The purpose of that goofy bill was to keep the docket from being overcrowded with Juan Doez...
Ok, but if you reread my posts, I never said anything about all hispanics being drunk, what I did say is that bad driving is bad driving.
They probably should be able to get a non resident drivers license which does not allow them to vote or get welfare, but does qualify them to be drivers. Most countries recognize a US drivers license to be valid for operating a motor vehicle, but some require an international drivers license.
There are a suprising number of people on this board who will welcome the police state with open arms.
My point is to stop exploiting fringe issues as an excuse to kick out the illegals. Here the fringe issue is bad driving. Ok if the bad driving is the cause of your anti illegal anger, then fix the problem by a guest worker program where those who are bad drivers don't get in. Or better is a guest worker program where before being admitted you have to go a nascar driving school at your expense.
Bottom line, the anti illegal freepers want the illegals gone even if they could drive like Richard Petty.
You want the illegals gone, then say you want the illegals gone. But do not say you want the illegals to be better drivers.
"Which is why if a guest worker program was adopted (and this is almost universally opposed on FR) this would help keep out the criminals and potential terrorists"
A guest worker program is fine under certain conditions, but in no way should it be introduced without
a) Building a secure border fence and properly manning it B) deporting all illegals you can find, including a reward system to encourage 'snitching'.
C) guest workers should only be able to apply from their own country. No rewarding illegal behavior by giving guest worker cards to those already here
d) massive, crippling fines for those who hire illegal workers
e) guest worker program is only implented after borders have been closed and illegals deported. Only then can you determine how many 'guest workers' are needed.
Given the history of the government, they will promise more controls in exchange for helping illegal aliens. Then, they will help the illegal aliens and not do anything to enforce the laws they promised. Stronger enfrorcement needs to come first.
No way we should fall for the 86 amnesty bait and switch again. That was a disaster.
FYI, if you read the article, the location is Virginia.

They want the police to kick the illegals out and the muslims too.
I think profiling the muslims for terrorism may not be a bad idea. We do have freedom of religion, but I think a lot of muslim, especially certain variations of muslim is a cult and not a religion that can be tolerated.
No, no, he's busy turning into Jimmy Carter, building houses for humanity, instead of doing anything about the illegal alien issue.
"You want the illegals gone, then say you want the illegals gone. But do not say you want the illegals to be better drivers."
Is it ok to say that lack of respect for immigration laws manifests itself in lack or respect for ALL our laws?
Is it ok to say that if immigration law were enforced, the illegals would mostly not be here, and hence, would not be driving drunk on the eastern shore killing people?
I just want your approval so nobody, you know, points out something obvious like illegals are either ignorant of, or comptemptuous of, our laws - to the point where they don't fear any repercussions of, say, drunk driving.
It's only a "fringe" issue because the gov't won't enforce the obvious direct issue.
Drunk, uninsured, unlicensed illegals driving stolen/untraceable automobiles kill people. Isn't really a "fringe" issue to me, though.
You can say it, but I am going to disagree with it. I personally have the greatest respect for most of our laws, but every day I refuse to wear a seatbelt.
Further, the level of general law breaking in hispanic communities is higher than that of caucasians, but lower than that of the citizen african american communities.
Sorry to hear about this avalanche of calamity....
So what? What does this have to do with the ability of illegal aliens to disappear when they're charged with crimes?
Not me. I'll take my chances with the drunks rather than put up with further descent into a totalitarian police state.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
It's amazing, the lengths the Quisling Brigade will go to to defend the criminal alien invasion. They would sell their daughters to bordellos, and claim they were "modeling academies." Small wonder that they could care less about criminal invaders killing innocent, law-abiding Americans on our highways.
Quisling: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.
As you wish "I WANT THE ILLEGALS GONE!!!"
...just causing alcohol related accidents and injuries Americans don't want to....
Appypappy is apparently one. Like I told him, I'd rather take my chances with the drunks.
I'm not much in disagreement with this. I'm a fence sitter actually. I do see pluses and minuses with the illegals. I think I'm in favor of a guest worker program where you can weed out the undesirables and also for reduceing the total number of mexicans. From empiracle evidence (what I see with my eyes), fewer is better, but some are useful. I think about 50% would be about right.
