It made national news that an illegal immigrant caused a deadly accident on the highway.

@trollslayer I mean I admit that it probably did in this case. But it's more like a symptom than a core issue.

@SinlessOnslaught i don’t. Whether he is an immigrant or not does influence whether he is a good driver. All persons who want to drive trucks should meet the exact same standard to obtain a license. The problem here - is that standard rigorous enough, was the standard followed, or are their other trucking industry regulations to consider (too many hours, etc). A white american guy from ohio could have caused the same wreck.

@trollslayer When it comes to the standard, speaking English is a federal CDL requirement for operating commercial vehicles in the U.S., as drivers must be able to understand and respond to public inquiries, highway signs, and official requests. If we’re talking about the same case here, this driver was not English fluent. Regardless of everything else the wreck was caused because he tried to do a u-turn on a highway. I would imagine or at least hope that most rational people wouldn’t do that in a car much less a semi-truck for obvious reasons. So everything else aside this really does come down to common sense and the lack of it or maybe just lack of care. Someone like that should’ve never been allowed behind the wheel.

@Spectra ☝🙄 This

@Spectra Sounds like he should not have been given a CDL die to lack of skills and lack of English fluency

@trollslayer exactly except in the sanctuary state of California

@trollslayer this is clearly putting California and it's policies on trial. They gave a person a commercial driver's licence who didn't have the necessary requirements. Was it an error that slipped through the cracks or was it a policy decision to assist an illegal. Either way 3 American citizens are dead and someone needs to be held accountable for putting him on the road
