Ilegals Again?
Illegals involved in crashes, traffic stops, say authorities
My buddy David is jus gunna loveeeeeeeeee this one!
"Four vehicles loaded with 42 suspected illegal immigrants were involved in separate accidents early today on highways in Eastern Colorado, authorities say. Two other vehicles were stopped on the Western Slope, with more suspected illegal immigrants inside.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were in the process of arresting each of the suspected illegal immigrants, Wynn said.
At 6:35 a.m., a 1995 Ford Econoline carrying 16 people rolled on U.S. Highway 6 near Brush. No one was injured in the accident and all 16 occupants were taken into custody by immigration officials, Master Trooper Ron Watkins said.
At 7:11 a.m. on Interstate-70 near Seibert, a Chevy Suburban rolled with 10 occupants aboard.
At 8:03 a.m. on Interstate-76 near Brush a 1999 Chevy Suburban rolled with four occupants. Some of the passengers had minor injuries, but no one was taken to a hospital, Watkins said
At 8:19 a.m. on Interstate-76 near Brush, a 1998 GMC van with 12 occupants rolled. No one was injured, he said.
The series of accidents happened as a stream of illegal immigrants are entering the U.S., mostly from Mexico, at the beginning of the growing season, Wynn said."
OK...May I delicately point out:
Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:
Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;
has committed a federal crime.
Illegal Immigration is a Crime
"Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children.
Illegal immigration causes an enormous drain on public funds. The seminal study of the costs of immigration by the National Academy of Sciences found that the taxes paid by immigrants do not cover the cost of services received by them. We cannot provide high quality education, health care, and retirement security for our own people if we continue to bring in endless numbers of poor, unskilled immigrants."
Well, ya best buckle yer seat belts now...they're on the roads...and from the way it looks...it's gunna be one bumpy ride.

A novel way to deal with situations like this, one with might very likely cut down on such ocurrences:
Summary execution for the drivers of such vehicles.
Yeh, yeh, I know the argument would be put forth that such a law would "violate their civil rights"--bullhockey. Let thenm have civil rights where they came from.
And yeh, I know the argument would surface (like farts at a chili cookoff) that such a law would endanger LEOs, cos then tghe coyotes would start shooting as soon as it looked like they'd be caught.
So? Escalate it: canon (or 50cal machine guns, whatever) mounted and their use authorized in such cases. Collateral damage to the illegals being transported would be lamentable, but hey! They're ILLEGALS.
And yeh, I know this is a Men-in-Black, Dirty Harry, Die Hard-type violence solution that doesn't have the chance of a strawberry-chocolate, hot fudge pecan with a chery-on-top cherry chance in hell of being reality.
But a guy can dream, can't he?

It is not Islamic for a Muslim to have car insurance--tempts Allah's will.
And don't bother with trying to get CIE or INS to help you. They won't.
Get rear-ended by an illegal, and you'll be in for a financial hit like you wouldn't believe. The same can apply with foreign ambassadors )and their families)!
Last May 17, I was rear-ended by an immigrant. I couldn't get the police to help me track him down after this cabbie gave false information from the scene. In fact, my personal injury--moderately severe--hasn't even been addressed. Yes, the cabbie had insurance, but it was the bare minimum. I suffered nearly total loss of three months' income! This kind of thing happens all the time in the D.C. area, and no attorney will even take my case.
PS: Thanks for linking to my posting on that poor fellow in Afghanistan.

This was a problem in the Temecula CA checkpoint, where the Border Patrol would slow traffic in an attempt to catch illeagals and drug smugglers. Major Traffic accidents were fairly common, so they just closed the checkpoint.

In additon to the accidents you describe in middle America, our nations' capital, and elsewhere, the Southwest has a gang war going on its highways. Machine gun battles on the interstates between rival people/drug smugglers are not at all uncommon. Lord help the innocent American lawfully driving on his highways.
Nice posting Angel.

It kind of gives a whole new meaning to the term 'defensive driving,' doesn't it?

Want to bet that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will just let them go on their own recognizance? Why bother arresting them if they don't have to face the consequences?

Happens all the time! Check with your local police department.

The Charlotte Police Department has absolutely no problem with criminal aliens driving on their roads. The PD openly declares that they will not ask nor investigate anything about illegals -- the only thing they will do is arrest them after they drunk and drive -- but only if the driver kills someone.
