Who cares about your personal anecdotes on this thread?
Everyone seems to conveniently forget that this whole thing started because Full Court could not (and still has not) provided a source for adding the words "Mexican immigrant" to the headline.
I'm not saying that there isn't an illegal immigration problem.
It seems to me that everyone thinks it is perfectly acceptable to assume the other driver in this story is an illegal Mexican immigrant just because the article shows a hispanic last name.
And that's just plain stupid.
I am not assuming such. If I may explain something being from Birmingham. The News ALWAYS states where someone resides among the many municipalities, suburbs and communities that make up our metro area. The information in a case like this, would be provided by law enforcement. Based on the fact that the story says "ADDRESS UNKNOWN" and that the person of unknown address was sent to UAB Hospital would tell me that any such reported person had no identification or insurance. In addition to this accident happening in an area going through rapid construction growth, along with a tremendous increase of illegal immigrants....it smells.
I don't know why everybody is so upset. Obviously, with a name like "Porter" we know it's just one less crack baby in the world.
