Black Box Report

A note on the practicality of making the Minutemen and Lou Dobbs happy: For those who believe if you make life intolerable for the roughly 12 undocumented aliens in this country, they'll just go home - some cities are trying to do just that. The latest focus is going after their cars. First, they took away their right to get a license - now they tow their cars if they're pulled over.

If anyone really thinks this will stop illegals from driving - you're delusional. In many cases they've been scared off from public transportation, so driving to work is their only perceived alternative. And drive to work they will because above all else they've come here to work. So consider the inevitable consequence; illegal immigrant drives car, without license and therefore without insurance. When they get into an accident or are pulled over, you guessed it, they step on the accelerator, risking your safety - and the safety of law enforcement agents - as they flee.

Cracking down on immigrants has become popular sport but too often, the ones making the rules haven't thought things through.
