Illegal immigrants ('disfavored minority group') sue Oregon over ballot measure denying licenses
Fox News ^ | 11/30/15 | Robert Shaffer

A group of illegal immigrants is suing the state of Oregon to overturn a voter-approved initiative that denied them driver's licenses.

The lawsuit, brought by five illegal immigrants, comes after Oregonians passed Measure 88 last year with a strong two-thirds majority. Thirty-five of Oregon's 36 counties voted against licenses for undocumented residents, as did every congressional district in the state, most of which are represented by Democrats.

But the lawsuit alleges Measure 88 is unconstitutional because it "arbitrarily" denies driving privileges based on membership in a "disfavored minority group." It alleges Oregon voters were motivated by "animus toward persons from Mexico and Central America."

Gustavo Recarde, who has worked construction and odd jobs in Portland and several states since sneaking into the United States in 1988, said a driver's license would help him feel more comfortable here and open doors.

Unreal.

Nonsense. Illegals don’t have standing to sue.

Arrest the criminal, seize his assets and deport him.

Sorry Gustavo Recarde, it shows Oregon voters were motivated by “animus toward persons from Mexico” or any other country here ILLEGALLY don’t deserve licenses.

I realize your pea brain doesn’t understand “ILLEGAL.”

Re “disfavored minority group”. Well, people who violent the law are in “disfavor” by the majority of law abiding citizens, no matter who they are.

I had a car destroyed by an illegal Mexican who fled the area instead of showing up in court on a drunk/reckless driving charge.

If my then pregnant daughter had been behind the wheel of her/my car that day (it was parked), both she and my granddaughter would have been killed instantly. The driver pushed the engine block into the firewall, which, in turn pushed the steering wheel out to where her stomach would have been.

I would say that illegal, drunk, reckless and criminal aliens are a “disfavored minority group” in a sane world.

Even the leftist state of Oregon, to whom Karl Marx is a hero, says so.

Only James Bond has a “license to kill”, not illegal aliens though they are good at it.

Predicted this many moons ago.

They are now trying to make illegals into a Protected Class.

The illegals didn’t think this up. It’s an ACLU/Rat party/LaRaza initiative.

They already have some standing as “hispanics” to claim preferences. That standing is even used to carve up Congressional districts to guarantee a Mexican politician wins.

We used to have wars over stuff like this.

In Obama's America, they have higher standing than you and I.

Some liberal judge will say that their human rights were being trampled on and they’re entitled to a DL.

Problem solved.

To paraphrase Monty Pythyon, “I point my animus in your general direction.”

In the old days, “disfavored minority group” would generally mean people who are in need of killing.

They can go back to wherever and obtain a drivers license.I would love to see the Motor Vehicle Compact states reject any ID from California.

Hey Gustavo why haven’t you become a citizen. Though it is possible he is more responsible than half the libtards and urban thugs who are citizens.

Bring us your tired your poor and those who want to feel more comfortable breaking the law.

Isn’t it fascinating that news reporters, community agitators, and welfare agencies can find every single illegal in the nation but ICE can’t?

So now illegal aliens get to overturn the voted expressed will of citizens. Wait, what am I saying, that’s been happening.

The only thing missing from that quote is: "Mr. Recarde said through his court-appointed interpreter."

It floors me when illegals have been here for years and years can't speak a lick of English.

I actually know for a fact that they "know" a hell of a lot more than they let on.

Notice when caught for crimes, they always "say through their interpreter".

Like the creep who shot Ms. Steinle.

People who entered the country illegally are seeking relief in a US court. I think this is a chance for the people of Oregon to sue them. Otherwise, they should be deported.
