Am I the first to say: "They're just killing the people Americans don't want to kill."
If they're so skilled, athletic and conscientious, why can't they get jobs back in the home country?
Starting to see the same thing in the apple orchard country in midstate PA. Just substitute US 15 for US 13 and much the same.
I'm not defending illegal immigration, not at all. But, well, 20 some years ago I helped to plant a vineyard and to care for it. The boss got some Hispanics to help with the harvest one year. They were incredible and they put the Anglos to shame with respect to both the speed and quality of their work.
Tennessee would change their ways..
nThree-fourths of the drivers had no auto insurance – more than four times the national rate for uninsured motorists.
nNearly all of the vehicles driven by migrants and other laborers were registered to other drivers.
n Ninety-three percent of the vehicles had out-of-state tags – most of them from Tennessee.
--I live in Virginia and it is being over run in some areas with 10 to 15 of them living in one house
Tennessee does not require identification or proof of insurance when a vehicle is titled and plates are issued, as long as the motorist pays cash. Most states require identification or proof of insurance; Virginia requires both.
----Then stay out of our state and stay in Tennessee. They need to follow the law.
Well, about the time it stopped being funny, it became a tradition.
Have you ever driven in Mexico? It's scarey.
I get the feeling that such work ethic is more temporary than we are led to believe, witness the mess south of our border.
No, I haven't been to Mexico. I can only imagine what it's like.
I think TN has easy to obtain driver licenses as well. I wonder if a little national media exposure would cause TN to change their ways?
Journalists have really gone to hell.
What a unique way to put it; as though the vehicle itself were responsible for part of the problem.
Much like the way the idiots describe SUV accidents.
"Rogue", huh?
Or any other form of responsibility either.
True story:
A couple of years ago a woman who used to work for me was hit be a truckload of swarthy looking types (in Norcross GA - home to the illegal immigrant). They took off. Her car was drivable so she followed and called the police from her cell phone. The police caught them in Roswell, ga. Arrested the entire lot of them on one charge or another - driver leaving the scene of an accident, the others on public drunkeness or something - I'm not sure, but plenty of open beer containers in the vehicle. Not a single one had any verifiable id and of course no insurance or driver's licenses. The all bailed out by the next day. Court date came - not a single one showed up. They issued bench warrants, but so what. They all gave false names. None of them had an fixed address. They could have moved two blocks, two miles, or back to Mexico, and they'd never find them.
This point up the flaw in "law enforcement" It's only designed to victimize the law abiding. If you have wetbacks like these there isn't any way to do anything to them unless they're arrested and kept without bail, and there are too many of them for that.
Come to Gwinnett county GA and find out - more hispanic immigrants (surely all legal) than any other county in the entire USA according the the Atlanta Fish Wrapper anyway.
My family who lives in the Easton - St. Michaels area has been involved in two wrecks with illegals, and witnessed others. Fortunately, nobody in my family was injured more than bumps and brusies. Between the illegals and the huge over population of deer, it's a certainty that you will wreck your car sooner or later.
Kudoes to VA for compiling these stats. Illegal alien traffic stats are a closely guarded secret in Texas, never published by TXDOT, but I'm sure they are comparable. These irresponsible lawbreakers don't need no steenkeen traffic laws or driver's licenses or insurance, and they are a danger to everyone on the highway, particularly at night after they've been drinking at their numerous celebrations. We should pressure the Dept. of Transportation to release all data on Hispanic drivers in all 50 states to see just what the extent of this problem is. Profiling on the highways should be a necessity when these disproportional carnage is taking place.
