    I thought it would make more of an impact if it was entirely made up of people nowadays referred to as white.

    A Home Depot close to my house has just replaced their entire morning shift with Latinos.

    I'm in that store around the same time in mornings at least once a week. I knew most the cashiers and several of the department associates by name.

    I missed two consecutive weeks and it's like another country now.

    They're all gone. Replaced. It's like they flicked a switch and poof! So many people speaking Spanish now and the ones that spoke English were barely decipherable.

    It's not just Trucking. It's the entire country.

    I've said this before....under another leader, I may be somewhat tolerant of this enforcement. Under this guy, who's proven repeatedly that he knows nothing, that he's a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and his following that share these same qualities, I think it's more racially driven. I can't get co-workers to even open an atlas, because they utilize the GPS too much. I agree, it isn't the foreigners. It's the path to getting a CDL that's the issue, as well as a lack of comprehensive training. That's the root of the problem. If they went directly to the root, it'd actually eliminate more American drivers than it would foreign drivers, and many of them are his followers. Not speaking English is no longer a big deal because technology has protected those folks. The reasons for fatalities are almost never addressed which is the aforementioned path and training, as well as speed.....that's a bigger reason for unsafe highways and fatalities than this narrative.
