Dallas, TX's solution to Illegals... brilliant!

The City of Dallas, Texas passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of Insurance, the car is towed.

To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars.

Shortly after the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days. Over
80% of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.

Now , not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot .

Guess what? Accident rates have gone down 47% and... Dallas' solution gets uninsured drivers off the road WITHOUT making anyone show proof of nationality.

I Wonder how the Justice Department will get around this one??

Just brings tears to your eyes doesn't it?

Pennsylvania has the same law... it is fairly effective there as well..

locally when you see certain plates you know it is an illegal..
Texas, California, South Carolina are a few,.

I believe it is because they are states that the plate goes with the car..

In NJ the plate must be either transferred to another vehicle of the prior owner or turned in and a new plate is issued for the car..

To get registration you have to show a drivers license and provide an address to mail the title to.. often a difficult task for an illegal to pull off..

If the states would adopt these two simple laws.. towing without insurance, and plate turn in the illegals would be walking home.
