A New Civil Right Discovered!
Posted By Paul Nachman On 29 January 2008

According to the Birmingham News [Unlicensed driver laws on increase, by Kent Faulk, January 27, 2008], police in a number of Alabama cities may now impound the car when they make a traffic stop and discover the driver is unlicensed.

The times being what they are, this sensible policy naturally provokes bleating from … can you guess?

[quote]Critics contend such laws are aimed at intimidating illegal immigrants, who aren’t allowed to get driver’s licenses.

“It seems to be a good ploy, `We’re going to make life difficult for you in the United States,’â€

[quote]Guerrero contends the laws violate the rights of children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants. “Those children who are riding in that car are U.S. citizens,â€

Guerrero isn’t explicit about it, but apparently it’s a constitutional right for us citizens–anchor babies included, unfortunately–to ride in cars! Can entitlement to a new car every couple of years be far behind?

I think most folks think that driving is a privilege, not a right. As far as I know driving a car is not in the constitution.

Guerrero must think that hispanics never visit united states and bring thier babies just for a visit.He must think every hispanic adult is illegal.If these assumptions were being made by me they would be considered racist.
