100,000 - 10,000. Maybe Doyle can work with Obama on a national car insurance reform plan.

Here's another one:
Washington County deputies are investigating a crash along Highway 164 that killed three people. Investigators said that a sport utility vehicle was heading southbound on Highway 164, carrying seven people on their way to church.
The driver was a 42-year-old man who was accompanied by his 40-year-old wife and three children; a 9-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl. The SUV was also carrying two children from another family, an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.
They were struck by a one-ton flatbed truck heading northbound on the road. The truck was driven by Ricardo Guerrero, and his passengers -- Armando and Javier Guerrero -- both revealed in interviews after the crash that they were in the United States illegally.
Officers said that the truck driver lost control and went left of center. The SUV swerved to avoid a collision, but the truck continued to slide out of control, striking the SUV. The driver of the SUV, as well as the man’s 9-year-old son and the 12-year-old girl were killed in the crash. Deputies said that all three were believed to be wearing seatbelts.
The other passengers suffered serious injuries and were taken to Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls, Wis. The man’s wife was later taken to Froedtert Hospital. All the children were taken were then transported to Children’s Hospital.
The three men are being held in the Washington County jail.
A communications officer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement stated, "I can confirm that ICE placed detainers on these individuals, and they will be turned over to ICE custody and placed into deportation proceedings."
State records show that Guerrero received a valid driver's license in October 2006 before Wisconsin started requiring proof of legal presence in 2007. He received numerous minor moving violations since his license was issued.

ladulce, I'm sorry I guess I forgot to state that I did the payroll and the exemptions are listed on the W-4's they fill out so I saw everyone of them and their paychecks. You also stated "Your ignorance shows why your husband couldn't get a job." What would my ignorance have to do with my husband getting a job? Plus I never said he couldn't get a job. He was looking for work until he found a new job. (By the way...he found 2 fantastic jobs, doing one from home.) And I'm learning Spanish online. So I hope that pleases you. See, I'm not ignorant like you said I am.

Something major has to be done with the employers who hire illegals!
My husband lost his job in 2002 and applied 2 different times for a large factory in Whitewater and they wouldn't even give him an application because they were hiring only Mexicans. (All the Mexicans in front of him got an application to fill out!) This year he met a friend of a friend who lost his job and applied there too and he said "I could have gotten a job at _____ if I was a Mexican." I worked for a company that hired Mexicans who all had 2 and 3 SS cards, all with different names on them. One group of 6 had cards ending with **50, 51, 52, 53, 54 & 55. After using EVerify I informed my employer about the cards not being legit and he didn't care. All the Mexicans working there do claim 9/10 exemptions and because of the small wages no taxes come out of their paychecks. When I lost my job with that company and applied for unemployment I found out that a male Mexican name was using my SS# while working at some brick company in another part of the state so it looked like I was still working. While applying for new office jobs, the companies now want you to be bilingual in Spanish so you can deal with the Mexicans they hire. So that leaves out most of us women, the jobs will have to be filled with Mexicans!!
It's a sad sad situation for American citizens seeking employment.
