Replacement of American truckers with unvetted, unqualified migrant drivers must stop.

Submitted by Gord Magill for American Truckers United:

In the wake of the horrific crash in early August near Fort Pierce, Florida, that claimed the lives of three innocent motorists, we have seen a flurry of announcements and activity from the administration regarding who may be extended the privilege of being a trucker in America. The Indian national who killed those three people, Harjinder Singh, entered the country illegally, was issued visas and work authorizations by both Biden and Trump, and then was issued CDLs by corrupt officials in sanctuary states Washington and California. In an effort to stop this highway crisis, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a 'pause’ in the issue of visas to foreign nationals, specifically for truck driver positions.

Though this move by Rubio does nothing about the hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees already here, both swept in by former President Biden’s terrible lack of control over the border, and issued CDLs under his ridiculous 2021 'Trucking Task Force’, it is a welcome start to cleaning up an industry that has been utterly corrupted.

New information revealed about Harjinder Singh and his supporters shows that America needs to do a much better job of vetting people who enter the country, as well as those in the trucking industry.

According to online Indian news magazine 'The Indian Express’, Harjinder Singh admits to his family that he is essentially an economic migrant –

„Harjinder’s friend Gursewak Singh said, „He did not go to the US out of necessity but, like many young men, to build a better life. When we last spoke, about 10–15 days before this incident, he told me he planned to return to India in around two years.”

This also puts the lie to Singh’s previous claim of 'fear’ in returning to India in order to convince Trump Administration officials to let him stay. What a massive mistake that was.

However, we don’t need any of these migrants behind the wheel in the first place.

The trucking industry continues to struggle under a protracted freight recession while experiencing a massive capacity glut that has seen thousands of companies close and tens of thousands of American drivers laid off over the last three years. We really ought not be continuing to add economic migrants to the mix.

A couple of other twists to this story are Singh’s alleged participation with an organization called 'Sikhs for Justice’, which is an international agitator for the Punjab area of India to break off and become its own nation state.

Likewise, fundraisers, too numerous to count, are now in place for Singh, as well as a massive petition calling for clemency. This shows us that ethnic nepotism and the righteous punishment of a criminal are of far more concern to some of our Punjabi friends than the memories of the three people he killed in Florida.

This is actually insane. There are MORE GoFundMes. I’m not counting all these. https://t.co/zZPrIBDdN9 pic.twitter.com/NBSZasDd9w

NEW: Over 1.65M people have signed a petition to free the illegal immigrant truck driver who made an illegal U-Turn, taking the lives of 3 Americans.

The petition argues that Harjinder Singh should be sentenced to counseling or community service.

An organization that represents Sikhs in America is seeking special treatment downstream of President Trump’s ELP re-enforcement order, which also shows us that assimilation is not at the forefront of this community’s mind.

Who do these people think they are? It is beyond obvious that this is not the type of immigrant that America is looking for.

Looking north, a viral video released last week by Canadian Independent journalist Mocha Bezirgan highlights the ongoing abuse of 'Labor Market Impact Assessments’ and the corruption of the wider Punjabi trucking community in Canada, who use these documents to lie to the government about a 'shortage’ of truck drivers when what they are doing is employing foreign nationals at the expense of Canadians.

This is old news to those of us paying attention, as Canada’s largest Newspaper, the Globe and Mail, issued a special report into this back in 2019. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial authorities have done nothing to investigate or stop this practice, or any of the other Temporary Foreign Worker and Student Visa scams which plague the country, and see it hosting over 10% of its total population on temporary visas, which drives up the costs of housing and living for everyone else.

It seems rather unlikely that newly parachuted in Prime Minister, Mark Carney, the Bankster and Globalist who has been a long-time advisor to Trudeau and was hand-picked to replace him, will do anything about this abuse in the trucking industry, either. Most of these inconsiderate, unsafe, and illiterate drivers are brought here from a culture where reckless driving kills 190,000 people a year, which the Canadian government has issued warnings about.

Why bring such people to Canada and America at scale? Trump’s announcement last week of the review of 55 million visa holders in the US shows us that both countries have serious, serious problems with their societies being subverted to suit the needs of greedy corporations and government officials.

While Secretary Rubio and Secretary Duffy are to be commended for their moves, we need better guarantees from Rubio than a 'pause’, which had some sneaky language tucked into it.

„On Friday, the State Department also said the government is launching a review of how it screens foreign drivers and „enhanced vetting” will apply to those without valid visas.”

We also need Secretary Duffy to become more aggressive in prosecuting the carriers who employ this insourced labor, where this labor is often exploited while these employers actively discriminate against American truck drivers, who are rightly disinterested in breaking the law or being treated like servants. Many advertisements for these companies contain blatant allusions to breaking the law in the service of working these guys like dogs.

We would also call on the secretary to work with relevant agencies where it concerns our Canadian friends, whose own terribly regulated and utterly corrupt trucking industry is sending thousands of their low-quality drivers into the United States. Perhaps every northern state DOT ought to set up on major routes coming south from the Canadian border, and remove those who cannot prove efficiency in English, nor that they possess any regard for safe and professional operation.

Just so everyone’s aware! Not every state is flooding your highways with truck drivers that don’t speak English. In fact its primarily only about 14 LABOR DUMPING states.

The replacement of American Truckers with unvetted and unqualified labor must stop, as soon as possible …

… American lives and American jobs depend on these 'drivers’ being removed from our roads.
