Set aside for a moment all the controversies over illegal immigration—the wall, deportation, amnesty, Donald J. Trump, “comprehensive immigration reform,” etc. Instead, contemplate what happens in a social, cultural, and economic context when several million immigrants arrive from one of the poorest areas in the world (e.g., Oaxaca) to one of the most affluent (e.g., California). For guidance, think not of Jorge Ramos, but of the premodern/postmodern collision that is occurring in Germany, Austria, and Denmark.
The first casualty is the law. I am not referring to the collapse of federal immigration enforcement, but rather the ripples that must follow from it. When someone ignores a federal statute, then it is naturally easy to flout more. In Los Angeles, half the traffic accidents are hit-and-run collisions. I can attest first-hand that running from an accident or abandoning a wrecked vehicle is certainly a common occurrence in rural California. Last night on a rural road, a driver behind me (intoxicated? Malicious? Crazy?) apparently tried to rear-end me, then turned off his lights, sped up, and at the next stop sign pulled over swearing out the window in Spanish. In this age and in these environs, why would one call a sheriff for a minor everyday occurrence like that? The point is simply that when there is no federal law, no one has any idea how several million arrive in the U.S., much less what exactly they were doing before their illegal arrival. I note the latter consideration, because legal immigration does require some sort of personal history, and at the airport I am always asked by U.S Customs what exactly I was doing in Greece or Germany that prompted my trip.

Our government, BOTH parties, have been refusing to enforce the laws against fraudulently documented foreigners.
They have INTENTIONALLY flooded our country with illegal aliens.
It's absolutely normal in Mexico. Anyone who's ever driven there knows it. There's a simple reason: in their system everyone can be taken to jail immediately unless they have insurance or bribe the police. People who run have neither and simply abandon the car because it's cheaper. The cops in Mexico could care less who it is; they just take the car and sell it or use it.

Yeah Victor: Duuh. Anyone who goes through U.S. Customs & Immigration now has to laugh their butt off: why bother? They don't ask those questions of the illegals. And if they aren't going to bother enforcing the laws against people fracturing them, why bother going through the motions with the people abiding by the law? Did we vote to have a country where the laws will only be enforced against those who agree to have them enforced against them, everyone else is exempted?
Our laws now exist so that citizens can be tyrannized by their elected officials.
Non-citizens, however, can do whatever they wish.
Professor Hanson needs to go out armed.
If it is common in Mexico to hit and run, how common is it to driveby shoot, or murder, or behead, or whatever MS13 or the various drug cartels do?

It always ticks me off when I come home and I get the where-were-you-and-what-were-you-doing drill at passport control.. Not to mention being herded like a damn cow to get to the officer. Meanwhile thousands just walk across the Southern border and the government DGAS.
