No on them getting license, but F*** YES on making them responsible for paying for their share of the damage aka at least to repair their vehicle ESP if they're at fault, which in your case they were.  I used to live in San Clemente, but I was born in Orange.  So I know how it is.  F***ing annoying.

Hell no, I believe you should of shot the guy and said a took his money to pay for your car and throw his in some quarry. But seriously, no, I think that shit head should of had to pay for both of yours repairs, if you dont have insurance, that means you automaticly pay for complete repairs for both cars out of your pocket if the accident is more then 50% your fault. In essence the guy without insurance pays for both if its his/her fault.

Ok, today I was in a big accident with a Mexican driver. I was turning into a neighborhood in Orange, when he flew from the otherside of the street and t-boned me. He went under my truck and took my oil pan completely off. His car had the hood taken off, and the windshield broken. He gets out of the car and fucking SCREAMS at me in broken English and Spanish. I used my horrid Spanish to tell him to shut the fuck up and call the cops.

So about an hour later, we are standing with a cop on the side of the road. The cop asks for my License and registration (Its in hand). The Mexican driver doesnt have a license. He doesnt have registration.

Now because of this piddleshit, I have to A.) Spend $620 to repair his car (uninsured drivers coverage), and my insurance premium goes up by $400 this year. So basically the Mexican dude gets a free windshield and hood out of the deal, and he doesnt even belong in this country.

I'LL have to agree on this, a bit, but yeah Mexicans shouldn't be allowed to have a license UNLESS they show proof of insurance, and that they really are good at driving. I'm not illegal but yeah I'm an immigrant, I don't have my drivers license yet though but you don't see me driving yet, I'm studying the manual since yesterday so I'm getting it pretty soon, I'm from El Salvador :p and we can drive extremelly well, well, most of us. I did fail my test over in El Salvador but that's because most of the idiots there don't respect anything when on the road, so for watching out for myself not getting hit by the crappy buses rushing next to me at rush hour I ALMOST passed a STOP sign, my instructor didn't pass me for that, oh well, at least people here respect the road or else.

Wait, what the fuck?  How the hell does that make ANY sense whatsoever?  If the guy didn't have a license in the first place, then what good is a law that makes it illegal for him to get a license?  Honestly.

...unless I'm totally missing something here, can someone please explain this to me?

It eliminates the problem, increases tax revenues, increases the workforce, boosts aggregate demand, boosts aggregate supply, and dramatically increases potential real GDP (long-term economic performance). Yes, I do. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either short-sighted or dumb.

If the Mexican driver was an illegal immigrant, he shouldn't even be here, as you already said.  So, illegal immigrants should not have a drivers license.  If you are a legal immigrant to the US, then you should be allowed to get a license.

edit: goddamn BB code..
I agree.  If you're here illegally, you should have your vehicle impounded and have your ass dropped off in the middle of the Mexican desert (and far from the border).

Should illegal immigrants have the right to any public benefits?

  NO. They are here illegally. They have broken the law and should be deported.

As a American I do not blame them for coming here.

I blame Our United States Government for not having the balls to uphold the law.
I blame liberal and conservative Americans for not voting into office the proper Representatives  that would do their best to uphold our laws.

You people get upset with immigrants, when you should really be voicing yourselves to your government. How many of you ppl in here don't even vote? If you are one of these and are eligible to vote then you are the IDIOT. We have hundreds of thousand of ppl in the  world that would die for the opportunity.

You ppl use statistics and percentages as if you had a clue as to what you are talking about.
When you say that 80% of all court cases were Hispanic/Latin, Do you think this has ANY thing to do with the fact you live or are in a area/city/state that is 90% Hispanic?

If I were in New Orleans I am sure their would be a 80% Black case log.

This issue will continue for the rest of our lives. Although there has been some recent reports of of Immigration officials raiding Meat Packing plants in the mid west.

We will see how gung ho everyone will be when we start paying through the nose for a burger.

In a way, jonsimon is right.

On the one hand, if we could just grant all Mexicans that wanted to become American citizens that citizenship, then we would see a major increase in tax revenue and probably productivity.

On the other hand, there are a lot of transaction costs.  A sudden major increase in naturalized citizens would put a high burden on many border communities with respect to infrastructure.  There would be concerns of language (many if not most would not be fluent in English), crime (because a significant portion of people that are illegals are thieving bastards and sex offenders -- citizenship wouldn't change that about some people), and birth rates (because their general poverty and Catholic culture lead to large families that would absorb a lot of social services in the long run).

It's a hard call to make, but I personally prefer the guest worker idea.  It seems to be a good compromise, and it's one of the few things that Bush has done that I agree with.  Immigration seems to be one of the few issues he has a decent grasp on.  I'd guess this is a result of once being the governor of Texas.

Turquoise, I agree with your post. When you look in depth at this issue you find that many of the "side effects" are actually damaging to our economy (in the short run).

We essentially have to clean house, close our border and create a type of working permit. This type of reform will obviously not be easy, but really is the only way to go.

Here is an interesting link regarding economy impact. Although, it is partly flawed.

People don't get it.

Illegal aliens get jobs with bogus papers and SS #'s.
They have taxes withheld just like everybody else ( the cash worker day labors are a tiny fraction of the illegal workforce ), but because they have a bogus #, they don't get tax returns. Hell, most of them don't even file. The government knows who they are and where they are working, they just let it happen.
The golden Gate Fenco company pissed off a politician, or doesn't do the kickback system, or did not make a campaign contribution so they are getting ass raped by the Feds.

It's just like the Feds to not enforce the border, yet selectively pick and choose companies to ruin with cosmetic enforcement gestures.

Well, I find the idea of a revolution laughable as long as so many business owners (small and big) exploit illegal labor.  They know what's going on, but they'll hire the cheapest people possible, and really, isn't that the goal of business in the first place?  Maximize profit, minimize costs.

The government doesn't really care, because these business owners are a big voting bloc.  They'll penalize the illegals left and right, but no one has really seriously discussed penalizing the business owners.  The government only penalizes big businesses that are being too blatant about their illegal hiring practices.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I can't take the "build a wall" crowd seriously, because these same people are often the ones that hire illegals.  In addition to this, as Carlos Mencia once put it, "Who's going to build the wall?" -- Mexicans...  lol

It would seem that the issue was a lot easier to handle when Mexicans could get seasonal jobs here, make some money, and then go back home in the off-season.  When our border was less dangerous to cross, they could better their families and only spent half of their time here.  As a result, there was less of a problem with them burdening our infrastructure.

The main groups that bother me coming from Mexico are MS-13 and the various drug cartels.  If we spent less time cracking down on the average illegal laborer and more time on the drug dealers and MS-13, we could solve half of the problem right there.

Building a wall will just cost too much (and they'll just dig under it).  The guest worker idea is what I prefer because it gives the Mexicans less incentive to illegally enter, and with them on the books, they won't resort to using other people's SS#'s as much.

Granted, the ones who actually do commit identity theft should....  disappear, if you know what I mean.
