Only in America
The Oakland Tribune reports today that Oakland Police have had to curtail their DUI roadblocks after complaints from Latino organizations that the roadblocks are ensnaring too many illegal immigrants.
Let me see if I have this right. One of the reasons automobile insurance in California is so high is due to the huge numbers of uninsured drivers running about the streets without licenses or any form of liability insurance. Every legal California resident who drives will know what I mean by high insurance rates. This affects you irrespective of your skin color, ethnicity, native language or style of dress. If you are a legal driver in California, you pay through the nose.
But organizations such as Oakland Community Organizations and Oakland City Council President, Ignacio de la Fuente are outraged that Police Officers would demand proof of registration, a driver's license and proof of insurance from illegal immigrants. Arrrgh!
In the short term, the Oakland Police Chief has agreed to notify Latino community organizations of the checkpoint locations and times of operation in advance. Does anything about this strike you as silly beyond belief?
America needs immigration. The vast majority of Hispanic immigrants to this country are hard working family people. But a society can only survive as long as it follows rules and those rules are applied with justice to all segments of society. I have immigrant friends from several countries that had to spend years waiting for visas to even get here.
Now, apparently there is a new immigration policy. Get here illegally and you will have a substantial advantage over legal immigrants and residents. You don’t have to get a driver’s license, you don’t have to pay for auto insurance, we’ll pay to educate your kids and we’ll even pay for your health care.
Why aren’t these idiots like Ignacio pressing for a Constitutional Amendment to allow illegal immigrants to run for President? This is so far beyond the pale I cannot even think of an adjective for it.
