"Arrest that foreigner - he's not wearing a seat belt!"
In the last few weeks, if you watched any TV, you no doubt have seen the slick “Click It or Ticket” videos produced by the Federal government’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). (If not, you can check them out here: NHTSA Tools)
As part of the campaign, Monday May 21 kicked off a two-week Enforcement period during which law enforcement is really going to go after the scofflaws who just won’t buckle up.
Juxtapose all that with Federal efforts, including the recent comprehensive overhaul proposal, to stem the tide of illegal immigration.
Now ask yourself: Which of the two – not wearing a seat belt or being in this country illegally – do you honestly believe our governments want law enforcement to take more seriously?
