday, Dec. 13.

However, the quote by her mother which closed the editorial disturbed me.

I think we would all prefer for immigrants to enter the US "the right way."

Unfortunately, until we have serious, comprehensive immigration reform there is no "right way" that works for those seeking family reunification or those who are desperately seeking a way to provide for their families, now, as the process often takes years.

I'm sure they, too, would prefer to enter this country with the proper papers rather than risk the dangers of the desert and the uncertainties of living in fear of the authorities.

We can all work for a "right way" that works by insisting our elected officials address comprehensive immigration reform soon.
