    Many years ago and a faded memory sent me on a research expedition :)

    My memory was wrong so I’m trying to straighten out my misleading statement.

    One is still required to physically enter the US to apply for asylum which the driver did making him legal to be in the USA.

    The program that was created, cancelled and I believe reinstated was the CAM program.

    "The American Trucking Association supports the halt on visas, despite the nation's driver shortage..."
    The is the largest load of steaming cow pies. The ATA is not your friend. They are the enemy.

    I wondered that myself. Then I decided it was quietly done by an individual who put his job at risk because it was too important that the video be exposed. I'm thinking someone in law enforcement.

    That is one thing i dislike about modern day.. there is now way a guy will ever be given a fair trial with all the media coverage. I still believe in being given your day in court no matter how heinous the crime... But the way the media covers these stories now, its impossible to not hear about it in some way and therefore getting a biased jury

    That was definitely the best thing that could’ve happened out of this incident… That video being released has really woken people up to just how bad this problem really is and it’s gotten people to look into the situation even further
