new Border Patrol op in AZ nabs 36 illegal aliens operating 18-wheelers on the highways | Eastern NC Now

An operation by the Border Patrol in Arizona targeting illegal alien truck drivers has nabbed 52 illegal aliens.  Thirty six of them were actually behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler big rig when they were nabbed.  Of the 36 who were actually driving when caught, 29 of them had commercial drivers licenses from Democrat states and 7 of them did not have any drivers license at all.

This operation comes days after a migrant bus driver who could not speak English killed 5 Americans and injured 44 when he failed to slow down at a construction zone and plowed into slower traffic in Virginia.

This also comes shortly after the US Supreme Court ruled that trucking companies could be held liable for damages caused by migrant drivers they employ.

Do these trucking companies claim that driving trucks is "a job Americans won't do"????  No, they are cutting costs by hiring incompetent but cheap drivers, and making our highways unsafe in the process.
