"They have to pay the storage rate of $22 per day. Then they have the $97 impound fee and a $93 release fee," said Wolf's driver Bobby Huggins as he paused to complete paperwork. "We auction them off all the time; every Tuesday morning there's a lien sale of vehicles that we've towed away and people either don't want them or they can't pay the fees."

The bottom line for really doing this: Get the money, auction off the cars!

They need to run these every day in every city and town in the country.

Eighteen of them went to jail. Thirteen got citations.

... and all the illegal aliens they caught were let off without even a warning.

funneling 1,294 cars through and checking the licenses of 1,112 drivers. The majority made it through with just the inconvenience of a slowdown.
Eighteen of them went to jail. Thirteen got citations. Nearly a dozen cars were impounded.

I wish the article had made the details more clear, because I have trouble understanding.

1294 - 1112 = 182 drivers' licenses were not checked. Why? And, how did they check licenses with just "a slowdown?"

18 + 13 = 31 drivers with citations or jail. Only 12 cars were impounded. How did the other 31 - 12 = 19 cars get away? Were there licensed passengers in them?

Unfortunately, the undocumented drivers here do that (drive unlicensed) more than the natives," Hahn said. "If they've been involved in an incident, they flee because they don't want to deal with immigration."

Unfortunately, this type of enforcement (which is a burden to citizens and might be construed as an infringement of liberty) may become more necessary if they don't enforce immigration law. Even illegal aliens with drivers licenses may flee accident scenes because they "don't want to deal with immigration" or be discovered to be driving without adequate insurance. (It's not that hard to get a license legally.)

I'm waiting for the headline:

Deputies catch unlicensed migrants - AND deport them immediately back to where they came from.

about time, someone is doing something, to keep illegals, off the street, my stepdad, and myself, we are both victims of illegals, driving without licenses, it really sucks that legal citizens have to suffer,for other people, that do not have the right to be here.

Who gets the proceeds from the sale of the vehicles. Or, for that matter, does the tow company get 100% of the impound and release fees? Maybe I'm in the wrong business.
