“Graciela Iniguez guesses she has spent $12,000 on traffic tickets and vehicle impound fees since she started driving 20 years ago.”
As a licensed driver she would have spent far more than $12k on car insurance over 20 years.
Sounds like a rational economic decision. Why would the “undocumented” seek to become “documented”? They are far better off undocumented.
Good point.
