The suspect in a spate of bombings that terrorized residents of Austin, Texas, died after detonating an explosive inside his vehicle as a SWAT team approached to apprehend him on the side of a highway, officials said.
Early Wednesday, authorities tracked the suspect — a 24-year-old white man — to a hotel in Round Rock, a city in the Austin metropolitan area, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley told a news conference early Wednesday.
They tracked his vehicle until it pulled over on Interstate 35 and the suspect "detonated a bomb inside the vehicle, knocking one of our SWAT officers back and one of our officers fired on the vehicle as well," Manley said.

Umm.. am I the only seeing that one side is saying _illegal_ immigrants, and the otherside linking to articles that does studies on _legal_ immigrants... they're not the same thing.
In fact one of the article specifically state they didn't have insights on the _illegal_ immigrants sector.
Not that I'm siding with op or anything, just injecting some objectivity here.
