As I stated right and wrong are not the same as legal.
Read post #16 which is not by me.

Personal experience. Several years ago, my niece was rear ended by an illegal alien driving an uninsured car. There is no question, when you are rear ended the fault is with the driver who hit you-simple. My niece's left arm was severely damaged. There was a good chance it would need to be amputated. She did not lose the arm but it is mostly useless. The illegal alien, who by the way had a child in the car, was bought a new car by her father and was out driving again before my niece was out of the hospital. Medical bills beyond insurance were paid for by my sister.

Fair, legal are not the same.
