Americans’ auto-insurance rates are rising rapidly because President Joe Biden’s migration policy puts millions of new migrants on the road, often without driver training or English language lessons.
Federal data shows that monthly auto insurance rates rose by roughly 8.3 percent under President Donald Trump, but by 20 percent under President Joe Biden and his pro-immigration vice President, Kamala Harris.
That 20 percent jump adds up to an annual $500 “tax” on Americans’ pocketbooks.

The huge inflow has stalled wages and raised housing costs, and has also imposed many other civic and social costs on ordinary Americans.

Will a lot of items rise in price due to illegal immigrants?
Yeah. Cat belly futures are soaring.
“often without driver training or English language lessons.”
Or insurance....tons of illegals driving around without insurance and often times when there is an accident the insurance of the not at fault driver foots the bill.
In some blue states and big cities, several preferred companies refuse to sell new auto policies due to excessive losses.
An Increase in Uninsured Drivers Is Pushing Up Costs for Everyone Else. Number of drivers without car insurance has risen since the start of the pandemic

More Americans are driving without car insurance, and it’s making coverage more expensive for everyone else.
The problem has been growing since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Insurance Research Council, whose latest data show the percentage of uninsured drivers rose to 14% in 2022, from about 11% in 2019. The IRC, which calculates the data based on the relative frequencies of auto-insurance claims, expects the numbers have continued to climb since then.
Washington, D.C., New Mexico and Mississippi are among the jurisdictions with the highest share of uninsured motorists, the IRC says. Washington has recorded almost 19,000 uninsured vehicles since 2021, according to a spokesperson at the district’s department of motor vehicles. In Ohio—ranked 10th on the list—the number of noncompliance suspensions increased 16% between 2020 and 2023, according to the state’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Such infractions occur when a driver fails to show proof of insurance at a traffic stop or after an accident.
J.D. Power, which bases its research on consumer surveys, sees a similar trend and says the percentage of uninsured drivers increased in the first half of this year.
When more cash-strapped consumers drop their coverage, it reduces the premium pool, which causes many insurers to raise the prices of their policies. The average annual cost of full-coverage car insurance has jumped to $2,278, up 12% from 2023, according to Bankrate.
Although many of the drivers dropping coverage say they are also battling rising costs for groceries, housing and healthcare, others are rolling the dice and betting they won’t need it.
In the past 24 months, my insurance has gone up over 35 %
I do NOT drive more than 4000 miles a year.
Closer to 50% than 20% I’d wager for many people, but the primary driver is inflation driving up the cost of repair parts first, followed by labor.
In places like the LA area, there have been so many hit and runs due to the illegals, it’s become common place.
They’ve driven up rates over the past 30+ years. And now it’s a risk to not have uninsured motorist coverage in venues like LA....More money lost to illegals and endless chain immigration disaster.
“… tons of illegals driving around without insurance…”
Not just illegals. Years BEFORE all the illegals rushed the border, AAA said that one out of ten drivers in DC didn’t have insurance.
I recall a case where an drunk illegal crossed into oncoming traffic causing a horrific head-on collision. The 2 elder victims in the other vehicle both serious and critical. The drunk illegal walked away from the scene and was found about a block or two away, drinking at a bar...
I would imagine that electric cars and keyless (push button start) theft with code stealing gadgets along with illegal aliens driving has had a huge impact on rates also.
But hey, knock yourself out and get your lovely abortions because that makes all the Biden-Harris misery tolerable.
I can’t even calculate the % mine has gone up because the premium has changed 6 times since I got a AAA policy in March when Travelers stopped writing with the agency that wrote it years ago. I just spent weeks shopping and settled on State Farm. Not a reduced premium but had to settle on something by the 19th and I couldn’t stand dealing with AAA paperwork. Every piece of mail meant a different premium - same with HO insurance...
My car is 20 years old and I don’t have 50,000 miles on it - I drive to the store once a week 10 miles round trip..We drove the car new from CA in 2006 to GA and drove little after we got here..After my husband passed away, I seldom leave the house - stressed out when I do as the driving “privilege” fell on him for 50 years. Learned too late that I should haven’t become so dependent on him.
Maybe. Car parts and labor at repair shops have both gone up a lot from inflation.
Biden-Harris = 1929 & 1984

Our family computer expert recommended a simple email to our agent with the current mileage for each vehicle.
We did that and heard back from the office of our insurance agent in minutes, and she said that was all she needed from us.
1. All vehicles will have increases even good drivers.

Here in California, they often leave their wrecked vehicle, and get picked up by amigos after a quick phone call
