These guys should shut up for their own good.

Californians, and Americans all over the country, are completely fed up with illegal immigration. Even moderates are becoming angry with the way our government allows this to go on, at a time when Grandma gets strip-searched at the airport.

Something will be done...sooner, rather than later, I suspect.

All vehicles registered in the state of California are required to be insured at all times. Therefore an uninsured vehicle parked on a public street could be subject to impoundment, this according to the Los Angeles Police Department -- (877) 275-5273

Strike the 'registered'.... replace with 'present'.

C'mon, insurance? Illegals even if able to get licenses wont bother to insure a car.

Sheesh. I'm glad it's not that way in Texas. In Texas you're only required to have insurance on the vehicle if it's actually moving.

Mexico is a corrupted and anarchic society, and the inmigrants that invade California bring along this behavior.

That's exactly right. In Mexico they're actually supposed to have drivers' licenses too --- but they don't. They're used to paying their cops a little mordida and now they find that system doesn't work here. Of course if the Mexican politicians in California have anything to do with it, they soon will have that system in place.

Not everywhere in Texas. In El Paso city limits who cannot have a car that doesn't run and if a car runs it's supposed to be licensed --- at least this is the law for citizens. I know people who actually had to go out and show the cops that their cars could start.

They'll hit pay dirt if they go to Santa Ana.

"Maywood is 99.9 percent hispanic......." I wonder why that is.

If you have to let your insurance lapse until you can come up with enough money, there's nothing wrong with just letting your car sit in a parking space until you do.

Depends on where it's parked. If it's in your driveway, a private garage, or otherwise on private property, then you are correct that you don't need for it to be insured, registered, or have a license plate on it.

Depending on the town, parking on a public street may be a different story. In Pennsylvania, for example, it is illegal to park an uninsured vehicle on a public road, so a parking enforcement agent COULD go down the row of cars on the street and have towed any which showed up as uninsured. The most likely reason for not doing that here iis that the two cities with the major problem with uninsured motorists are Democrat strongholds, and the uninsured motorists are mostly Dems.

These illegals are at the bottom of the economic barrel. The BS spread by these squatter advocates about them yearning to get insurance is hilarious. A driver's license is a defacto national ID card.... these detestable leeches could care less about insurance. They want licenses in order to avoid scrutiny that could result in their much warranted forced removal, to scam the system, etc. These losers wouldn't buy insurance even if they could afford to.

In fact the entire premise of this EFE article is a laugh. They try to use the dreamt-up catch-all term 'Hispanic' instead of 'Mexican invaders', who are the real culprits here, to try to convince the reader that somehow all Spanish speakers are being unduly discriminated against. Frankly I don't personally know a single legal Venezuelan or Spanish (as in from Spain) immigrant who needs to be included in some 'protected species' program dictated by vile Mexican nationalists who have found their way into the state legislature to try and hide these intruders, but I do know of many Spanish, Venezuelan, Costa Rican, and Chilean legal immigrants who are livid over the monopolization of the bogus term 'Hispanic' by a bunch of sleazy Mexican criminals. They don't appreciate being arbitrarily included in their bloodsucking lot.

Great cartoon, but I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

[sweetliberty]

I know what you mean.

As a US citizen living in CT, if I'm stopped while driving a car and cannot produce a drivers license, I'm ticketed, have to appear in court, my car is towed and impounded.

Big deal. That's why I drive with a license.

Why should these law-breakers get a pass?
