The Trump administration, led by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, is ridding America's roadways of noncitizen truck drivers. But the death toll continues to rise amid legal and blue state pushback.
Flags are flying at half staff in the state of Pennsylvania in honor of Michael Pahira Jr., a state trooper killed after a tractor-trailer struck him on the morning of July 1. Pahira, a 20-year veteran of the force, was conducting a safety check of another commercial truck on the shoulder of 1-80 when Michael Bon, an illegal immigrant from Haiti, crashed into Pahira’s vehicle then hit the truck he was inspecting at the time. Both trucks burst into flames; Pahira suffered fatal injuries at the scene and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

To add salt to the wound, the illegal immigrant will cost taxpayers lots of money to support him in prison.
That is a horrific accident for the hapless car driver who was just driving the car legally.
Howz about one Biden cabinet official put to death for each American citizen killed by an illegal alien that they let in? All’s fair in love (none for that group of excrement) and war (thoroughly deserved by that group of excrement).
Biden and the dems should be tried as accessories to murder.
Keep this in mind — Each instance of this is also an instance of corruption in a state level DMV.
There have been three major semi accidents in south Cook County and northern Indiana in the past few days. There were injuries and fatalities. All involved foreign-born drivers. Two have definitely been identified as “undocumented.” One was definitely unlicensed. One was 70 years old and didn’t speak English. His immigration status and licensing wasn’t mentioned, but do the math. There was international diversity among the drivers— on Mexican, one Indian, and one probably from one of the former central Asian Soviet republics.
I just finished a long road trip and my estimate is that 1/3 to 1/2 of the truck drivers are Indians (or at least look like Indians). Many have Indian names on their trucks, like “Raj Trucking”.
Biden’s Girls must of brought them here in the middle of the night. My theory for bringing in truckers is that it’s next to impossible to find new American truckers who can pass a drug test (and note that there’s no more complaints about trucker shortages).
I watch my mirrors ... always
I don't think any amount of situtational awareness would have gotten you out of that one.
Agreed. The way you put a stop to this shit is have the Republican Congress get over their TDS and pass a law that makes anyone involved in the process of issuing CDLs, from the governor down to the clerk that issues the license, criminally AND personally liable in the event one of these pieces of crap kills or injures someone.

Why don’t I drive trucks? When they started importing cheap drivers the pay went down. Way down. Truck stop lots and bathrooms went to poop. Nasty filthy
Receivers adjusted the way they do things, closed their drivers lounge and even their bathrooms because of the mess these new truckers would bring with them.
Then because of the way these drivers and companies operate insurance prices went through the roof.
It just wasn’t worth it.
Would I get back in a truck? Yes things would have to change. I remember being treated very well at loading docks. Now? Get in at your appointment time no sooner no later wait in your truck and if you need a restroom? Don’t come in looking for one.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
This one happened in Ontario yesterday.
Truck driver still not identified...
“Head ‘em up, move ‘em out” get those crazies off the road & back to their own country where they understand the driving laws. Sheesh!
Yep; so did my dad. Also leaving a bit of maneuvering space behind the vehicle ahead.
Saved him once, when He had to pull out onto the left shoulder, and on ahead, as as a oncoming couldn’t stop in time.
My own was was in San Fransicko, at a stop light. Saw him coming; did the math. I put it in neutral, and set the hand brake.
Result: He was hoping mad at me for not running the light. Thought it was my fault, despite him skidding UPHILL into me.
I had zero damage, but had a small chore working my trailer hitch out of his radiator.
Democrat open border and sanctuary policies are 100% to blame for this.
Democrats continue calling for ICE to be abolished, just as they called for “defund the police”
Democrats get more outraged over the justified shooting of an illegal that tries to murder ICE agents than when one of their pet criminals murders a US citizen.
Making it easier for illegals to get CDLs and other jobs that should go to US citizens is what Democrats have been doing for decades.
This is what you get if you vote for Democrats or do not show up on election day to stop them from taking office.
I don’t care how feckless and weak the GOP has become in not passing the SAVE Act nor fixing birthright citizenship. I am voting for the Republican on the ballot because the Democrat wants to replace me with an illegal and would be even happier if the illegal murders me. I can work on replacing GOP candidates in the primary.
IF you want to stand behind some purity stance or libertarianism and not vote (or waste your vote) then you are an accomplice in the subversion of our liberty.
My son is an American trucker. Couple weeks ago he was in a left turn lane when an old man pulled a U-turn in front of him and blindly pulled into the driving lanes.
A lady who had just given birth and her 5 year old daughter couldn’t do a thing when the old guy pulled in front of her.
I’ve seen the dash cam. The collision was violent and deadly for the man. I’m sure some idiots will try to blame my son for legally stopping to make a legal left turn.
Without Democrats USA would be a heavenly country.
