Hispanic DWIs rooted in immigrants' culture

[Alex+R 0]

hehehe crime rates (even violent crime rates) were high among Irish and Jewish immigrants when they came here. Cultural differences I guess.

It's a good thing we've got all the Irish and Jews back in their countries or in jail now. I feel safer.

There are many more illegal Hispanic immigrants than there were illegal Jewish or Irish immigrants. Lets compare apples to apples at least.

everyone who came ehre during their time was legal.there was no immigration laws on the book then

Except for when they had all those quotas, or like when they barred Jews from immigrating during the Holocaust... e.g. Anne Frank's dad, who applied for a visa for the family but was denied. Oops. Sorry US, Israel doesn't make up for that one...

So why is the rate 3 times higher for Hispanics than everyone else? Can anyone answer by not blaming the Jews or Irish?

Blame it on Tequila?

But that fact doesn't stop the open borders freaks from asserting that 19th Century America is somehow equal to and the same as 21st Century America. And that the 6 billion+ population of the world has migration rights to immigrate to America at will just 'cause they want to.

And you have to wonder somehow that illegal aliens don't realize they are breaking the law if they have to hire criminal smugglers to enter the USA and to buy counterfeit and stolen identities to work here.

Who ever said illegal immigrants don't realize they are breaking laws? Sometimes what's right is illegal and what's wrong is legal. I know that's a tough concept for some folks, but there you have it. Most people consider not letting their children starve, by any means necessary, to be what's right. That's not the case with all immigrants, but a good number.

I found this fairly easily after a quick google search. Seems to be a government research study on the demographics of automobile related deaths and injuries.

Interestingly enough it seems native americans have a higher likelihood to be involved in a road traffic accident than hispanics.

that darn firewater is tough to handle. i sure can't.

but seriously.. this is a sad situation. usually folks in tough economic/social situations are more apt to hit the bottle and get in trouble.

Alex, I would truly like to know your opinion on this story without pointing the blame at other racial groups.

Pointing the blame at other groups? I've compared it to other groups. Not even close to the same thing.

I would just like her comment on the story. Her comparison was between groups 60+ years apart.
