Capacity crunch incoming

"as a matter of fact she has a business helping other immigrants get legal"
They are not immigrants if they are not here legally, they are illegal aliens. They are supposed to be legal before they ever cross the border. And not overstay any kind of visa. Asylum laws were made for and state for political and/or religious persecution. And it was intended for people to apply and be approved before they entered the USA. But the last administration allowed asylum seekers for just about any reason. Cross the border, claim asylum after the fact, after the law was broken. Most interviewed at the border said they were looking for a better life. Get a hearing years down the road and disappear into the shadows. Something like 80% never show for a hearing.

 

Whatever dude. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Stop crying please.getting cdl 5 years ago was a joke compared to now…. Europeans learned from people like you, how to rewrite logs, bypass scales etc. Nothing is new in the industry, don’t tell me you’ve never seen a Peterbilt pulled over 2 exits before the coop and torn yellow papers are flying out of the window of loose leaf… blame the people who allowed this mess, and not people who learned “trucking” from folks like you.

 

Get a grip

 

Those old Peterbilts had a whole different class of drivers than the new Tupperware trucks. Most of them were safe, decent drivers, who, even if they were over their hours, were still more than capable of piloting a large car down the highway. Many of the current crop of steering wheel holders are hardly capable of driving when they are wide awake.

 

You have repeated the claim that asylum seekers were to apply in their respective country..this is not true, they have to apply in the us on us soil. This information is easily found if you look.

You may be confusing it with CAM (central american minors) This was a program setup to stop the unaccompanied minors from showing up at the border. They, minors only were allowed to apply from their country. This program was canceled by the current administration in their first term.

 

You are correct on that point. May have changed at one point. But this is correct:
To be granted asylum in the U.S., you must prove that you have suffered past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution in your home country. This persecution must be on account of one of five specific protected grounds:

• Race
• Religion
• Nationality
• Membership in a particular social group
• Political opinion

Economic hardship or wanting a better life does not qualify. Most interviewed at the border say it is for economic reasons. And they have found notes where they are coached on what to say.
And the whole point is we don't need all these foreigners. It is not only in trucking that they come here and work cheap and take jobs.

 

Eh, I don’t want to get into the politics of why they come or conspiracy theories of how.

Just pointing out that they need to show up at a border crossing unlawfully to eventually apply for asylum. They get arrested at the point of entry and get put through the system and eventually bond out.

All four of my grandparents migrated here so I understand what motivates them.
