    I'm about 90% sure the guy in the op's post is a meme created in 2015? something like that.

    They're likely to go to prison wherever, or be shot in a place like Mexico.

    I'm guessing the police there have no problem shooting first, asking questions later. Unlike our beat cops, theirs carry machine guns.

    certain cartel areas are sketchy for sure....but El Salvador is more what you're describing. You don't want to wander around East Oakland on a Saturday night either

    Perhaps it is true in one of the white states in this map.
    http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/unauthorized-immigrants/

    But most of the data on this is made murky during the past 10 years.
    But people are catching on to the hiding the truth.
    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/03/3...o-quest-to-tabulate-toll-illegal-drivers.html

    "As many as 7,500 Americans -- 20 per day -- are killed annually by unlicensed drivers, and Rosenberg calculates that more than half are the victims of illegal immigrants. Now, by testifying before lawmakers, speaking to parents who have been through the same ordeal and posting his research on his nonprofit’s website, unlicensedtodrive.org, Rosenberg is shedding light on a frightening number not readily available from government sources.

    “Our archives are filled with stories of drunk-driving illegals killing U.S. citizens.”

    Then when you get to areas like Oxnard CA, Woodburn OR where the Hispanic population is very high as is the undocumented status, it is an illogical statement.

    I've been to Mexico plenty. They have these little towers along the roads where cops watch the cars go by and often stop and search. The cops carry machine guns.

    It's rather scary when you go through a tunnel and see a car riddled with bullet holes at the other end and a bunch of cops with machine guns standing around.

    Yep! I've been there. Not much you can say when they decide to check what you are carrying either.

    Never had one of the Machine gun toting guys do it. Pueto Capitan, you bet. Fuel dock Gordo , you bet. Immigration official, you bet. The Machine gun
    toting guy was right out the door or close by.
    You learn to love the rule of law. Appreciating it's finer points.
