1. PEOPLE are not illegal. This is a pet peeve. It is nasty, mean-spirited, bigoted, loathesome, and hateful to suggest otherwise. Their presence in the USA is illegal, but they, the people themselves, are not illegal. The fact that this is such a common term that no one seems to be bothered by it anymore, is exactly what makes it so horrible. You've all become so accustomed to your own bigotry that you don't notice it.
2. I would rather have a person who has proven that he knows how to drive, and has acquired insurance and registered his vehicle, than someone who hasn't done any of these things, driving ahead of, behind, or beside me on a public road, regardless of his/her immigration status.
