There's nothing that anyone could do for them, and they were most often stuck with a jacked up car, and no money to fix it, due to the fact that an illegal immigrant, obviously with no license or insurance, T-boned them at an intersection.

It's just a single example of an occurance that happens DAILY in the greater PHX area, but that and a multitude of other instances have given me a negative stand-point on this particular topic.

I'm sure you all understand!
The problem you're citing isn't illegal immigration, it's bad/unlicensed/uninsured drivers. You know why those people aren't insured/licensed? 'Cause if they try to get a license/training, they'll be deported. If anything, what you're describing is a symptom that would be alleviated if we grant amnesty to illegals.

'Course, amnesty for all illegals might open the floodgates with people that think "all I gotta do it get over the border and I'm a citizen", which is not what I'm proposing or supporting.
