Had a feeling it would end up being the people that take action. It sure would be terrible to be hit by that van full of illegals. No driver's license, probably can't read the road signs, and no insurance. How can you take an illegal alien to civil court? He's got no official address, and no identification or legitimate IRS records that the court could use to dock his pay. I guess that leaves you with the option of crossing your fingers and hope he shows up with a fistful of cash every week to cover your medical expenses.
We all know what will really happen. You'll be laid up and out of work while you recover, and your family will be working to pay your debts. If your auto insurance company helps out, you'll end up paying it out sooner or later with the increased premiums.
A-yuht, happens around here all the time. The cops bust an illegal who gets in an accident while driving with no license, registration or insurance. He "opts out" of the appearance date and disappears. Six months later he's behind the wheel of some other jalopy, and smacks into someone else. It's why I don't drive in the larger cities.
I don't think I could have the patience to be a cop.
