Foreign Big Rig Drivers Turning US Highways Into Killing Fields – “People’s Lives Are Being Ruined”

Foreign Big Rig Drivers Turning US Highways Into Killing Fields – “People’s Lives Are Being Ruined”

 
American roadways have become substantially more hazardous in recent years thanks in part to an explosion of unqualified, unvetted foreign drivers with dubious immigration statuses operating tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles.

The growing issue has finally garnered national attention following a series of catastrophic wrecks across the country, including a crash that claimed five lives (including those of an infant and a child) this month in Austin, TX.

Solomun Weldekeal Araya, a 37-year-old migrant from the Horn of Africa who speaks little English, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of intoxication manslaughter after the 18-wheeler he was driving slammed into 17 other vehicles in stopped traffic on Interstate 35, authorities say.

Shannon Everett and his team at American Truckers United (ATU) are working tirelessly to uncover dirty secrets of the industry and bring them to the attention of state and federal authorities, who are often complicit in flooding our roads with dangerous foreign operators.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Wow...surprised it took this long to get some media attention.

The last trip we took, we made it a point to look up (if possible) at the 18 wheeler, and we came to conclusion that over half were of or appeared to be of foreign origin.

And this is alarming, since a lot of info on traffic hazards and signs are in English, and just how many of this 1/2 + understand English enough not to be a risk.  This seemed to really start during COVID, and has gotten progressively worse.

How many of those drivers even give a sh*t about hazards and laws? :pondering:
