This is an old argument that brings out the racists and bigots who want to blame immigrants for all the problems in our country.

And sometimes they're the fault of some illegal who can't speak English to read signs, who can't pass a proficiency test, and shouldn't be in this country. Sometimes the fault is someone who looks the other way and accepts things saying "its the will of allah...or god"

You seem to think just because the regulation exists, that criminals would never break the rules and regulations.

I wonder how that works with prostitution? How many reviews have you posted?

Sigh, you don't understand it at all. All trucks have to follow this https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations

California didn't write rule they just copied and were supposed to enforce those regulations.

In 2024, there were approximately 5,078 fatalities resulting from large truck accidents in the United States.

Comparison with Previous Years
YEAR FATALITIES
2023 4,354
2024 5,078

Weight Discrepancy: Trucks can weigh 20 to 30 times more than passenger vehicles, increasing the severity of accidents.

Braking Distance: Loaded trucks require 20% to 40% more distance to stop compared to cars.

Driver Behavior: Speeding, fatigue, and inadequate training are significant factors in truck accidents.

Certain states report higher numbers of truck accidents due to factors like traffic density and road conditions. For example, Texas consistently has the highest number of truck accidents annually.

How many of those deaths involved immigrant drivers? I’m guessing few to none. But I’m guessing that the facts don’t really matter in this discussion.

Statistics don't lie but liars use statistics.

It’s sad when someone has to resort to calling someone a liar instead of actually making a real argument.

In my opinion The DOT rule change is punitive. The following statement sums up the matter perfectly.

For the Trump administration, the cruelty is the point,” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said in a public statement at the time. “This is a spiteful and illegal rule issued with no justification except to hurt hundreds of thousands of lawful immigrants with work authorization who only want to build a better life for themselves and their families.”
