I think the most infuriating thing about the Garden City article and many other stories around the country swirls around the usual accusations but actually follows a lot of common sense. In Garden City they saw a problem. Unlicensed drivers and/or those with no insurance on the streets. As many posters have pointed out in this forum when an accident occurs, you or the insurance company are left to fit the bill because the other person has no insurance or license. Ultimately everyone paying insurance premiums covers the cost.
Now there are the Garden City Hispanic advocates that act the same way as other Hispanic advocacy groups around the country. The theme is that the laws or stricter enforcement is "anti-immigrant, anti-Hispanic, or racist." Then they start having marches,
PR campaigns, or other types of campaigns to suppress enforcement then the problem just keeps growing and growing until you end up with our current problem of 12 million illegals in the US moving state to state. ID theft is on the increase, criminal gangs such as MS13 are increasing, losses to businesses are increasing, and citizens are screaming for something to be done. Rather than calling our citizens or elected officials racist or anti-whatever to get enforcement to stop, how about helping people become legal the right way. Give education classes, help with filing the necessary paperwork, etc.
Sorry about the soapbox but it really irks me that the race card gets pulled time and time again. The law is the law and it is that simple. The law is meant to maintain civilized society and bring those that break it back into compliance, hence punishment. If you break the law, cowboy the heck up, don't blame society for your own shortcomings, and don't accuse everyone else of being a racist because you choose not to follow the law.
