The Secret DUI Factor

Posted By Mickey Kaus On 3:34 PM 06/13/2013 In Blog - Mickey Kaus


Senators Not So Much Against Drunk Driving: I’m told, by a reliable and well-placed source, that a good deal of the Democratic opposition to John Cornyn’s proposed amendment (http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/13/the-cornyn-con/) to the Gang of 8 bill has nothing to do with border security. It has to do with DUIs. Specifically, Cornyn’s amendment would bar illegal immigrants with misdemeanor DUI convictions (http://www.cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ImmigrationReformBorderSecurity) from ”probationary” legal status, which is the immediate legalization offered by Marco Rubio, et al, to most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants now living in the U.S.. For the pro-amnesty side, the exclusion of DUI offenders is apparently a deal-killer. There must be a lot of them!


Pro-Gang Democrats (and Republicans) understandably don’t want to publicize their DUI defense. DUI offenders are not an inherently popular group, and accidents in which undocumented immigrant drivers kill innocent civilians tend to be well publicized (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,265047,00.html). It’s not a coincidence that Obama’s executive mini-amnesty of so-called “Dreamers”–issued before the 2012 election–claimed to exclude DUI offenders (http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm). But the broader Gang of 8 legislation, written after the election, allows two free misdemeanors–apparently including DUIs–before an illegal immigrant is disqualified. (If you search the Gang of 8 text (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-113s744is/pdf/BILLS-113s744is.pdf) for “intoxicated,” you will discover only provisions related to “habitual” drunk drivers–defined as “[a]n alien convicted of 3 or more offenses on separate dates related to driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated.” [Emphasis added])


The DUI issue may be a sort of Ninth Planet affecting the immigration debate in a way that’s invisible to most of the MSM’s reporters. It would certainly help explain some of the vehement Gang of 8 opposition (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/12/john-cornyn-immigration-amendment_n_3428949.html)to Cornyn’s amendment, which otherwise doesn’t seem all that different (http://washingtonexaminer.com/cornyns-results-amendment-doesnt-change-gang-of-eight-bill/article/2531720)from what the Gang has proposed. …

Kat we have been played on immigration. R's granted amnesty in 1986 and the problem only got worse. I really think R's actually believe what Dems are saying about getting the Latino vote.

It did not work after the 1986 amnesty so why would it work now?

If they get the Republicans, not conservatives to go along with this, it will change the electorate. Obviously a few drunks will not get in the way. A few? Worthy of this??

Any Immigrant that Crossed into the United States and has Committed a Felony should not be eligible.

That would be all Illegal Aliens...

One thing that REALLY angers me about the immigration process is that no criminal record check is conducted from the country of origin. I will use Brazil as an example, since that is the foreign country I'm most familiar with and there are over a million Brazilians living in the US, many illegally. Almost anyone who applies for work in Brazil has their "ficha criminal" (criminal record) pulled. The system is well established and widely used. Why is it that pumping gas at PetroBras involves more scrutiny that applying for immigration benefits in the US?

They give amnesty to these illegals and the Republican party will become a minority party for 100 years and only that were Obama not dead set on destroying it utterly. Which he is . Can't have a proper dictatorship without one party rule. -Tyr
