This is besides the point (obviously people should never be deported for traffic infraction), but right turn on red (RTOR) which is mainly a thing in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) is idiotic. (1) it barely save any car driver time on the road, (2) contrary to popular beliefs, in modern car it doesn't save any fuel, (3) sometimes the signs are confusing, e.g. "no right turn on red except..." - which is a double negative (4) it increases risk of collision when people who are doing RTOR fail to insufficiently yield to oncoming traffic, and (5) it increases risk of collision against cyclist who are always on right side of the road.
(5) is especially jarring if a car wants to make RTOR while the cyclist wants to go straight and waiting on the traffic light to turn green. The cyclist counts as a vehicle occupying the turning lane, so a car technically is not allowed to make RTOR when a cyclist is present, but most times the cyclist just get honked at and have to yield, either go backwards or go onto the sidewalk to accommodate a car making RTOR. Alternatively, if you are a cyclist and don't want to deal with intersection that allow RTOR, then you can make a vehicular lane change onto the middle lane and cycle in the middle of the road but obviously this is also dangerous. Study have shown that adoption of RTOR increases the risk of cyclist crashes by up to 100% (e.g., twice as likely). Zador, Paul (1984).

Critical support for comrade trump’s war on cars
Yeah it sounds like she isn't a citizen. That sucks but does anyone in the US expect to be able to live in another country for decades without a visa or citizenship? I'm not for draconian immigration policies and randomly deporting people but if you aren't a citizen and you aren't allowed to stay then this is what happens. You know like everywhere else in the world.
She was brought here as a child. She doesn’t know any other home. The right thing to do would be to let her stay and help her get legal citizenship.
Man, a bunch of people showed up here and killed the people who lived here, planted a flag and said it was theirs. Nobody here except the Native Americans are truly Americans if you want to play that stupid game. So by that logic, we should all gtfo except for them.
Yes. Why not? Countries are made up, and people are real.
I’m not surprised you have this opinion, though! Humans are animals, and most of them have no capacity for moral deliberation. They build things like airplanes, but don’t know why. They enjoy art, but don’t know how. They feel, but can’t begin to analyze (let alone understand) their own dumb emotions.
Most humans are a cosmic joke (or maybe a horror) meant to keep the rest of us humble. And you’re a prime example of that.

So just give her citizenship? She's been in the country since she's a toddler, literally what is stopping them from offering her citizenship? Nations are made up, borders are imaginary.

Yes you are. You think it's okay to deport someone for a minor traffic violation.
Ackshually it's okay because
She isn't being deported for a traffic violation...is that what you all think? It is OK to be deported if you are found out to be illegally staying in a country though. Kind of like literally every other country. If there is a country letting people just move to it let me know please.
I love how you meantion ur not draconian and then proceed to be draconian
Another hot take from .ml.
Wait, I thought .ml was part of the tankie triad
Blocked the instance, I’ve been forgetting to get on that.
God I just wish all of you scumbags would disappear.
They seem to love extradition, so maybe that's the answer for how to handle them.
Yes, because the expectation is that if you keep your head low you will be tolerated. And this has been tolerated from both parties for many years after they are removed the legal visa for seasonal workers. Many people want cheap labour, and this is the way the government has been providing it. And yes in other countries this structure also probably takes places and in other countries they've made a more legal path to get this labour for their country. It is not as black and white.
She's a CRIMINAL! This is what CRIMINALS get!
