“I think that when someone comes in this country illegally, it starts a tradition or culture,... they come in illegally; everything they do from that point on is illegal. And so it's almost impossible to get a driver’s license or insurance so they just start breaking one law after another. I think it’s seductive. I think after a while ... they don't pay too much attention to rule of law that this country was established on.”
‘THERE'S NOT MUCH TO BE DONE...’
According to one policeman, 'We do a lot of this kind of thing and we can tell you that there's not much to be done about it.’
The maximum penalty the man could have faced for driving without a license, a misdemeanor, would be 30 days in jail. Driving without insurance is only a ticketable offense.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
Not only would YOUR own insurance company have to absorb the cost for repairing YOUR vehicle, but the other illegal immigrant driver was soon going to be back on the streets like nothing happened.

I would go after the person who was insuring and registering the vehicle at the time.. It's up to the owner of a vehicle to secure their vehicle and not let people who are not licensed to operate it drive it all over.. Just because it was an illegal driving doesn't mean it was a stolen car(as implied by a previous answerer) many people who are legal citizens let their family drive their vehicles while their family is here trying to make a new start.....If there was no report made that the car was stolen then most likely that claim wont hold up in court if they try to say so as a defense as to why they shouldn't have to pay..but clearly the owner of the car is at the very least guilty of negligence because they knew that being an illegal you cant obtain a proper license

I couldn't agree with you more on this. It's disgusting how this country has closed it's eyes to the problem for so long. I just got hit by an illegal alien about a week and a half ago. He of course didn't have a license. He got arrested on the spot under ARS 28-1595.B (failure to prove proper identification) he had a Mexican driver's license which the cop suspected was fake. So now, I'm stuck with my deductible and out of pocket costs for towing and a rental. Yeah you could say, well get better insurance but insurance is already high enough if it wasn't for all the accidents these illegals are causing here in Arizona.
Summer, why should we make it easier for a criminal to live a life here? THEY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING OF THE LAW?

Summermoondancer...are you on CRACK? You have completely missed the point here.
He is not asking after the fact...but about the entire problem, and how can we remedy it. Not just one incident.
One way is to impound all vehicles when the driver causes an accident and has no insurance. (notice NO mention of Mexicans, Illegals, etc. This is fair across the board.) Another is to prosecute any dealership or private individual who sells to an illegal, taking away their business or applying a heavy fine.
Summermoondancer, this question was not about you. It was about ILLEGAL immigrants, car accidents, how to avoid the whole situation, or remedy it since it's already so commonplace.
While it's a shame you were hit and they guy was an obvious scumbag, it's still not the point of this particular discussion.

I live in an area that has been flooded with illegal immigrants. I know several people who have been hit by a car driven by an illegal immigrant without a license or insurance. Sadly, many people only carry liability insurance and are left with no way to get there car repaired. This is one of many problems we deal with as a result of the abundance of illegal immigrants in north Texas.

summermoondancer is ignorant.
We ALL pay higher rates because of uninsured drivers. Why add to the numbers with MILLIONS of uninsured illegal aliens?
I myself had an incident after my wife was hit by an illegal alien with fake insurance...guess who paid the deductible after putting it on our insurance...we did...all $500 worth. If she had been hurt or killed it would have been all on us too. I repeat...we ALL pay for this through increased insurance premiums...
It really hits home when you pay something out of pocket because of someone that SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE, MUCH LESS DRIVING!!!
I can sympathize with those that have lost loved ones due to illegal alien drivers too...summermoondancer is obviously ignorant and uneducated in this matter...or playing dumb on purpose, more likely the latter. She tends to defend ALL illegal aliens...even a CHILD RAPIST....unbelievable..this is a must read...read the best answer by whiz here's the link...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap4Ft6BNGenfpi3uQZEIJcDty6IX?qid=20070719190347AAPQSTF&show=7#profile-info-Z0qxXhp0aa

The illegals should be arrested, held without bond, convicted, fined and sentenced to prison for the maximum time. After his time has been served, he should be deported, pronto! Any illegal who is caught should be fined $5,000 and have to spend at least 60 days in prison doing hard labor.

i agree with the poster and ryan p living in arizona the illegals with no insurance is a huge cost to us people that pay for insurance thats why arizona has the second highest insurance rates in the states..when i lived in oregon i had top of the line insurance with no deductible when i moved to arizona i had to drop it to minimual coverage with a 500 deductible and it was still 4x as expensive monthly and that was with the same company in both states

Might I suggest rope and some vaseline?
Not for that, you sick puppy!!!
Use the rope to tie his sorry illegal butt to a tree in the middle of nowhere, with only the jar of vaseline (strategically placed just out of reach) to keep his imagination busy.
EDIT: summer had 800,000 dollars worth of "injuries"? What the hell did he d, kill her and all 18 of her anchor babies?
