You are right about most of it . However I for one do not want my government
having to flip the bill for un insured illegals. That is my tax money they
would be spending . Them illegals have no assests that can be grabbed . An
American citizen is subject to prison time in most states for driving
without a DL or insurance . Where I live any 3 traffic offenses in 3 years
will get you 2 years in prison plus the fine. This of coarse does not apply
to illegals or people with enough money to pay off the lawyer and his
buddies.
