It’s time we fought back against this invasion. States need to act, because the federal government has abdicated its responsibility to preserve and protect these United States.
He's had to turn away 30 to 40 people wanting tags in the last two weeks because they don't have Georgia driver's licenses.Hmmm, he loses 30 to 40 people for tags over a two-week period but his insurance business hasn't suffered. That's a pretty good indication to me that the illegals weren't buying auto insurance anyway.His main business is auto insurance, which hasn't suffered, but he's worried immigrant customers won't buy insurance either if they can't register their cars.
The law is cutting deep into traffic for many auto dealers and tag and title services catering to the state's growing [illegal] immigrant community.
There.
I fixed it for them.
Millions of legal immigrants have managed to register cars over the last 20 years, no problem.
So what is this article really about? The ol' "it's bad for business" whine? Whatever happened to "it's for the children?"
Yes, it is.
If all the illegals were deported, the US peek-up market would collapse.
Boo-hoo! It’s so hard when you are forced to obey the law.

Ummm, is there an exception for non-resident property
owners who do not have or need a GA license, and have
a vehicle principally garaged in GA?
If not, there’s likely a Catch 22 here (plus some lost
revenue from otherwise perfectly legit citizens).
I for one expect to pay market prices for products which are produced by LEGAL immigrants.
I was thinking the same thing. All they need to do now is make it impossible for illegals to get welfare or receive health benefits, and they will be in a stampede to get out!
I live in the largest agricultural county in Georgia: Colquitt.
We have a very large hispanic population (You should try to get in WalMart the first Sunday of the month) and lots of Buy Here/Leave Here auto places.
Jose and 9 of his buddies pool their cash and buy a car, usually a van. They get insurance long enough to register it, and poof.
Only Jose has a license, but everyone else drives it. Normally they are decent on the road, but once they have the chance to drink a few, they are maniacs and idiots.
Funny, the farmers would like nothing more than to see them gone, but our county would suffer dearly with the loss of their work...and the money they spend at WalMart.
High Five Georgia!!!!!!!!!
^5!!!!!
You got it—even if they do buy insurance in the first place, they let it lapse after the first payment-—try NJ where it is a known fact most, if not all, of the Mexies have NO auto insurance and the true citizens are stuck with repairs and then have to go after the State fund for a partial repayment (uninsured motorists)—of course those with insurance have their rates ‘jacked up’ to make up for this fund—get the illegals the hell out of my country!
I was about to post the same thing. They’re getting registration so they can get the tabs on their cars but are not paying for insurance or only for bare minimum plans.
Perhaps there is a market to set up front companies to lease cars to illegals.
...he’s worried immigrant customers won’t buy insurance either if they can’t register their cars.
Isn’t one of the problems with illegals is that they don’t have automobile insurance?
#7.
that’s the liberal media
pulling your emotions.
They shouldn’t have been relying on illegals.
They should be paying a prevailing U.S. wage or better yet, mechanizing.
I feel your pain, Illegal. When I see you and your "people" in my country, it all seems very bad.
The State of Georgia will soon have the ACLU on their case. The ACLU is claim this is profiling and is a prejudice law against immigrants. The MSM won’t mention the part of illegal immigrants, just immigrants. I agree with the post that if every state adopted this law, it would do two things. 1) Either send the illegals back where they belong or 2) the car theft rate with dramatically increase. I wonder if Georgia’s GTO rate has increased rate or if their uninsured auto premiums have been reduced??
