New York Times article on police cracking down on ebike traffic
violations. Let's see if this will get people past the paywall:

Legal Resident Aliens (taxpaying, working people who cannot vote)

ignored, along with US citizens. Criminal illegal aliens who, by

by the
same Statutes, are where her sympathies lie.

The article contains over 2000 words. Of those, only about three
paragraphs mention immigrant delivery workers. The rest deals with
the
disparity between ebike and car enforcement policies, noting that
cars
kill far, far more pedestrians. It doesn't even mention that NYC
life is
totally dominated by the negative effects of car traffic. Yet
people are
enraged about the comparatively minuscule effects of ebikes, and
ebike
riders are in some ways being treated more harshly than car drivers.

Look, I think ebike riders should ride legally. I think U.S.
ebikes are
too fast, and/or should be legally treated more like motorcycles -
meaning integrated into traffic and kept off bike paths.

But you guys ignore all that, blinded by the brief mention of
immigrants. You never fail to respond to right wing dog whistles,
even
if  you have to blow the whistle yourself.

Braindead magatards like the floriduh dumbass will consistently

Andrew isn't as bad as most but even he more recently is allowing

there is
no evidence in that article to support "Criminal illegal aliens....are

Since deportation only applies to people in the USA illegally, her
statement absolutely indicates her sympathies are with the illegals.

Deportation applies to people "presumed illegal" by the administration,
not only to people legally determined illegal.
Sadly the current admisitration has declared people illegal and
attempted to deport without due process.

Ilegalas are not entitled to due process.

Yes, you braindead magatard, they are:

"Despite Trump’s dismissal of and questions about due process for
immigrants, the U.S. Constitution, legal experts and decades of court
decisions agree: Immigrants in the U.S., regardless of how they entered
the U.S., legally or illegally, have due process rights."

No, they don't.

There's no difference between spotting an illegal trying to swim
across the Rio Grande and forcing him/her to turn back and finding him
two or three years later. He/she has to right to due process.
