OT News Article; Your Tax Dollars At Work - An illegal alien who can legally sue OT

Seems to me they followed the law. Unless the compensation law says "legal residents only" it applies to everyone living in the state. As for the cops not arresting the driver for not having insurance and up to date registration, I would assume that giving a ticket is standard procedure in those cases. I see nothing illogical in the courts reasoning.

Now there's a surprise.

I think the $$ due to Caballero should be divided up between the victims of the thousands of US citizens who are maimed in that state every year by Mexicans & other illegals who operate vehicles in a negligent & often drunken manner, usually without insurance or insurance papers which are as bogus as their SS cards. It happens every day here in Houston. I remember a nasty wreck I was in a few years ago when I saw a Hispanic male in an older Chebby truck speed past me on the freeway at about 90 mph, weaving through traffic. He then clipped a Honda, which spun sideways across the freeway, hit the guard rail, and bounced off into me, just as I was skidding to a stop. As usual with Mexicans, the jerk did not even slow down. The young white woman, who was in no way at fault, had insurance, which paid for my car, thank God. Her car was demolished beyond repair, but she was not seriously injured.

We should adopt The Limbaugh laws: Give Mexican nationals living in the US the exact same treatment given US citizens by Mexico!

Better yet, adopt Mexican immigration laws. LOL

Tell me where they did not follow the law and what was illogical.

Alex, you don't have the least bit of common sense do you. The surprise and illogical part is that you're willing to support payments by taxpayers for someone in this country illegally and given the right to sue the state of New Jersey for an accident his illegal alien buddy was 100% responsible for. He had no medical insurance, so he was treated by the hospital free of charge. His buddy was driving with expired registration and no vehicle insurance... imagine that. How did the driver get a drivers license anyway? The only justifiable solution to this whole thing is if the hospital now sues the illegal for payment for medical services... he and his ambulance chasing lawyer will walk out of court room with up to $15,000 and the hospital will just have to collect the $38,300 by tacking increases on to patients who can pay or have health insurance. I feel this way regardless if the injured person is illegal alien or a legal citizen, why should a person not have to reimburse the hospital for saving his life. But, they won't see a dime, because this illegal alien is probably already back on the run in another state.

I realize that this is acceptible by residents in your state which is rapidly become majority Mexican, but in rest of the country it isn't. They can't build that wall fast enough. What we need in this country are HUGE fines ($20,000 minimum for each illegal hire) for any business that hires illegal aliens. If a company knows they could be ruined by hiring illegals, that's going to keep Pedro off the payroll unless he's gone through the steps to be here legally.

If one is at any scene illegally, then all actions on his behalf are moot irregardless of "fault," etc.

Example: A citizen with a suspended driver's license has an accident. His insurance company ain't gonna pay! And the guv'ment is going to drag him to court.

Example: One here illegally has an accident. Same effect in both directions with the addition that the illegal would now also be subject to prosecution from multiple entities.

Liberalism and common sense is an oxymoron. Seldom will the two merge successfully.

As with many conservatives, you go off on a tangent and imagine what I'm thinking. All I asked for was to show me where the court did not follow the law and what I said that was illogical. You failed in both areas.

So by your version of common sense, if an illegal alien is murdered , then the police should not work on the crime since it is "moot"?

> >>>>

So then you approve of the ruling. You obviously don't think there is anything wrong with the law and that the illegal alien is entitled to receive compensation from the state government. Do you believe that his payment from the state should be used to pay for his hospital bills? It's people like you are part of the imigration problem, the "oh well... since you're alrady here, Welcome to America" crowd.

I wouldn't put it on the front burner.

Lee, I didn't mean to get involved, but I did not see him say he "approved", just noted the judge followed the law. i.e.I don't approve of a murderers getting off because of a unconstitutional searchs, or of the Nazi's marching in my town or the anti gay religious kooks protesting at troops funerals with signs saying "Your Marine deserved to die", it's that pesky constitutions fault. It has to be applied fairly to everyone, rather we like the result or not.

Yeah, but did you notice that he does not come across as disapproving of the ruling either. Why wasn't the INS there when this illegal was released from the hospital to ship his ass back to Mexico? Probably because he had some ACLU lawyer standing next to him.

Some things people do just finding themselves asking to get their ass beat (the funeral protestors for example).

IMNSHO, the judge did not follow the law. Rulings get overturned nearly every day. The only law(s) that should apply to illegals are those that deal with violations beginning with the illegal entry.

The INS is still practicing "Catch 'n Release" no matter how hard they spin it in the opposite sense.

All I can say is that I dearly hope that most of the House version of immigration reform will stick. The Senate's version brinks on treason...

Uh-oh!

No need for concern, I'm heading to North Dakota at 6:00 a.m. and won't be back until June 6th. Laptop is staying home, cell phone is being turned off once I get out of my home range and the motel/hunting lodge where I'm staying will not have internet access. I'm time-traveling back to 1985 (except for gas prices) for the next 10 days and am going to enjoy every minute of it. Gonna be playing with a 1955 (2nd series) Chevy 1/2 ton pickup and a 1941 Case Model S tractor in between a high school graduation and dad's estate sale. Hope to get some walleye fishing and beer drinking in as well with some friends back home, more than like both at the same time.
