Illegal Aliens Causing Chaos on the Roads

The illegal alien crisis is causing chaos on the streets of tiny De Queen, Arkansas, which averages one accident every week involving Hispanic drivers without licenses, many of whom apparently don't know how to drive.

According to Mayor Billy Ray McKelvy, the problem is not Hispanics in general, but specifically illegal immigrants, who usually don't have driver licenses — or insurance. Many are repeat offenders, whose cars are impounded for only a week or two when they get caught. One has collected six misdemeanor citations for driving without a license. Says McKelvy:

I think this is becoming a problem all over the country.

The average amount of damage per vehicle in these accidents was estimated at $3,000 — just one of the many costs of not defending our territorial integrity. Some apparently believe that we make it all back by driving down labor costs, but that's not much consolation to those whose pay is being driven down.
