NYC cycling update
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.3545213 We need sensible regulation, dammit. Drunk driving ought to be against the law. Anyone piloting a motor vehicle on a public road should have to pass a skills competence test and a written statute-based test and then carry a document with their picture on it. More laws! Yep that oughta do it. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

This is why I believe that any city or state that becomes a "illegal alien sanctuary" should both lose all Federal Funding but the people who vote this in should be charged as criminals and imprisoned. |

Those topics may overlap, but they are not one and the same. The guy in your article is Hispanic, but I didn't see that he was in the U.S. illegally. For the record: I'm not in favor of illegal immigration any more than I'm in favor of drunk driving. But I haven't heard much here about really practical ways of stopping either. I'm not impressed by arguments that say things like "Here's a guy who committed a crime despite a law, so laws do no good." If someone makes such an argument, I think it's fair to ask them what _should_ be done. -- - Frank Krygowski |

In fact, it was Trump who served him the beer and margaritas and told him to mix it up with some liberals on bikes.

In a March 2011 report titled "Criminal Alien Statistics, Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs", the Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimated, based on a random sample it had performed, that the criminal aliens it studied had an "average of 7 arrests, 65 percent were arrested at least once for an immigration offense, and about 50 percent were arrested at least once for a drug offense." This means that of the criminal aliens GAO studied, the average alien who had been arrested at least once was arrested seven times; simply put, criminal aliens generally commit other crimes. Drunk driving is an offense that is particularly prone to repetition. According to MADD statistics, "an average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest" and "every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes" and "about one-third of all drivers arrested or convicted of drunk driving are repeat offenders." Any individual who is arrested for DUI or DWI has likely, therefore, driven drunk tens of times before, and has an extremely high chance of doing so again. But this is all a joke and should be demonstrated with sarcasm - right? |

We don't disagree fundamentally. My grandparents all endured a 40 day quarantine, had to provide a destination address and person responsible for them plus assurance they would not be a public charge. My son in law, a licensed engineer, spent 8 years and a heap of trouble to become naturalized, as did two friends (both educated professionals). I have sponsored visas for immigrants through my company and hired others. That said, there seems to be no lower limit or much of any limit now for the open borders policy, richly exploited by various and sundry scum from IRGC to MS13 and so on. Whatever policy may exist on paper, in practice it's a mess. Oh, and unreasonably, unfairly, inefficiently and flippantly random such that hotel maids get deported but dope dealers and other criminals bring the whole village in. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
