Why have so many immigrants been getting hit by cars?

So tell me... how do YOU know they are newcomers?  Do you run to the scene of the accident and ask, "Hey, did you just come to our country?"  Get real...

In California, we recently had "a day without Mexicans"... traffic was virtually painless, but... most of the businesses were closed.  \nIn just a city the size of LA, the economic implications, for labor and profit etc., are beyond explanation.\nWhat's going on is something that has been happening for hundreds of years... the only reason it is all of a sudden an "emergency" in the year 2006, is to take the focus off of the invasion of Iraq... and to keep simpler minds preoccupied with smaller issues. \nIt's the divide and conquer principle being driven upon us as Americans, who forget we are the offspring of immigrants, to distract us so we don't pay attention to the many different ways they are ransacking our future.

Because people is too freaking stupid to see pass their noses. Our nation was established by IMMIGRANTS! Jez!? Give me a break! I have friends who are immigrant workers and let me tell you been an immigrant is not easy at all, yes they do pay taxes, yes they do work their butts off doing what "little white boys" doesn't like to do! Immigrants are the reason why the US is the way it is, if it wasn't for them the US economy would drop inmensenly! I wish that all the immigrants did went back to their home countries...and I want to see the US survive! As soon as ALL the immigrants are gone the US is going to go downhill. Because the US depends of those immigrants as much as the immigrants depend of the US. It's a vicious cycle and you know what people....It's giving us the way of living that we have!

That is because they tend to be the ones who came here legally under an immigration system slanted intentionally to get skilled workers.   Middle class immigrants are a net benefit economically. Those are the ones who become citizens, typically.  \n\nOn the other hand, since middle class and wealthier people subsidize services such as education, health care and welfare for the poor, poor immigrants are a net economic drain even where they pay all taxes.  That is why their numbers are limited and is why the wait to get here is long.\n\nFor a better picture of immigrant economic impact overall, try this: http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back1405.html

its nuts, more people try to protect the criminals instead of the victims.  Now days if some one brakes into your house and hurts them selves doing it they can sue your ass for everything you have left.

Because most of them are going brain dead and don't realize that 1. It's a nuissance to the community, 2. It's a danger to themselves, their passengers, and other drivers because they can't hear emergency vehicles to get out of the way or other cars they are in danger of hitting, and 3. Playing the bass that loud in a car literally rattles the car apart costing them money to fix it repeatedly in the long run (not to mention the damage it does to surrounding buildings).  It's a shame that people who put these speaker systems in their vehicles haven't been taught better by their parents of the danger involved to their hearing, safety, and how ignorant it is toward others.  I've even seen mothers (mostly poor) driving around with their young children in vehicles with the sound so loud that their children now have hearing loss.  And the police claim it would take up too much of their time to go after these idiots to give them citations (in our area it's $100/offense--and no one has been cited).  The police in our area also realize that most of the people performing such a disservice to the community are also drug dealers who use loud car stereo systems to announce they are in the community to any buyers in ear-shot.  How dumb can you get?

It's called racial profiling. It's illegal, but it happens, and not just to minorities. I'm white and was driving in a predominately black neighborhood and was asked the same question!

By all accounts, we are putting them to work.  And that's fine with most people, especially the people who hire them.  So there is no problem.\n\nBut problems were made.  Because they became more numerous, they became more visible, and so they got more notice.  Eeek!  An immigrant!  Two, three, a dozen, right over there!\n\nNow we have to sort out frightened people's "concerns" against the economic benefits of having them here to do our crop picking, lawn care, babysitting and other low-end jobs.

The situation appears dire for the united states of America. Trends suggest that by 2026 there will be more immigrants entering the states than there are citizens every 3 years. Although the policy of removing immigrants is currently achieving results of exporting around 1 million per year these numbers are vastly outweighed by the organized crime syndicates finding ways of getting even more in. advice: lock up your daughters. Good luck America.

Well in recent years, we have had an alarming increase in the number of illegal immigrants. With so many people here illegally, it is becoming harder for us to accept legal immigrants into our country. Then there are some people who do not know the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant so there is a dislike of immigrants in general.

A.)Fewer Jobs-though this will become less and less of an issue as people commute long distances to work nowadays, and the knock-on acceptance is becoming more acute (remember the %of England's population which is non-white has gone from around 1% in the 1940s to around 6% today.\nB.)Recent immigrants tend to establish themselves where previous immigrants from the same place went, which is generally the cities (due to cheaper housing, more services, and more jobs).\nC.)Occasionally ethnic minorities are driven out of rural areas through intimidation (excrement through letterboxes, verbal abuse, etc.) or simple neglect from established communities\nD.)Ethnic minorities often have cultural practices or interests which are more difficult to pursue in rural areas than urban areas.

Because of a flood of people from Mexico who are here Illegally. That is who is coming in masses-meaning not invited. They are mostly of the Mexican nationality. The Race card is being played in this problem by some. They show a different flag and demand rights that are not theirs yet. And do not want to blend but change a language. \n\nGreeks-Italians-Irish-Polish-Swedish and many more at one time came in groups (most came expected-a few jumped the boat) but they adopted our culture our laws our language-they blended. Now some(in this case from Mexico) do not want to blend-they want their own Language-they want to follow what they believe is law and keep their culture. Now it becomes a Race Issue. None of the others did this-they wanted to belong in a orderly way they wanted to unite. They had struggles but they knew how do behave in a respectful way. That is why it is a Race issue

Now I totally agree with you...almost. Yes Mexicans make up 70% of the illegal "immigrant" population, but most of those I have been in contact with are good and courteous drivers. One HUGE problem is that they are nonchalant about rules...including drinking and driving. They don't take rules seriously, that is where there is a problem. But I must say that the people I see (and I've seen a lot) who are involved in hit-and-run accidents are of the Armenian population...But that's just because of the area of California I live in...it's not fair to say that Armenians are responsible for insurance costs going up...just like it's not fair for you to point out that Mexicans are responsible for it.

In certain states of the USA it is pending to get rasied. I believe California and Florida are asking for more, I'm not sure though, only because there is so many more immigrants nowadays.

becuase the government makes more money keeping them illegal. :)

There are just too many immigrants in the country that its own citizens couldn't make room for employment anymore. The best jobs should be first and foremost for the citizens of the country - now we have competition and the immigrants are bound to replace the Americans.\n\nWe all know the history behind Hitler's angst for the Jews - they are in a way doing the same thing and the Germans are being replaced. America would not let that happen anymore. We would not want another Hitler.\n\n Further, the lax implementation of the policies of the immigration has induced many foreign criminals to settle in the country. With the advent of technology cum plastic surgeries and as the power of money and connections takes control, the American nation see it fit to double check immigrants. \n\nBy the way, it's not realy getting rid. That's a bit too harsh I guess.:)
