Is it true that there is a "spot" in many towns down there where the illegals line up on the sides of the road for work?

all over the place here. typically in front of Home Depot. contractors love them. these guys are hustlers. ive never seen one of them sitting at a freeway onramp holding a sign saying theyre desperate please give me your money.  see lots of white folks, and occassionally black folks doing that. not to sound racist or anything but its true. you never see a white or black dude hanging out in front of Home Depot looking to bust his ass for $5 an hour.  theyd rather just stick their hand out. not to say there arent white and black guys who bust their asses doing manual labor, there are plenty. im just talking about the ones who'd rather complain there is no work when there sure as hell is plenty.

No, that will mean more of them driving without licenses and insurance. Then our insurance rates go up because our insurance compnies take the hit for all of the "illegals" that don't pay up for accidents.
Wow...Justification is great isn't it? You make anything look good...Even illegal activity...
I suppose since there are murderers we should get rid of the law on murder...
Nah, rather we tighten the law and make it harder for them. Strengthen the border...Ever heard of the Minutemen? Yep, going on right now...Search for it...

Yeap. It's often just a little spot on the side of the road, but some towns even go as far as to build a covered area or even a building for them to protect them from the elements.

I guess in southwest it's for illegals, but every city has places where bums and what not go to get picked up to work.

I don't disagree that we shouldn't make it harder for them to get here. But denying them licenses isn't going to do that. Do you really think they're going to sit on the other side of the border and go "Damn, I'd really like to cross this border illegaly, but I can't get a driver's license over there, so I guess I won't."
Of course not. They're going to come anyway. They're going to drive anyway. You might as well make sure that the ones driving at least do that part legally for the safety of everyone else on the roads.
My only problem with giving them driver's licenses is that once you have that, you can do pretty much anything you want, as it's a much more widely accepted form of identification than anything else. And, since you can't get insurance without a license, we're just going to have a bunch more uninsured drivers (not that many of them are anyhow, but it'll be even worse) on the roads too.
And the Murder Law analogy doesn't fit at all. Murder laws, specifically the fear of going to jail, prevent people from committed murder everyday. Lord knows murder would be a lot more common if it weren't illegal. A law preventing illegals from driving would do no such thing.
A more fitting analogy would be "If they're going to come anyhow, why not just open the borders and let them come". And, well, while I may not agree with it for security reasons that's a legitimate argument proposed by a lot of people.

Yeah, we have designated places for them to go. You drive by in the morning and it's packed...All sorts of people...
Go by a couple hours later, and it's empty...

yeah, we'll see how long that fad lasts.
instead of standing around with binoculars why dont they grab bricks and shovels and build a real border?  nah, too much work. we'll just sit in the back of our pickups and radio the border patrol when we see someone.

I have news for you, most of them won't get insurance even when they'er legal residents and DO get their license.

its funny how you all just sit back and say.. "send them back.. " you forgot that WE WERE ALL IMMIGRANTS TOO.. rememeber ppl.. you keep on going up that that tree and you will see a brown [censored] like me.. remember: your parents arent from SUNNYVALE!! all the immigrants want to do is betray a country to be an AMERICAN CITIZEN. LOTS of immigrants came here illegally, but its just like ppl like yourselves make it harder to be a part of america.!! we fight tooth and nail to be here living like everyone else but you all want to take it away from us!! Where did all these white ppl come from? oh i fogot.. they didnt try to be here. they took it!!! they killed thousands of indians and bought thousands of slaves!! what about the other types of immigrants that came before the "mexicans" there were the asians, the krauts, the gooks, the wops, the japs.. and in the beginning the europeians!! im not getting mad but all im saying that this country was founded on freedom, and then ppl flocked here and it was somewhat ok. this is what makes america so great!! everyone can come here and live better than where they came from. this just came to me.. so if you want to flame me then go ahhead.. but im not trying to get anyone riled up.. its just im reading all of your posts and i never thought that ceg thought this way about immingrants.. cuz now you want to block up the BORDERS but if we did it years ago... and i mean years ago, alot of you wouldnt be here either..
