OK today I was running some errands and as I headed home from downtown, I noticed how many Mexico license plates I saw. Now granted, I know that some of those were actual people here "visiting" from Mexico, or whatever. Anyways what drives me crazy is that so many Mexican Nationals that are here legally, don't register their vehicle in the U.S.. Now why might that be? Hmm...Maybe because in Mexico they only pay what is equivalent to around ten dollars for a five year plate. How are they able to do this? I suspect because they still have family in Mexico and have an address that they are able to register the vehicle to. Now anyone who has ever crossed the border in a vehicle knows that you must present proof of insurance when entering the U.S. But who is to say what kind of policy was purchased? I mean you can buy insurance for six months at a time, but say they do payments, and miss one, oh yeah bye bye insurance. So now we have a Mexican National steering a 3000lb missile down our highway with no insurance. What happens when they have an at-fault accident and injure someone? All they have to do is make it away from the scene(if they too are not severely injured) and scoot back to Mexico. Then they are able to escape any charges for crimes they would be suspected of, escape any and all financial liabilities, and then cause all of us American's insurance premiums to go up because now we have to file an uninsured driver claim!! Maybe SB1070 will help with this, they don't want to be pulled over, maybe they'll register their cars in the U.S., I mean it would be a little less conspicuous. Think of how much more money the border states would make off of registration! Just food for thought...Until next time

Arizona's SB-1070
I'm a legal American citizen and I must show my ID when:
1. Pulled over by the police.
2. Making purchases on my department store credit card.
3. When I show up for a doctor's appointment.
4. When filling out a credit card or loan application.
5. When applying for or renewing a driver's license or passport.
6. When applying for any kind of insurance.
7. When filling out college applications.
8. When donating blood.
9. When obtaining certain prescription drugs.
10. When making some debit purchases, especially if I'm out of state.
11. When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel.
I'm sure there are more instances, but the point is that we citizens of the USA are required to prove who we are nearly every day! Why should people in this country illegally, be exempt!!!!!

Arizona's New Gun Law
OK, so I'm sure just like the immigration bill AZ recently passed, everyone has heard about our new gun law that will go into effect come August. This new bill allows anyone over the age of 21 to legally carry a concealed weapon without a permit, essentially; completely restoring the 2nd amendment in the state of Arizona. A lot of the dems are freaking out. Here is what they don't realize: Strict gun laws provided a false sense of security, when you take guns out of the hands of the majoity of the population (I say majority because we all should remember that crimminals will have guns no matter what) you leave the general population who would use these weapons for home defense, recreational shooting, hunting, etc...Completly helpless and vurnurable to gun wielding thugs. In Washington, D.C. several years ago, due to high crime rates, outlawed all guns. Guess what happened. Did the crime rate drastically drop because all the people causing a high crime rate suddenly decide to obey the laws? No!! The crime rate in D.C. rose 183%, a perfect example as to why we should allow citizens to carry a weapon. The bad guys need to be kept on their toes, I think this bill is a great way to fight back at crime. I feel if someone is playing around with the idea of knocking off a convienence store they will think twice, not knowing just how many men or women are carrying a handgun.
