The Other Denver: "Hispanics" Haunted by Specter of Deportation (license, pro illegals)

“Now, if you’re driving without a license, they’ll take your car and you have no way of getting it back without papers,” says Ruiz.

Sergio Carvajal has lived in Denver for 10 years. He likes the city but says the community has felt the effects of the convention and the large police presence.

“People are intimidated. We’re not used to seeing so many police on the street,” says Carvajal, “especially now with the problem of undocumented and driver’s licenses.”

On Aug. 12 Denver county passed an ordinance that allows authorities to confiscate a car if the driver doesn’t have a driver’s license, or if authorities suspect that he or she is undocumented.

Interesting that the "community" is in fear of the police. If you're not here illegally, then you have nothing to fear. They know that being here and driving without the legal right or permission to do so is a CRIME .

Who said that attrition through enforcement doesn't work?

There should not be two americas -- one for citizens whereby driving without a license and insurance would mean having your car towed and having you severely fined, and another for illegals where the same scenario would have the illegal escape all responsibility and fall out for breaking the law.
And pro illegals wonder why people are getting fed up with this crowd of entitled law breakers.

Dead on and ITA. The fact that they continue to demand citizenship, and the benefits that should only be reserved for Americans, while not wanting the responsibility that comes along with it just floors me every single time.

We can't pick and choose which laws we wish to adhere to or whether or not we pay taxes. We have to accept the good with the bad along with the majority rule. Yet they expect us to make everything convenient so that they can have it both ways.

What's the problem? As long as the legal aliens do as they're supposed to do which means reporting address changes and have their papers with them, then why would they worry? Illegals only need to face going home again.
