Moral of the story, don't hire illegals.
I am sure they could find Americans willing to drive big rigs.

Bush should declare May 1, 2006 as a National Holiday. That way the almost no one will be working on that day.

who says these truck drivers are all illegals? many are likely hispanic americans, and it will be interesting to see how many, not just in this case but across the board, participate in this nationwide.

It is BS. My mother works for Schneider National. She says that they won't be entering some cities but it has nothing to do with a boycott. It has to do with keeping the trucks and frieght out of harms way. nothing more.

Uhhh ... not these rigs, they're flat out dangerous and nasty. These drivers are lucky if they make $100 in a 12 hour day.

Well why would they walk out if they weren't illegals.
If they aren't illegals, fire them, and get more reliable workers.

Great. A combination of union thuggery & racism/ethno-centrism.
" Ernesto Nevarez, one of the organizers, told Reuters. "Everyone has a relative (who is Latino)," he said. "It's out of solidarity with our people."
To: investigateworld
You know, there are simple ways to fully automate the port, up until the container reaches the over the road truck. See the Amsterdam port for a template. Then you don't need illegals to do the driving.

I am interested to know how many hispanic americans are sympathetic with the amnesty idea, and are willing to participate in these boycotts.
To: cmsgop
that's why I am thinking - these aren't illegals they are talking about.
To: Jeff Gordon
No, Bush should do what Reagan did to the air traffic controllers.
All of this is absolutely sickening.
To: seastay
Who is organizing these boycotts ? Politicians ?
To: seastay
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........He said organize a bunch of truckers.................HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
