    If some driver came over with a green card and stayed for decades. Why didn’t they show their patriotism and fight for this country. Plenty of opportunity and quick way to citizenship. Ah, most only want to suck from the tit and not serve. No better way to show you belong by potentially dying or being blown apart for the privilege.

    Being able to communicate and understand English already isn’t enforced. Cabotage regs aren’t enforced. If they’re going to enforce a new regulation they could just as easily enforce two that already exist. This is sort of like those that call for gun control after a shooting when murder is already illegal.

    What are you even talking about? What fight for this country? What sucking from the tit and not serve? Green card holders pay taxes and can get drafted to war the same way as citizens.

    I never ran into one drafted green card holder in Iraq or Afghanistan. Just sayin. Paying taxes, to include not paying from all the exemptions is not really serving. Just for show and tell… What does it say on a green card? I know. Legal Alien.

    Can still be deported. Not the same protections as a citizen. If you want to be treated like one. Show a little effort, fill out a form, go thru the test, clearance, and ceremony. Fast tracked if you prove worth by serving in our military. Truth about the foreign drivers that make up most of the fuel island clogging are not going to go the route. They are here to exploit an open system to their gain. I don’t blame them personally. They are trying to better themselves and their families back home. But many are done with giving everything away to foreigners that don’t become citizens and our kids suffer a dismal economy. That ship has sailed. Welcome to 2025.

    I went back to the country of my birth last year. My home city has a slightly larger foreign born population now than native. They have completely sucked all the resources out of the city without contributing more than they take. A lot is crumbling. Crime at all time highs. However, the elections just came through a few weeks ago. Things have changed over there now and some are trying to salvage what they can. It’s probably too late…

    There was no draft since 1973.

    Exactly. So you don’t show thanks for the new country by only serving in a draft?! Your attitude is exactly what I mean in the foreigners that are clogging up the fuel isle. You run to the opportunity to serve your new country, not find excuses. I served with a few foreign born patriots that are now dual citizens. They are not what u you see wrecking our industry or economy. We had conflicts on the last years from Kosovo, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, or now on our boarders. Every immigrant that volunteers is a position a citizen doesn’t have to take. That is service to your new home country.

    So if you are a 30 year old dude with wife and kids who gets an opportunity to move to France for twice the money you make here in US, you would go enlist in Army for 4 years upon arriving there?



    Are you familiar with American's public perception of those who go to army nowadays? The same as of truck drivers. If you are poor, uneducated, rural folk you become a truck driver (or enlist in military)
