It seems that lately there is an endless parade of evidence showing illegal immigrants behaving badly—or, at the very least, with lethal incompetence.  The latest example is the infamous Indian Sikh truck driver who made an unsignaled, last-minute U-turn, causing a family of three to crash into his trailer, killing them instantly.

An ex-girlfriend’s dad was a trucker for many years, and I remember him telling me that the state of the industry has really declined.  Instead of unionized drivers with rigorous training and employment protections, there are loads of young, hastily-trained, immigrant men driving recklessly.  As we saw with the Indian driver, many of these immigrants are here illegally, and come from cultures that do not hold human life sacred to the same extent as Western cultures.

Yours portly isn’t normally one for unions, which often seem to drive up labor costs and line the pockets of a handful of union leaders and their purchased politicians.  However, not all unions are bad, and unions can and do serve a purpose in certain industries and certain contexts.  Establishing some manner of bare minimum standards should be the goal for trucking (and many other professions).  I’d rather pay more for shipping on my cheap plastic crap than risk lives by hiring dirt-cheap, indifferent drivers from cultures that don’t value the sanctity of human (or, at the very least, white) life.

It’s pretty apparent that the Indian driver in question felt zero remorse for his actions; if anything, he just seems inconvenienced by the three people he killed.  Indians also seem indifferent, and care more about this murderer getting off scot-free than about the crime he committed.

“But Port,” you say, “couldn’t anyone make this mistake?”  Sure.  But here’s the key, and one that some people never understand:  he shouldn’t have been here.  It’s bad enough when an American citizen commits a crime or makes a lethal mistake; it’s so much worse when the person had no right to be here in the first place.  It’s the ultimate “it never should have happened” moment.

For me, though, it’s the cultural disconnect and total lack of remorse for the taking of human lives that makes my blood boil.  We’ve been fatally generous and hospitable to foreign invaders, at the expense of our own safety, prosperity, and sovereignty.

It’s time for another dose of prescription-strength Deportemal: Bollywood Edition.
