A large percentage of the uninsured. In CT where I live, we read about at least 3 per day who 1.) Are driving drunk to the point of complete intoxication where they have run into something, drove at 3am with no headlights, etc. 2.) Are cited for driving with no insurance, no registration and no drivers license. All are described as a "resident" of Danbury, CT but never described as "undocumented immigrant", "migrant" or "illegal alien".

I was rear-ended by one of these wonderful additions to the U.S. economy. She was speeding through our neighborhood and hit my car as I was backing out of my driveway. I called the cops to file a report. No license, no "seguros", and and expired registration. I paid my deductible, and my carrier boosted my rate! If it had been me driving irresponsibly, my name would've been emblazened all over the newspapers. There was not even a mention which would lead me to believe no penalty was imposed on the tortfeasor.
