Truckers went from being revered in pop culture as the archetype of the “last American cowboy” in the 1970s and ’80s to teetering on the edge of irrelevance today. Why has the perception of the trucking industry by the American public “gone completely down the toilet”? There are many reasons the rugged individualists of yesteryear have fallen from glory, but chief among them may be staring us right in the face: cheap foreign labor, explains Gord Magill, author of the forthcoming End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers.
Micro-managers who do not want do anything, are a growing problem. I have run into them at banks.
I would love to hear Ms. Winc interview Gord!
The illegal alien is a scourge upon this nation in so many ways; Six to ten illegal aliens living in a single-family dwelling to afford the rent. Several beat up cars parked out front and, on the lawn the overburdened plumbing and living space deteriorating at ten times the norm and not maintained. The illegal alien has no anchor to the community he invades and no loyalty to the country.
Aliens taking American jobs because the work cheap. Driving without essential skills and lacking the most basic English.
The American truckers I have known, and there are many, are skilled workers who care deeply about performing their duty with pride. Yes, indeed they are the last American Cowboys. Companies hiring illegal aliens or aliens on Temporary Status (Biden illegals) should be seen for what they are, anti-American.
