Illinois Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Aliens Puts All of U.S. at Risk

This just shows how super-corrupt all our politicians are. They all take bribes from the illegal alien lobby i.e. the mexican govt.

And as we all know, this means the illegals will be able to vote. Republicans are morons to go along with this.

So, this is something that our family has been dealing with for over a year now and will continue to deal with for the rest of our lives. I would imagine I am assuming correctly when I say that all of you who disagree with this bill haven’t thoroughly educated yourselves on this matter and have also not had to deal with the aftermath of suffering a severe bodily injury caused by an ‘illegal” immigrant driving on your roads. As a citizen of this country and a victim of an illegal immigrants uneducated illegal driving experience, I can completely understand both sides of the fence. But here are a few issues I have come across from reading the responses from some of you and your reasonings, assumptions and outlandish responses. The majority of you who have spoken out against it obviously haven’t researched the astronomical amount of debt these “illegal” immigrants cost you every day by causing motor vehicle accidents. First and Foremost, lets start with the part about it being illegal and how America came to be. If any of you know anybody or you yourself are of any Asian, German, European, African American, Jewish amongst many other races and origins, these were all considered “illegal immigrants” who were than provided naturalization of citizenship many many years after America” was founded. The immigration laws of this country were defined primarily based on race and national origin (meaning the government could pick and choose if you were a desirable person to allow legal citizenship of this country solely based on the color of your skin or the country you traveled from) up until 1965 when The Immigration and Nationality Act abolished the National Origins Formula that had been in place since 1924 which was actually just extended to include additional races from the very first ever immigration law that was passed called The Page Act of 1875 which primarily barred Asian women specifically Chinese women from entering the U.S. Previous to 1875, the only thing documented in regards to immigration was in 1790 that limited naturalization to “free white persons” and was only expanded to include “blacks” in 1860 and “Asians” in the 1950′s. So with a little research what you will find is that the majority of us natural “legal” citizens (because you were born within the borders of America) are here solely because of an”illegal” ancestor of yours risking their life and taking a chance to come to America illegally hoping to provide a better future for their descendants. Needless to say, it is evident that this country hasn’t appropriately handled immigration since we became America. I do believe with the new measures that have been put in place, future immigration will be handled more appropriately ensuring fairness and equality, but again, these measures really didn’t begin until 1965 and while they have come a long way there is still a long way to go. So, here’s the problem, currently in Illinois you have approximately 500,00 immigrants who some of you consider “illegal” but more importantly and probably more appropriately by our Constitution are however referred to as undocumented (not illegal), meaning they didn’t fill out the appropriate paperwork, didn’t file appropriately or have stayed beyond their visa so on and so forth. Of these approximately 250,000 of them are driving on your roads every single day without the appropriate education, without a drivers license and most of all without insurance. These undocumented drivers alone cause over 64 MILLION dollars in damage claims per year, that does not include the astronomical amount of medical expenses or the destruction of families and lives. More importantly, their lack of education takes thousands of lives every year. Those of you who are speaking out against this bill are jeopardizing your lives and the ones around you more than you will ever know. Your answer and the only resolution you have all had to offer thus far is deportation. Do you realize that these are UNDOCUMENTED immigrants, this means, until they screw up, they aren’t getting caught because they technically do not exist. In the 2 states that have already passed this bill, the number of undocumented immigrants being deported has significantly increased and is saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars which is why this bill has now been passed by the senate and is moving to the house in the state of Illinois which happens to be 1 of the 7 states that contains the majority of our undocumented immigrants in this nation. Some of you see this as giving somebody a right that they do not deserve, but most likely you are only a citizen yourself because you were born within this countries borders. The way I see it you are instead denying yourselves, your loved ones, your neighbor, your friend, and every citizen pf Illinois the right to drive safely down the road. Unfortunately deportation has proven to not be the solution to keeping your roads safe so it’s time to think outside of the box and view it from both sides of the fence. The other common thread I am seeing here is that “illegal” immigrants have more rights than you. While yes, they have rights as any human being does, they do not have anywhere near the rights you and I have as a citizen. In fact the only real rights they have in this country are as follows: Any publicly funded hospital cannot deny emergency care, they have the right to due process and protection by our laws, they may not have their homes illegally searched, and all CHILDREN have the right to a public education. They do not however have an identity, have the ability to work legally, have the ability to fly on airplanes, have the ability to apply for government assistance, have the right to vote, have the ability to open a bank account, start a business, cash a check, send money, etc. So I’m not sure what handouts you think they are getting when they don’t even have an identity in this country. From my families side of the fence, to put things into perspective for you let me share a little of what we deal with on a day to day basis. The man that hit my parents is apparently an undocumented immigrant who was all of 23 when he blew the stop sign that day, he has probably been living in Illinois for the majority of his life and is most likely still driving down the road unlicensed, uninsured and uneducated today. Now, here’s how this all works. The bike itself some what $25,000 totaled. My dads leg lost forever, the last 20 years of my moms memory and what I’ve known of her lost forever, her short term memory suffering forever, I’ve spent hundreds of hours fighting with insurance, government funded medicaid forced to pick up the remaining tab which essentially comes out of the tax payers pocket, my brothers struggling without the “mom” that once could care for them at their young ages, medical bills totaling in the millions and racking up higher and higher every therapy session, doctor appointment, surgery, prosthetic, and I could go on and on for many many hours. Now how it works for the guy that him, he gets 3 tickets (petty traffic violations) and since he is now documented in the system deportation will be flagged once the court stuff is completed. Technically we could waste thousands of dollars trying to sue him but it will obviously get us nowhere but further in debt. How this bill would have affected the situation differently. First and foremost he would have had the option to pay to receive a drivers education course then pay to receive a special 3 year license that in no way acts as a form of identification and cannot be used for things such as buying guns, purchasing plane tickets, voting or obtaining a job and he would have been required to purchase insurance thereby covering any medical or property damage expenses that my family has suffered. So, what if he didn’t do all of this? Well, Illinois has this law for citizens driving without a license, in a severe instance such as my parents, the court has the ability to assign a drivers license and immediately revoke or suspend it to bring further charges. What does that mean, if it were legal for him to obtain a drivers license, after the accident as opposed to 3 lousy tickets, they could have issued and revoked his drivers license making it a felony thereby putting him in jail and punishing him to the fullest extent. Now, I hope those of you that have not done the appropriate research necessary to fully understand immigration or this bill will see how necessary it is in regards to not only your life but all of ours. This isn’t being passed to give rights to the undeserving but rather to protect the rights of each and everyone of you.
