Heh. Gotta love the raving about uninsured motor vehicle operators.
First off, insurance is invalidated if the operator has no license. Just one of those tricky little details your insurance agent kinda forgot to mention, but it's there in the fine print.
Second, states who insist that auto insurance carry no-fault provisions nullify the whole argument, and is really what the public should insist upon from their own state legislators. If you pay for insurance, you're covered, even if the other guy has none. It's a helluva lot more effective to regulate insurance companies than to attempt to enforce insurance requirements on literally tens of millions of people who don't have any, citizens or not.
All of which is really peripheral to the issue at hand, but Righties will grasp at any straw to maintain denial, uphold their self righteous indignation, revel in what they think is some sort of moral superiority...
I think it's also important to realize that the Constitution was written in a time when there were no immigration laws, at least not in the US, no citizenship tests, no background checks, none of it. People got off the boat, declared themselves to be citizens of their new country, and they were.
I realize that times change, but it seems unlikely that the people who created and ratified the Constitution and the bill of rights would have favored our current way of determining who can and cannot immigrate. Anybody who's gone through it will tell you that it's designed mostly to prevent immigration rather than to facilitate it in any rational sort of way. That, and the fact that american business loves illegal labor are the reasons we have as many illegal immigrants as we do...
But, rave on- express your xenophobia and prejudice, justify it any way you can, try to forget that most of your ancestors were immigrants themselves...
