    Allowed?
    According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety unlicensed drivers are 5 times more likely to cause a fatal accident, 5 times more likely to drive drunk and 9.5 times more likely to flee the scene of an accident.
    In New Mexico 23.4% of all crashes involve unlicensed drivers, in Maine 6.1%.

    Why would you say that?

    It would also certainly reduce the numbers of decent, wonderful people you might want to know...if they hadn't their lives snuffed out as a matter of convenience, of course.



    More specious crud. It also adds to the number of people that rape, steal and murder. The problem is you don't get to select who comes across the border and not. I don't know if that ever occurred to you.


    I'm not using distorted statistics. Or statistics of any sort. You are.



    Yeah...probably. I don't know how many illegals are in this country and I haven't tried to guess. The fact that we have thousands of deaths (not to mention rape, theft, etc.) per year attributable to illegals is statistic enough for me.
    You are the one making a specious argument trying to make it seem as if deaths from illegal immigrants is no greater than among the native population.
    You haven't shown that and even if you did the "blessings" of illegal immigration don't seem remotely great enough to me to justify an extra 19 thousand dead just in the last eight years.
    How I wish I could watch you explain to the parent of a dead child murdered by an illegal how their death was no big deal.

    the average democrat supports illegal aliens more than the American people.

    Please don't compare illegal aliens to homosexuals, it's not politically correct, you might be hurting the feelings of an illegal alien.

    It doesn't matter how many traffic fatalities there were, if our immigration laws were enforced, there would be less traffic fatalities.

    Just under the Obama administration, 18,750 less traffic fatalities.

    Do you want to count the murders committed by illegal aliens or rapes including the rape of dogs ? How about identity theft ? If you or I get caught using someone else's social security number, we would end up in prison. Illegals are given a complete pass.

    It's a crime to illegally to cross over the border. It's a crime being illegally on American soil. Every breath an illegal alien takes in America, he's a criminal.

    Read my next sentence.

    Sure, just as a lot of immigrants, even those who are not documented, are decent wonderful people you might want to know.

    Or maybe you wouldn't.

    So do the greater number of people who weren't aborted. The problem is you don't get to select who gets born. I don't know if that ever occurred to you.

    Sorry that was reference to the OP

    Good for you. No surprise.
    That is what the numbers say.

    No surprise to me. But you probably like eating those strawberries.

    Why would I explain that?

    All your saying is that if the population were smaller we'd have less fatalities. Of course. That is an argument for a smaller population.

    What I'm saying, our laws that are on the books aren't being enforced. If our laws were enforced there would be more Americans alive today intead of beeing six feet under.

    You have these open borders PC amnesty bigots who keep saying our immigration system is broken. BULL (*)(*)(*)(*). The only thing broken is that we aren't enforcing our immigration laws.

    All you're saying is that if our population was smaller there'd be fewer people dead. I certainly agree.

    I agree. Those Republican farmers and businessmen and homeowners love the cheap labor they can pay under the table and avoid those FICA payments and health care insurance etc. But they are politically influential and they've been able to avoid the law being enforced so they keep their profits high.

    And now we have families that have lived here for a generation whose kids were born here and went to school here and are contributing members of society.

    You can't live where I lived and not know some illegals. I'm not sure you can say the same but as I already pointed out, you don't get to choose who crosses the border illegally (sort of the whole point of legal immigration). But you seem to indicate you prefer to play Russian Roulette with people's lives when you stop monitoring who gets into our nation and not. I think that's the height of callous disregard for the well being of others.
    What do you think?


    Well that's biology for you. We can do nothing about that. However we can select who we take into our country and not.
    I'm certain you never thought of that..


    Yes. No surprise, indeed. Am I supposed to apologize because I care about some of the senseless, needless violence visited on innocent people at the hands of people who are criminally in this country?


    Yeah...about that, you still haven't demonstrated what you claim.

    So you think strawberries are an even exchange for the lives of nearly 19 thousand people that died at the hands of illegal immigrants? What a moral abyss you must inhabit, based on that.



    Because you like strawberries, I guess.

    Oh but you use them do you not as your attempt to be cute or funny? Don't say you don't use them, it's pretty much your whole vocabulary.

    Funny about, perhaps 8 years ago progressives insisted that states didn't issue illegal aliens drivers licences - now they're defending them.

    Illegals should NOT be given drivers licences - they should be driven out of the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing country...

    I just saw a youtube video this morning where an illegal was given life in prison for his 9th DUI.

    People who forgive incidents like these deserve to have something terrible happen to them to gain some perspective. What other way is there to truly understand the problem?

    I guess the ol not in my backyard excuse, works until it actually happens to someone they care about. Only then will it hit a nerve. How sad it takes personally being effected by something horrible, for them to give a crap.

    Sad.

    Remember who's DOJ you talking about? Fat chance. Selective Law Enforcement is the name of the game with this administration. But if a BLM protester trips and bumps their head, the DOJ might contemplate taking over the city's police force.

    Immigration is in the process of deporting a Bulgarian violist and his wife who have no criminal records.......but the Mexican who shot and killed Kate on the wharf in San Francisco is still here.......that's the immigration system that Obama, the Mexicans and liberals want to keep in place.......

    Doesn't believe US unemployment data which has been collected for decades is accurate.
    Posts thread based on the guesses of some poor soul who doesn't have access to any data that actually supports his rough guesstimate....

    Because state and federal highway safety officials do not classify deaths by the perpetrator’s immigration stats, tabulating the deadly toll of unlicensed, illegal immigrant drivers has been a painstaking effort. Rosenberg has pored through spreadsheets and studies, piecing together numbers that show his son’s death was neither necessary nor unique. Still, his estimate is just that, and it varies from the guesses of other groups.

    It may seem the Democrats make the illegals feel like they own the system rather than ensuring the system keeps them in check, as long as they do the right thing and vote a certain way, now or in the future. How far would the Democrats go for a few cheap votes?

    Up here in Canada if a rich white guy - Mark Muzzo - kills people while driving drunk then it's on TV and radio 24/7 for months and years. Sure enough the guy was an idiot, but listening to some of the media seems like they developed a tunnel vision.

    This is why liberlaism is a plague that needs to be destroyed by any means necessary.

    These ignorant fools will (*)(*)(*)(*) their pants in rage over some homo not geting wedding cake but when tens of thoudsands of Americans are being slaughtered and raped by these illegal invading subhuman filth they ignore it completely.

    I think we need a civil war to sort this out because the infection has spread too far and some limbs just need to be cut off.

    Uhm no they aren't. Not automatically at least, sometimes they are just immigrants or permanent residents.
