Signups by undocumented immigrant drivers may explain 30% boost in organ donations

The California law allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses may have an unexpected benefit for thousands of people waiting for organ transplants statewide.

The California Transplant Donor Network says undocumented immigrants may have caused a 30% spike in the state’s organ and tissue donor registrations so far this year.

The immigrant drivers, many of whom are from Mexico, also could boost numbers of Hispanics on the donor registry who are more likely to match with Hispanics waiting for transplants, the network says.

The blood alcohol content evidently doesn’t matter.

Is that part of the application in English? Perhaps the illegals think they’ll get some free beef & poultry products if they check the box.

Lure them into the Promised Land with the promise of a better life, and then steal their organs?

Sounds like an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Simply stunning. The left wants these criminaliens to stay stateside, even if it’s in component pieces.

In hindsight, it’s the same illegal giving away his/her organs to other illegals in the CA system so it’s all good..

I guess it was helpful that they didn’t speak/understand English!

Here in Mexifornia, there are at least 30 DMV applications in different languages so they knew what they were signing. However, these imbeciles probably thought “organ donor” meant free food so they signed for it..

Very convenient.

How may legal hispanics do you know on the transplant list?

Any guesses as to who gets to pay for hispanic to hispanic organ transplants?

Nevermind...just shut up & keep paying.

Hispanic Lives Matter...

I would hope that the linked article explains what is meant by this.

Are they really trying to say that a person of Hispanic ethnicity who is in need of an organ would be more likely to find a "match-up" amongst people from his own ethnic group than from the general population?

"Thas rassis!"

I was going to make a joke about giving donors of vital organs citizenship, but I suddenly realized that they would all be Democrat voters.

Exactly. How are you going to get their organs when every time they get in an accident they jump out of the car and run off.

I call BS. We are told these are devout Catholic people and Catholics don’t believe in organ donation.
