Americans are waking up to the prevalence of illegal immigrants working side by side with them as they consistently lose out to a cheaper alternative to themselves.
Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant, caused a fatal vehicle crash Aug. 12, killing three people on the Florida Turnpike as he attempted to make a U-turn in an “Official Use Only” turnaround while driving a commercial truck. Further investigations revealed Singh failed English and road-sign tests, raising questions about his licensing eligibility.
Commercial trucking is a quintessential American blue-collar job that provides economic opportunities for people all over the country. Even Mayor Adams sees trucking as an opening for formerly incarcerated people to find economic stability and minimize recidivism through training programs. So why are illegal immigrants driving trucks when there are plenty of Americans who willingly work in the profession?
I’ve heard stories from older generations about how they were able to raise a family working a single factory job. But today, if that factory job hasn’t been shipped overseas to China or across the border to Mexico, it’s likely being or in danger of being occupied by a cheaper illegal employee.
In my state of New Jersey, I’ve seen firsthand how systematic it is to cater to an illegal Hispanic workforce for the abundance of warehouses spread through the state by only offering job opportunities in Hispanic neighborhoods and providing transportation for a population that can’t legally drive.
We even go as far as believing that illegals are uniquely more resilient to handle backbreaking work, which is the same line of rationality that was used to sustain slavery in America.

I am currently building a house in Texas. 80% of the workers “no habla.” They have Chihuahua or Coahuila flags on their vehicles.
In Kalifornia, they used "humanitarianism" to justify providing the illegal trespassers with a "legal" Kalifornia driver's license. Some of the democRATS actually said something very close to "well, they need a driver's license to get to work."
Illegal trespassers, working illegally, need a "legal" driver's license.
Later, they passed the Motor Voter law. Whenever you interact with the DMV, license, registration, whatever, you are automatically registered to vote.
Illegal trespassers, with their "legal" license, and automatic voter regulation. What could possibly go wrong? .
They’ll also need it to vote if we every pass voter ID.
You mean like this one?!

Harjinder Singh, an illegal Indian immigrant killed three people on the Fla Turnpike as he stupidly attempted to make a U-turn in an “Official Use Only” turnaround while driving a commercial truck in traffic.
Further investigations revealed Indian national Singh failed English and road-sign testing, yet got a license, raising questions about his licensing eligibility.
It is the employers of those illegals that perpetuate the problem. They have gotten used to paying starvation wages that only attract illegals. I’m not so sure US kids want the jobs, anyway.
Also, notice that the mexican crews are not mixed, they enter deferentially and then takeover and no black or white Americans will ever appear with them again.
Throw these leaches off forever welfare and tell em get a job or starve
Prosecute the employers.
Toss a few into Federal prison and this will stop.

Not at those wages.
Joe the idea is to kick them out and not employ them.
The whole “illegals are doing jobs Americans won’t” argument is a damned lie. I have done those jobs with black and white people who were willing to work low paying jobs. I have also seen them lose out to illegals who were paid less under the table. And don’t get me started on the illegals work harder lie. In the places where I did temp work it was well known that the illegals weren’t skilled or diligent in their work habits.
Cut off the EBT and other freebies to able bodied citizens and there will damn sure be Americans willing to do the work. Having the skill to actually do the work is another thing.
We need to stop minimum wage, and this will stop.
Illegals will have no great reason and (small) employers will have no reason to pay under the table allowing illegals.
MW is a price control that should not exist, yet we’ve made it bigger and bigger in about every state. It’s communist and fascist telling people that they must pay others XXX amount at least.
Get rid of MW, and you get rid of the illegal alien problem.
You say that, but what is the reason?
Most are small business, not the big corp that can afford the fascist minimum wage. MW is another communist idea that is a price control. The small business are trying to stay afloat with this and all the other fascist regulation.
Get rid of the minimum wage and this dries up.
I keep getting told that the "best and brightest" come via immigration and yet everywhere I see old people in "traditional garb," well past working age, waddling around. How did they get here? Who let them in? Bizarre.— captive dreamer (@avaricum777) September 4, 2025
Lurker:"Prosecute the employers.

Imprison the CEO of the company who hired him for life. USC 8 1324 provides life imprisonment not only for the illegal but the employer who hired him along with the landlord that housed him if found guilty.
“ Get rid of the minimum wage and this dries up.”
You be sure to let me know when that happens. I’ll be onboard. But until then we use the tools we have. And that’s civil and criminal penalties for employers who hire illegal employees.
Unless, of course, you’d prefer we do nothing.

Imprison the CEO who hired killer Singh. USC 8 1324 provides life imprisonment for the
illegal, the employer who hired him, along with the landlord that housed him, if found guilty.
And what about the DMV nincompoops who gave him a
license even though he couldnt even read or speak English?
