You can't get insurance w/o a drivers license.

"We" as in the majority of the US population.

I have and will still do agree with you

This type of propaganda goes back farther than either of us, or this country for that matter.

Wrong...in '96, I was T-boned by a non-licensed driver, who blew a .16 at 2:30pm on a Friday afternoon, about a 1/2 hour after snapping my LR wheel off the axle with the LR corner of his Grand Marque (sp?) station wagon. (He was spinning CW through the intersection when he "tagged" me)...

American Family Insurance had coverage on him and his vehicle...the car was properly licensed, HE wasn't...he hadn't had a license in over 3 years prior to hitting me...AAMOF, what he gave the officer on the scene was his expired license, from Illinois, that had expired back in '92...

AFI paid for my vehicle's repair 100% (they refunded the deductable) and paid all my medical (post-crash checkouts and such) and offered me a $12K payoff...and he ended up in the county Gray-bar Motel for 1 year and a $2,500.00 fine...but, he was insured...

You're here illegally ou are inherently a criminal and should be deported forthwith.

Now I'm aware of course that not everybody who enters illegally is a viscious criminal but I repeat. My concern is the welfare of the United States and it's citizens. Yes, even those who don't care about it themselves. And so I don't care about illegals.

I would support such measures and I have no problem stating it as I have done on many a previous occasion. Who else will agree with me?

+1

BTW I'm in the reserve and would gladly welcome mobilization orders to go help take care of this problem.

About a year or so ago the illegals staged a "day without Mexicans" (or something like that) where they organized a one day strike where they didn't work. It was supposed to show how things would come to a skreeching halt without them; needless to say no one noticed.

Some people slip through the cracks. He must've had one when he bought the coverage, or lied about it.

OK? So it's not illegal to kill someone if you're a citizen? You missed the point entirely. With your blatant prejudices and vitriol, you alienate 50% of the country, and as aklim said, you get no results. Keep it up, you're doing wonders so far.

How come people like Ron Paul can get the 'protect the borders' message across without using violent speeches and murder examples, while Duncan Hunter just has a few miles of broken fence from courageously taking matters into his own hands? Fix the problem, don't create more. The guy killed people, and they weren't able to defend themselves. Dude should be tried, convicted, hanged, like anyone else. But while you people all ***** about shoot on sight, look at all the murder "they" cause, need to build a wall, the legislators pillage and profit from all of you. On both sides. While nothing ever changes.

I don't see how this is possible either.

About two years ago, I got a ticket in the country. Dumb@$$ that I am/was, I took a local colleague up on an offer to take care of it. Well, he took care of the ticket for the no inspection sticker (window had been replaced the day before), but forgot about the underlying speeding ticket. When I called, he said it was done. TEN DAYS after my originally set Court date (at which I failed to appear), I got a fax from my insurance company, informing me that my license was suspended, and I was dropped. My insurance company let me know my license was suspended before the DMV did. Luckily, the Judge was sympathetic, dismissed the ticket and my agent took care of the rest without penalty.

Every American generation has its "invading horde of foreigners" to be angry and frightened of. Just as every generation will have a politico or group ready to lead the fight to rid this righteous nation of these invaders.

Kinda makes you wonder if the ancestors of the First Nation tribes are smirking in the happy hunting grounds.

Well, few are saying foreigners are bad. I think many are disgusted at the illegal ones.

Doubt it. Dead people don't care.
