Reconquistas Dismantling CA's Auto Safety Protections (by Brenda Walker at vdare.com)

A terrific piece by Brenda Walker at vdare.com!

The reconquistas are in full gear trying to protect Federal lawbreakers known as illegal aliens. There's no need to repeat the "why" of it.

My hope is that the few law-abiding Californians left here will put a stop to all this, but I don't see that happening.

Mexifornia is in the news again because its Democratic-controlled State Senate has just passed a bill banning cops from checking the status of most illegal aliens stopped for other reasons. That’s the direct opposite of a now-upheld provision in Arizona’s SB 1070 (hence it’s called the “anti-Arizona” law) and arguably conflicts with federal law—but don’t expect the Obama regime to sue.

However, this is just part of the Reconquista strategy to elect a new people in California. Thus public safety has been taking a real pounding in recent months—and at the hands of elected officials who are supposed to protect, not endanger, the populace.

Los Angeles' Mexican-friendly Mayor Villaraigosa and his Police Chief Charlie Beck launched an assault on one aspect of normal law enforcement last December: They announced a new city procedure under which the vehicles belonging to unlicensed drivers would no longer be automatically seized and held for a month.

Those involved readily admitted the change was to benefit illegal aliens a.k.a. undocumented Democrats, as indicated in a Los Angeles Times headline: With illegal immigrants in mind, LAPD to change impound rules (By Joel Rubin and Paloma Esquivel, 14, 2011).

It’s really inconvenient for illegal aliens to have to get along without a car for a month. Chief of Police Beck became major spokesman for lawbreaking, dutifully touting the new policy as “humane,” arguing "This is an extreme hardship on many people"—by which he meant the lawbreaking foreigners who have stolen jobs from citizens.

Because, contrary to propaganda, deportations have fallen to new lows under the Obama regime, vehicle impounds have been a rare instance of illegal aliens being punished in today’s California. Taking hazardous unlicensed drivers off the road by removing their cars and trucks for a month has afforded a small degree of protection for the public. However, with towing and storage fees running around $1200, some illegals just buy a replacement clunker to get back on the road faster.

In contrast, the BBC reports that in Gainesville, Florida, many illegals began taking taxis to work—responding to a new state law that allows police to check immigration status during traffic stops. (Others, of course, choose to “self-deport.”) many illegals began taking taxis to work

The point: illegals are not forced to drive without a license; other choices exist.

Make no mistake: unlicensed drivers are dangerous people to have on the road. A 2008 study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that, nationwide, unlicensed drivers were involved in one in five fatal crashes. The number of deaths from auto crashes has been around 40,000 annually for a couple decades, so the fatalities from unlicensed drivers must therefore be approximately 8,000 Americans every year.

This last paragraph is most alarming. I haven't seen these stats before. 1 on 5 fatal accidents involve unlicensed drivers, most of them illegal aliens.
