I’ve got news for you—taking their drivers licenses away will have zero impact on how much driving they do.
We lived in a SoCal sanctuary city for many years and I can assure you, people coming from Mexico bring with them very cavalier attitudes about driving laws. In Mexico, drunk driving is no big deal, as long as you can pay la mordida.
Drunk driving is a *very* serious problem in sanctuary cities. It’s rampant and it’s deadly. Illegals at least have to get insurance if they bother to get licenses.
CA has mandatory uninsured motorist coverage because of the illegals and it’s expensive.
But, it’s laughable to think that not having a license will stop an illegal from driving.
That's why the Giuliani administration implemented what was probably the most effective measure to deal with people who would drive without licenses in NYC. They'd simply impound the cars.
The whole measure was thrown out in court years later because of legitimate constitutional concerns, but there's no doubt that it was effective -- and there's no reason to worry about constitutional matters in a Marxist police state like New York City that isn't really part of America anyway.
