Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

So, let me address the reasons why walls, fences, guns, deportation, U.S. LAWS...are pointless...

BECAUSE..the U.S. gooberment chooses NOT to enforce the laws ALREADY in place.

BECAUSE..unlike Mexico, and Canada, our gooberment can't/won't/refuses to deport any/all,regardless of nationality, who are found to be in the country ILLEGALLY. (unless, of course, they have committed a CRIME...being an ILLEGAL is not crime ENOUGH!!)

BECAUSE..the liberals in U.S. gooberment (and by "liberal", I do NOT refer to a political affliliation, but a mind-set) feel that bankrupting our country(by giving amnesty, 10 year tax breaks, medical care, free education, and various OTHER things that a natural-born citizen CAN NOT get) is best for OTHER nations, because we can.(????!!!!!?????)

Just my opinion,and I addressed what you asked to be addressed, as much as I could.

Having been in the construction business for well over 30 years I have seen first-hand what havoc illegals wreak.At first people would say that it was the big companies hiring em that was the problem.We all know that greed is the main culprit!Let me say this, a legal AMERICAN or a legal alien for that matter CAN NOT compete with illegals.We pay taxes,we do not have FREE medical nor do we get food stamps from a government that seems to support everybody but the AMERICAN work force.The illegals ruined my old industry that is one of the main reasons I'am trying to break in as a driver.We need to make ourselves heard loud & clear in washington to keep it from happening to every line of work in AMERICA.I'am sick of being politically correct if you are here legally then stay if you are here illegally then get the h### out.Our so called political leaders are giving this country away!!Volunteer to go to the border unarmed obama must be crazy to even think that way,let him go down there unarmed if he wants to.The border can about be defended from washington if the politicians would uphold the law of the land.I know we would still need the border patrol but if washington would back them up & not lock them up their job would be a lot easier.Thanks for letting me vent!!

In reference to the high lighted...and I'm not fussin', just pointing out...THAT is a big part of THE PROBLEM. Words mean things. They are NOT leaders. Constitutionally they are REPRESENTAIVES. They ASK TO SERVE by the electoral process. By definition a to be a "leader" there must be "followers", which would ALLOW another to decide for "the followers".

"representative" is to REpresent. NOT lead, or dictate or mandate.

In the case of "politicians" their No.2 job is to REpresent OUR "best interest"...NOT lead us down the path of destruction...or any other for that matter.

Please, don't take offense...words mean things...we have ALL succumbed (in part) to the indoctrination thru the "citizen allowed, if not encouraged REdefinition" of the job of Washington DC EMPLOYEES, hired to SERVE. NOT lead.

Generals lead. Sargeants lead. Commanders lead. NOT "congress persons" or a POTUS (except in military situations as commander in chief) but NOT to "citizens" they are elected to SERVE.

Your answer to this issue is very astute...politically...you must be practicing for running for government office...answer the question without answering the question at all...its called sitting the fence till the polls decide what our decision will be....great plan..no position at all!

Your non-answer is pointless...joining the CD club I guess!
No I just think that all of those policies are pointless unless the economics reach some form of equality as long as there is a better life on this side of the border they will come no matter we do
I just hope it isn't us going to the economic level of Mexico to equal out

gointofast10. no offence taken I guess I should have said self-proclaimed political leaders. It seems to me that most of them do not represent our best interests for the most part. just my opinion!!
