Driving While Immigrant

On June 17, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a slate of reforms to its Secure Communities program that director John Morton said are about prioritizing its limited resources and "making sure we focus on those people it makes the most sense to remove." In reality they amount to a political attempt to salvage Obama's flagship immigration program, which despite a multimillion-dollar mandate to target "dangerous criminal aliens," has been undermined by ICE's own data, which show that the majority of those it deports have no criminal record or were charged with minor offenses like traffic tickets. Critics argue that the program has re-established racial profiling as a legitimate policing practice. If the 1990s catchphrase was "Driving While Black," now it could be "Driving While Immigrant."

We have laws in this country. This is what separates the savage 3rd world countries from the civilized countries. If you break the law, you deserve to be punished. Seems like you Mexicans don't understand that concept.

Deportation of illegal people in this country is the only solution. ILLEGAL. They should have rights as far as being a human, but not as far as our laws go for citizens

We are missing the big picture here…being in the U.S illegally IS A CRIME!! He is illegal. Since he is illegal, he shouldn’t have ever been issued a drivers license to begin with. Try sneaking into some Middle Eastern country and try to live there and see what they will do to you. Only in the U.S can we hide behind bullshit Civil Rights loopholes. If you are not a Resident or a National/Citizen of this country, you shouldn’t even have Civil Rights.
