Three people are dead because we do not deport illegal aliens

Three people are dead because we do not deport illegal aliens

It is just one case.  Three innocent people were killed in a highway accident caused by an illegal alien who should not have been in America … and should not have had the trucker license that enabled a totally unqualified and incompetent person to commit an utterly irresponsible, reckless and illegal action that resulted in vehicular homicide.

If you have not seen reports of the incident in the news, here are the details. 

On a stretch of the Florida Turnpike near Orlando, three innocent lives were lost in a horrific crash caused by a trucker making an illegal U-turn. The driver, according to reports, was not only unqualified to operate a commercial vehicle but also in the country illegally—one of the millions who have entered and remained under increasingly lax immigration policies of the Democratic Party in general and President Biden specifically.  This tragedy is more than a traffic accident. It’s a sobering reminder of the real-world consequences of policy decisions made far from the scene of the crash.  This wasn’t just a bureaucratic oversight. It was a systemic failure. And it cost three people their lives.  You can see the video of the accident here.

A Preventable Disaster

The facts are chilling. The trucker had reportedly obtained a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in California despite not meeting basic qualifications, including English proficiency—a federal requirement for CDL holders. His inability to understand road signs or communicate effectively in emergency situations raises serious questions about how he was certified to operate a multi-ton 18-wheeler on American roads.

California, where the trucker reportedly obtained his license, has long been at the center of debates over licensing undocumented immigrants. While the intention behind such policies is often humanitarian—allowing people to drive legally and safely—the execution can be flawed. If language requirements, safety standards, and background checks are ignored or waived, the result isn’t compassion. It’s chaos.

Commercial driving is a high-responsibility profession. Drivers must be able to read signs, respond to emergencies, and navigate complex traffic situations. When those standards are compromised, every other driver on the road is put at risk.

Connecting the Dots: Policy and Accountability

This case echoes a similarly devastating incident from the early 2000s, when a non-English-speaking truck driver—also improperly licensed—caused a fatal crash in Wisconsin that killed six children. That tragedy led to the conviction of Illinois Governor George Ryan, whose administration had allowed unqualified individuals to obtain licenses in exchange for bribes. The public demanded accountability then, and it should demand it now.

The Florida crash raises urgent questions: Who approved this driver’s license? Were proper background checks conducted? Did anyone flag his lack of qualifications? These are not rhetorical questions—they are the foundation of a necessary investigation. If negligence or corruption played a role – as it most certainly did — those responsible must be held accountable.

The Role of Immigration Policy

At the heart of this tragedy lies a broader debate about immigration enforcement. Critics of the current administration argue that President Biden’s border policies have created an environment where millions of undocumented individuals enter and remain in the country with little vetting. While many come seeking safety and opportunity, the lack of rigorous screening and enforcement can allow individuals who pose risks—whether through criminal intent or sheer unpreparedness—to slip through the cracks.

This isn’t about vilifying immigrants. It’s about demanding that the systems in place protect both newcomers and the citizens who share the roads, schools, and communities with them. When enforcement is weak and vetting is inconsistent, tragedies like this become more likely—not because of who someone is, but because of what the system fails to do.

Each year hundreds of thousands of Americans fall victim to millions of crimes and reckless disregard for safety standards involving illegal immigrants.  They are the victims of murders, rapes, assaults, home invasions, holdups, carjacking, shoplifting and looting, identity theft, gang violence, prostitution and sex trafficking.  Others fall victim of the drug trade and gang recruitment.

The goal isn’t exclusion—it’s safety. America has always been a nation of immigrants, but it must also be a nation of laws and standards. When those standards are ignored, lives are lost.

What Kind of Country Do We Want to Be?

Every policy has a human cost. In this case, the cost was three lives on a Florida highway. If we accept the left’s position that the millions who came to America illegally and without vetting should simply be allowed to stay – or even worse, to justify their actions by granting them the rights of citizens and even citizenship, itself – then we will have shown contempt for all those victims of illegal aliens – and their loved ones.  The American people deserve better. Illegal immigrants deserve better. And the victims deserve better.

So, there ‘tis.

      A point well taken.

    40,000 Americans die by gun every year. The vast majority are murdered or suicided by Americans, not illegals. Can we deport the guns?

    • Hammon

      Sure Dunger. If you’re man enough to take them. Why not deport trannies and democrats? Maybe the next time one of them comes unglued a good guy or gal with a gun might put a stop to it.

        How many trans and dems do you need killed, hammondunfer?

        • Hammon

          I didn’t say anything about killing anyone, fool. You democrat assholes like your own spin. I know that you’re referencing the Catholic school shooter. The goddamned fool was beyond crazy. But gathering up the guns would cause Detroit to turn out deadly weapons daily. The whole point is nobody gets to ban anything when the people stick together. And this is a huge issue. Don’t tread on us.

            I’m not sure what you’re talking about, , catholic School shooter?
            And what happens when someone treads on you, do you kill them?

            And I’m sorry if I’ve miscommunicated. I could’ve sworn when you said a good guy with a gun would stop them, you went kill them. And since you were talking about, them, being Democrats or trans, I must’ve misunderstood when you said a good guy with a gun would stop Democrats and trans.

            Thanks for clearing it up and when you say you want to kill people, you really don’t. Excellent.

    The author may be on to something here…..

    Every policy has a human cost. In this case, the cost was 47,000 lives across America and the leading cause of death in America’s most innocent; our children. If we accept the right’s position that the millions of legal and illegal American guns without sufficient vetting should simply be allowed to stay on the streets – or even worse, to justify their actions by granting them the 2A rights, then we will have shown contempt for all those victims of legal and illegal guns – and their loved ones.

    Every policy has a human cost. In this case, the cost was hundreds of thousands of innocent lives across America. If we accept the right’s position that the vaccines, masking, distancing, and shutdowns should simply be not allowed – or even worse, to justify their actions by saying the fact our policies resulted in us holding the 222nd worst death rate out of 238 other country’s policies – then we will have shown contempt for all those victims of our covid policies.

      Nice try Dunger. But perhaps you really are that stupid. Trust me. If I reasonably believe that someone needs to be shot, I will do it. Not about politics or differences of opinions. But potential dangerous and violent action will be and should be dealt with if possible. I would even protect democrats if necessary. But I also know that democrats have guns too. And they won’t give them up. As they shouldn’t. But keep your dick skinners off of mine.
