Driving while famous vs. driving while immigrant

Why is it that so many undocumented immigrants are stopped by police for no violations while infamous journalist Robert Novak can get away with hitting a pedestrian, leaving the scene, and surprisingly saying that he did not know he hit anyone, even though the victim hit Novak's windshield? What kind of selective enforcement is this? Novak was not planning to stop, until a bicyclist forced the issue. Yet, all Novak gets is a failure to yield right of way??? Compare this to the same type of incident with the driver being an immigrant? Big difference in what happens -- the immigrant usually lands in jail - or deported... While Novak can continue "driving aggressively," cursing pedestrians, and unethically outing CIA agents -

p.s. If Novak's vision is that bad where he does not see when someone hits his windshield, he needs to turn in his driver's license.

A Washington Post blog published this comment on the Novak incident:

"columnist Bob Novak, whose ludicrous excuse for his plowing his Corvette into a pedestrian in downtown Washington yesterday fails the laugh test. Novak would have us believe that he simply didn't know he had hit a pedestrian, but a lawyer who watched it all happen said the man who was struck rolled onto Novak's hood and then onto his windshield. This is a bit difficult to miss, don't you think?"
