Expectant mom dies in collision on Easter Sunday

I personally do not know how traumatic the Hispanics injuries were.

You don't know they were Mexican or illegal either.

Good morning.

I tend to swear in the language of the person I'm swearing at. It eliminates confusion and speeds up the process of bringing things to a conclusion.

Because if the borders were secure and those two were in Mexico on Sunday where they belong, a young woman expecting her first baby would still be alive.

You keep saying that. That it is a logical imponderability is obviously lost on you.

If she'd dropped her keys on the way to the car and delayed her trip by another ten seconds, she'd still be alive.

If the other driver hadn't stopped at Taco Bell and gotten the extra large diet coke and been five minutes further down the road, she'd still be alive.

If a certain teenager last week in an uninvolved car miles away had been distracted by a phonecall from her boyfriend at just the right moment, she'd have died last week in a t-bone accident instead of this week in a head-on.

If my aunt had cajones... she'd be my uncle.

None of the other activities you listed are AGAINST THE LAW.

Since when did this disrespect for the law and our Constitution spring up on Freerepublic?

[Full Court]

The article says "address unknown." That's all that means.

How do you drive legally without your license on your person, which has your address on it?

[Full Court]

Or a visa.

Babe, I'm a tenth generation descendant of a man who arrived here in 1725 and was given a land grant in NC by Lord Granville.

My kin have served in every war fought by this country.

[RMDupree]

They were undocumented. Take that to mean what you will

Oh jeesh. You said "illegal", not "undocumented".

Nice try.

[Corin Stormhands]

How do you drive legally without your license on your person, which has your address on it?

My person does not have my address on it. Call your editor.

That said, do you really believe that driving without a license means a person is an illegal immigrant?

You're jumping to conclusions.

[linda_22003]

Now, now, be fair. We CAN verify that it was Easter Sunday!

[RMDupree]

Because if the borders were secure and those two were in Mexico on Sunday where they belong, a young woman expecting her first baby would still be alive.

Oh! You must have found a source! You are once again asserting that the drivers are illegal Mexican immigrants.

Source???

[Ramius]

LOL... What...?

Good grief... that's funny. It's like talking to a random word generator. You don't actually read what other people write, do you... you have posts all composed in advance and just paste them in...? Or do you just open a dictionary, point to a word, and figure out how to work it in to your next post?

I may have to experiment a little and see if I can get back something predictable or even comprehensible.

I'll see your Lord Granville and raise you a Virginia land grant by the king. Late 1600s.

Unless you want to count my American Indian ancestors.

'course that's undocumented.

[RMDupree]

Perhaps some industrious FReeper can ferret out the nationality of the two young men with Hispanic names and no known addresses who were involved in the wreck in Alabama.

I've been asking Full Court for that information for almost 24 hours now. She's the one that posted that they were illegal Mexican immigrants in the first place, so the burden is on ~her~ to back it up.

[Ramius]

My ancestors were Vikings. They were undocumented pretty much everywhere, except here. :-P

But we got here first, so neener neener neener.

[RMDupree]

But we got here first, so neener neener neener.

*snort*

[Ramius]

Maybe it's not her fault. Maybe she's never actually *met* a person with a hispanic surname that wasn't illegal. Maybe she's never heard of Carlos Santana. Me... I never really believed that Emilio Estevez looked hispanic anyway... but you never really know for sure...

[Ramius]

You're jumping to conclusions.

It's this mat, see... and it has different... ~conclusions~ on it...

[Corin Stormhands]

What if the drivers were just using the Ron Mexico Name Generator?

Hello Corin Stormhands! Your Ron Mexico name, the ultimate disguise, is Jan Equatorial Guinea.

Good morning.
"You're the one that is acting defensively..."

Actually, this thread is rolling along the way it is because you and a few others bristled up at the suggestion that these two young men with Hispanic names and no known addresses might be illegal and/or to blame for the accident.

The fact that illegals without licenses and insurance causing accidents is common enough to lead a reader to assume that illegals caused the wreck should catch your attention. Why doesn't it?

What we "bristled" at was the undocumented assertion that they 1) were illegal and 2) were Mexican.

The assumptions were presented as facts.

If the requested documentation (yet non-existent) had been provided, this thread would have been over yesterday.
