"Motorcyclist killed by illegal alien. WOULD A LICENSED ILLEGAL HAVE GIVEN HIM A BETTER CHANCE?"

The Metro is one of those free "newspapers" whose main purpose is to provide movie listings.

"WOULD DRIVERS LICENSE REFORM HAVE GIVEN HIM A BETTER CHANCE?"

Talk about asking the wrong question.

Cruel Twist of Fate: David Berridge once described a day spent riding his Harley as a perfect day. He was killed by an "undocumented driver" while riding this bike from Santa Cruz to Monterey last October.	FReeper Motorcycle Hooligan

in which an estimated 2 million undocumented workers contribute to the economy
Bank robbers spend their money too thus contributing to the economy. Maybe we should give better training to them on how to rob "compassionately".
She was a CRIMINAL to begin with. If she had either been in jail or back in Mexico he wouldn't be dead.

[Bikers4Bush]

If things worked as they should her family would be deported while she served her prison time and then she'd be dropped at the border to meet them once her stint was done.

But of course we all know it won't work that way.

[Joe Bfstplk]

Probably will get double secret probation.

I ride a bike, you can put me on your ping list. Been on a cycle for 35 years. Have been in several accidents over the years, never my fault.

This should have never happened because illegal aliens should not be driving, in fact they should not even be here. In this I disagree with Bush and disagree with my "libertarian" friends.

The "if they had licenses and driver training they would be safe" argument is a pretty easy one to debunk. If it were true, there would never be an accident caused by a licensed, insured driver.

[martin_fierro]

Of course.

This is a prime example of a journalist bending over backwards to push her little agenda.

I don't know what makes me more disgusted... illegal aliens or articles like these that want illegal aliens to be accomadated. Just deport the damn illegals and get it over with.

Here it is:

"a mother of five with no husband "
and
"Luna's daughter Kelly, who has an as-yet-unassessed genetic syndrome, won't get vital therapy"

How is this person contributing to the U.S.? This is not someone who should be given citizenship. She is not married, does not speak English. She is having many children out of wedlock and drawing down social services. She is only going to be a drain on social services (read: increase your taxes and suck money away from your retirement, medicare and hospital services).

She is driving a car that is not registered to her and without a drivers license and I would bet without insurance. She killed one person in a traffic accident and injured many others, including her own children.

The state of California already has probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her and her actions in the U.S. so far.

The kind of person who is an ideal candidate for immigration brings some important skill that is missing here. We need doctors, engineers, scientists, business people that provide jobs... not tomato pickers that drive down the labor costs below teenager wages.

They argue that denying these workers a license in a state where everyone drives heightens everybody's risk on the roads, since an unlicensed, undocumented driver is, by definition, also untrained and uninsured.

There are many Americans who don't qualify for a driver's license due to being too young, too elderly, bad eyesight, physical disabilities, poor driving record, etc. If a person does not have the legal right to drive, then they should stay off of our roads. In California, illegal alien lawbreakers do not have the legal right to drive so they should stay off of our roads. If the illegal alien driver in the article had not been on the road driving, the motorcyclist she killed would still be alive today.

Words fail me.

Sarah Phelan is Psychotic.

[Old Professer]

This woman has caused more damage than a suicide bomber; I think they should send her back to Mexico for safekeeping.

[B4Ranch]

Thanks for posting what I was thinking.

[Liberty Valance]

Deport her and her children now.
