Being A Trucker In Europe For Non-European Trucker?

To answer your question, yes I am an ancestor of the original settlers of America(mid 1600s English), unlike you, and I am perfectly comfortable with my attitude. Why did you leave your home country for mine only to lecture me? I sincerely want an an answer.

@Phil M.Are you, a descendant of immigrants, comfortable with this anti-immigration attitude? How many generations ago has your family come here?

Phil, here's the thing. You're acting as if you have some sort of special privilege for living here. We all have ancestors we owe for us being here today. They blessed us with opportunities we didn't earn. They just handed them to us. You too.

So don't act like anyone has to answer to you for being here. You are not the gatekeeper to this land.

And why do you think you can harass people who want to come here? Maybe the rest of us welcome people who want to make a better life for themselves. They'll contribute to our lives and our society in a way that's mutually beneficial. You can speak your mind, but I'd bet you're not in the majority.

Welp, your the mod asking me a question and blocking my reply. So there's that.

First of all, you are not an ancestor of those settlers, you are their descendant. Second, I have no intention of lecturing you - I lecture only when I am asked or paid. Finally, to your question. I left my home country for exactly the same reason as your ancestors did - I was looking for a better life.

Burn sauce

He can lecture if wants to. The constitution grants him that right. It's the beautiful thing about this country and what makes it special.

Phil, put yourself in the shoes of an immigrant. You have a family, but violence and poverty are what you live with. Wouldn’t you want to go to the US to get a better life? Of course you would, but you would deny it for others? Take Andrew for example. Hard working, contributing to the economy, doing productive work. I’m happy that he is here and I congratulate him on making it happen. The vast majority of immigrants are productive and do jobs that most Americans don’t want to do

Maybe you should move to Mexico, Central America or Afghanistan. How soon would you like to come back here?

I meant Andrey

I bet Phil is one of those drivers who says stuff on the CB that makes me turn it down for awhile...

Wow, Ole Phil is a bit over the top here. Sure your name isnt Karen (no offense to any Karens).

So, eh. The first western Europeans who made it here were Spanish by and Large. That was after a stop in the Bahamas that they mistakenly thought was India. Though they eventually did end up settling here among various other nations, they didnt move in on their first visit. In all practicality settlements wouldnt be established for another 75 years or so. So basically youre saying that your Spanish then? and you actually can prove your lineage going back to the Conquistadors?

Perhaps you live in some misguided dream world where a bunch of good ole boys settled here in conestoga wagons that had Kenworth emblems on em and they all spoke in southern accents?

Is it annoying that many of the immigrants, especially the illegal variety that come here today refuse to assimilate into our unique American culture? Absolutely. Their habits and customs often are in direct opposition to western culture and values in many ways.

But that does not mean that we are to just blindly and absurdly attempt to prevent their being here. Rather we teach them our customs and try to get them to assimilate into culture.

There will always be waves of immigration. We need to accentuate legal immigration and prevent illegal immigration. If you had worked for as long as I did in an unregulated industry such as construction, you would embrace the regulations that we have in the trucking industry, The regulations help prevent companies from devaluing the wages by hiring cheap illegal unskilled labor. They do this by ensuring compliance with legal immigration and standards. Yes, some slip through, but its systemically far less. Ive got nothing against legal immigrants. Most of them that I have talked to seem to have the same value on freedom and work ethics that us good ole boys do.

Well said Davy!
