Do it again, injury or not, and you forfeit your car and you're in jail for a year.

And do you think you should be deported for it?

Only way anyone should be upset with DiBlasio if they think people should be deported for DUI's.

Immigration policy is a whole nother debate. But I think the point here is not that DiBlasio is condoning drunk driving, rather he's saying a first offense DUI, particularly without injury shouldn't get you deported.
