Daily Caller- Federal immigration authorities nabbed nearly 100 illegal migrants driving 18-wheelers off a single highway as the Trump administration continues to crack down on migrant commercial drivers.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, working alongside the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, arrested 91 illegal migrants operating a commercial motor vehicle with commercial driver licenses (CDL) during a three-day operation along I-40, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Altogether, deportation officers took 120 illegal migrants into custody for immigration violations. more
It’s a good start. The problem is an order of magnitude greater.
Do American citizens still drive truck?
Please do the DFW area! I was almost struck by a big dump truck (cab with trailer) whose driver decided that he didn’t need to stop to make a right turn on red.
Imagine someone who can’t read or speak English driving a vehicle with trailer that can exceed 70,000 pounds. That’s a weapon that can kill many at one time.
Would 100 nabbed per state make a dent in illegals driving illegally? Someone knows.
Don’t know where this was or if the driver was an illegal, but he had 18 illegals hidden in the cab. He got busted:

OOPS! Wife wants new sidewalks and called the outfit that just did a bunch of work for my daughter. Seems ICE grabbed his father and entire crew of workers on Monday. Nabbed them on the way home from a job in Rolling Meadows IL. (Northwest of Shitcago). No longer has any employees.
His father has been here “forever” and you wonder why they don’t get their status legalized. Or for that matter learn to speak the language better, SIL could only communicate with owner (son of the guy they grabbed).
When I pretended to work security they often wanted to use the “smart phone app.” Wouldn’t do it. If you can’t understand English I guess you won’t be making deliveries. But then 95% of the workers there were Mexican and would handle it for me. That or hand signals pointing to where overnight parking was. They didn’t care for my “bad attitude.” Delivery from produce brought up from Mexico. I could go on…
Then there was the time five Mid Easterns were in the tractor and had a hole cut in the floor for “bathroom use.” Only stopped for fuel and nothing else. Bottom of the trailer was coated with excrement. When checking the seals on the rear of the trailer there was a certain aroma. Load rejected and ended up sending the rig to a landfill after draining the engine and fuel tanks of things not allowed into the landfill. Lots of problems with that one… And people showing that “they could do there jobs!” You really want to try giving government officials a bunch of guff?
My understanding is deliveries are now by scheduled appointments only as they got tired of cleaning up shit in the overnight parking lot. You can’t tell me that all the rigs don’t start out with toilets installed. Or for that matter, couldn’t use a five gallon bucket with a lid???
Not as many stories as SNS, but almost…
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. In early April 2018, an illegal from India, driving an 18 wheeler did not stop for a STOP sign and hit a bus full of young hockey players from Humboldt – killing many and injuring the rest. He was arrested and after serving time, has been deported back to India.
I will be moving next spring and will check to ensure that the moving company hires competent people.
Claudia, those 18 illegal beaners couldn’t find a telephone booth to cram themselves all into like college kids used to do as a prank. As if they could even find a telephone booth. They’re crammed in there tighter than sardines are packed into a can.
