Reply #6: I hope you're not implying anything with your last sentence.

If so, you are mistaken.

Please see my previous posts on this matter.

Once again: the operative word is "legal". BTW, the U.S. is still one of the easiest countries to enter legally for almost any legal reason.

edited to add: My wife brought up an interesting point. Auto insurace is required virtually everywhere in the U.S. Every policy I've seen - I also called a friend who is a P&C agent to confirm - denies claims incurred while the driver is engaged in illegal activity. If one is in this country illegally, the very act of being here is the continuing commission of a crime. Therefore, the operation of a vehicle would be done during the commission of a crime.

I wonder how long it will take the insurance industry to pick up on this to deny claims. If and when they do, I'll wager that some understanding folk will become less so when involved in an accident involving an illegal immigrant ruled at fault.
