Mike Collins, a congressman from Georgia, wants to take away commercial driver’s licenses from noncitizens. Over the past 25 years, truckers for his businesses have been involved in crashes that killed five people and injured more than 50 people.
It’s not even projection. He has a trucking business. If there are fewer truckers, he (and everyone else in the business) can charge higher rates for his company’s services. It’s pure homegrown red-blooded American greed. The remaining truckers may get to demand more pay but that cost will be passed on to the customers too. And all those costs will be paid for by consumers buying groceries and shit. Just so he could make a bit more money.
This would be grounds for impeachment in any sane country. In mine the media would have a field day demolishing his reputation.
