Here I go with another unpopular opinion......I like it that they're giving these foreigners an opportunity to work, and as stated in the article, a much cleaner path to citizenship. I can't understand the disdain towards foreigners trying to come here and work. All of your ancestors did the exact same thing when America was born, in fact, they did it wayyyyy more violently. I thought America was the land of opportunity, or does that only apply to a select few people? I agree with @DUNE-T very much a click bait article that riles up truckers, and I'll add that it exposes their prejudices.
More foreigners on the road

Anyway, unless you're here on a work visa you're speaking out of context.
We're talking specifically about imported labor. This is a huge problem. American citizens/businesses should never have to compete with imported labor. It creates an unfair advantage for us for obvious reasons.Last edited: Dec 14, 2024

It can promoted, but it's just a scam. OTR drivers are not imported nowadays. During our discussion I even asked in the largest Russian speaking Facebook truck drivers group (over 30k people in there I believe) if anyone is here on H2B, there was not a single driver, only one mechanicbroke down plumber, Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
I personally am annoyed as hell to how many people were let in through Mexican border during last few years.
Before I got my visa to come here I had to get certain vaccines, proof of clean criminal record, proof of the place I am going to stay at and whatever else, while people were just let in through the fence without any kind of background checks.
When I arrived in 2004 all the immigrants were trying to help and cared for other immigrants , there were not that many. Now it's an insane amount coming in and people are angry at each other.
For example people were cleaning houses and offices for $20hr during last few years. When the new immigrant wave came in, the prices dropped to $12 per hour. So if you have immigrated here 5 years ago and got to experience higher income, you will be extremely pissed off at someone who just came in last year and took your job for half the pricebroke down plumber, austinmike, Gearjammin' Penguin and 7 others Thank this. -
