The two subjects are only related in cases where a State is giving illegals drivers licenses, such as California.
Illegal immigrants can get driver's licenses under new California law
Illegal immigration has gone on for so long, that in some areas, Politicians are now forced to pander to them for votes. (Wait, what?!
) But aside from the issue of citizenship privledges like a drivers license to non-citizens, drunk driving isn't related.
As to illegal immigration itself, so that those accross the pond might understand why this is a bugbear for some:
- economically its a problem because they undercut wages, and causes a strain to entitlements without contribution in the form of taxes.
- Politically and socially its a problem because in the case of illegals crossing from the southern border, 8 or 9 times out of 10, they do not integrate into our society. That, is the real crux of the problem at the end of the day.It's not the color of their skin, it's what they do.
Personally, I judge by actions seen. To best understand, let me explain it at a baser level:
Let's say your at your home in the evening cooking dinner. Then out of nowhere, this rather large family has dropped by unannounced. You look out your front door, and you see one of them using your garden hose (and hence your water) to wash their car in your driveway, without asking. Then you see their kids running riot, coloring all over your houses walls with crayons, while "cute", you have paper for that. Turning around into the backyard, you see a few have started using your propane to grill and have started cooking in your backyard. While it smells good, you didn't recall saying it was ok to use your propane, and in fact, you normally use charcoal for this purpose. Your own dinner being almost ready to eat, you set your own table. Your uninvited guests have then set themselves at your table, and then demand you say grace at your own table when it is not your custom to doing so. Would you not be a little angry? Now expand that in scale, from your house, to your country, and there you have it. It's the lack of intergration into the metaphorical household.
