"Thus far, Fisher has been able to set up a sit-down with former Motor Vehicle Commission director Diane Legreide -- now Acting Gov. Richard J. Codey's emergency management coordinator -- but she essentially told city officials there was little the state could do to help cut down on hit-and-run accidents without the federal government loosening restrictions on licensing of undocumented residents, widely blamed for the great majority of hit-and-runs here."

States will increasingly take the easy way out and normalize to every extent possible an illegal alien's existence here. There is absolutely no way this problem can be effectively countered at the state and local level. The longer it takes the feds to act, the more states will accomodate our guests.

• Illegal aliens
• without drivers' licenses
• driving uninsured,
• unregistered vehicles
• while drunk,
• then fleeing back across the border to excape prosecution.

If the illegal can drive away from an accident he will. Otherwise he will run away. Police won't bother to attempt to find him. He/his car has no insurance. If you are lucky you have insurance to cover most of your car damage. Tough luck about injuries or the deductable. On the other hand think of the money you're saving by having the cheap labor. Think it balances out?

Here is the nasty little truth about illegals and driving - Police in Tucson wont even pull over illegals for speeding and traffic violations - they know that the illegals dont have to show up or pay for their ticket and the city does not enforce the laws against these perps. I assume other cities probably have similiar policies but they are not talked about. Illegals have more rights than citizens - if you dont believe me then the next time you go to the emergency room and they ask you for your id and insurance card just remember that the illegal does not have to show proof that he/she is here legally or can pay for services. There is no way to track them after they leave (no soc. sec. number) unlike the citizen who will be required to pay this debt and can be tracked with you soc. security number.

Illegal immigrants - Just doing the hit-and-runs Americans don't want to do.

Easy answer: Illegals steal license plates and temp tags. In Coloraod, both plates are required. Illegals also use the front one as the back one and scrape off, read:steal; date stickers.

Police can easily stop all vehicles with these problems and jail the drivers.

George Bush's "honest, hard-working folks" are sure an asset to our country aren't they?

Just this morning they had a talk show host talking about the problems with fake proof of insurance cards. Instead of trying to arrest, and at the very least confiscate the cards, they send them out the door. In Colorado you need to have proof of insurance before you are able to register your vehicle.

Here in North Alabama at the end of May, a car of three illegals ran a stop sign and killed four folks, one of them an 18 month old.
The driver is in jail. They let the other two go because "if there isn't a bunch of illegals the feds won't come get them".
Four legal citizens are dead and two illegals are out walking and possibly driving again!
Where is the justice in that?!

[JarheadFromFlorida]

The federal government has left the American citizen no other choice than to declare war on illegal aliens that are robbing the working taxpayer of their hard earned money.

The folks in N.J just got their heads plled out of a nice warm palce.
We have been dealing with in So. Calif since 1986, when Reagan gave an amnesty that was supposed to stop the problem. There was a rquirement that they had to be here 3 years. As Oone Assistant D A said (in confidence) "They can prove that with their DUI convictions".

'Hit & run values don't stop at the border' bump.

[Coleus]

Not only do they hit and run

They also hit and sue.


NJ led the nation with automobile scandals and fraudulent accidents where gangs of people, immigrants, would sue and sue and sue, many would be involved in over 25 accidents a year!
