I'm losing more respect for wikipedia here, and people who use it as a reference. I didn't bother to read your link, but is that the jist of it?
Lizzie Grubman, (a disgusting person from what I can gather), is about as cute as a freshly laid turd and was already a "media celebrity" before that incident. Otherwise, why would her driving into a crowd be even known? (No one was killed or seriously maimed). She is the daughter of a famous lawyer, Alan Grubman, and that is her entire claim to fame/ meal ticket on this earth.
I never heard the starter of this thread, (or anyone else for that matter), claim that non-Mexicans never drive drunk or flee accidents. It is a huge problem w/ illegals, (sorry about that insensitive word), so why does your knee jerk into some weird defensive mode whenever anyone has the gall to point this out?
Do you deny that it's a problem when millions of people from a backwards, 3rd world country sneak across our border and start driving an $8.00 car around w/ no insurance? And that drunk driving doesn't have quite the same, shall we say, stigma attached to it in their native country? It's a real problem, and it will get worse, but it's a relative drop in the bucket in the large picture of the nightmare of uncontrolled illegal immigration in the U.S.A. That you deny the existence of a problem, or you do not consider the prospect of a U.S. population of 450 million people that is half Mexican or their immediate ancestors to be a problem suggests a level of denial that rivals the people who claim that Iraq is going "just great".
Yes, our culture has its share of unsavory characters, like the Lizzie Grubmans of the world who are rich, entitled, and not very appealing, but why does that mitigate the wholesale importation of another country's people and problems on a permanent basis? I just find your apologies for the situation incomprehensible.
