Undercover officer's car rammed, causing fatal accident
An undocumented immigrant rammed into the car of an undercover narcotics officer Tuesday night, causing an accident that left a Phoenix woman dead, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

Maybe you have to live here to understand the illegal immigrant problem. This POS had already been deported 4 times! Now a mother of three is dead and do you think the "murderer" had a license or insurance? We have enough problems with the natives here and I'm starting to agree with Sheriff Joe.

connecting different issues.

A citizen in the same situation would have the spotlight shone more directly on substance abuse, since the guy had been throwing beer bottles out of his window and there was some cocaine found in his car.

What if the crash was caused by a high school student-- I doubt you'd blame it on No Child Left Behind.

It's tragic, but turning it into an illegal immigration question is absurd, and disgusting.

2. I'm more concerned with a DL and insurance
I know that many citizens don't have them either, but you know that an illegal doesn't. Do you ever wonder why our car insurance rates in Arizona are among the highest in the country?

3. I know why, and it's because car theft rates in AZ are among the highest in the country
And much of that can be blamed on meth-heads.

And you know, if we had a guest worker program of any kind, illegal immigrants could get a provisionary driver's license and also pay insurance. Foot dragging being done by both sides of the Senate for not getting everything they want and nothing the other side wants is keeping a first step forward in this from ever happening.
