    I agree, we need to go after those hiring illegals, if no jobs, they wont come

    mandatory 5 year sentence for anyone involved in knowingly hiring illegals

    This is already the law of the land. Explain how these several million illegals are going to support themselves. And why has this administration provided them this level of comfort and support? So, by your own admonition here, the federal agencies under the direction of Xiden should all now be in jail for 5 years. Great solution.

    What is the "Biden bottleneck" and what changed to cause it?

    Democrats in congress, the president, the HHS sec, the AG, et all.... yes, that's quite a list, and I'm fine with it. Do you suppose it should also include Chinese spies, so we get most if not all of the democrats the first time?

    That would be the bottleneck that occurred during his charge while his appointed Buttigieg took maternity leave.

    Prove that Trump hired them.

    And no, deflecting to X supervisor doing the hiring =/= Trump hiring them. You said Trump did it. Not someone in Trumps businesses.

    It was Reagan and the GOP that sent the manufacturing off our shores.

    So the bottleneck occured because Buttigieg took maternity leave.

    Could be one of the reasons.....he was Uncle Joe's man in charge. As Joe has said, "the buck stops with me" the bottleneck occurred under Joe's watch so it is the "Biden Bottleneck".

    Nixon was a terrible President, he should never have opened relations with China.

    Yep, invest in those money transfer businesses like Western Union, they're shipping cash back across the border like a tsunami.

    Actually no. One of my pass times after retiring was helping my better half move freight. She was a traffic manager for an RPM Inc division that manufactures caulking and other products. My favorite route was Cleveland, OH to Southern CA. I dealt with numerous owner operators ,,, none of whom owned trucks that would meet today's CA standard. My favorite OO expedited a load of floor mats that met Toyotas at CA ports. He got paid for a truckload to expedite and my freight went along for the ride - cheap. He and most other owner operators brought back produce.

    The CA route was very popular among Owner Operators because of the produce back-haul.

    It was a great way to apply advanced degrees in nuclear engineering in retirement ,,, just for its educational value. Everything moves by truck ... and the price to move freight depends on the availability of return freight.

    CA's environmental laws for trucks as the poster stated is one factor

    CA's AB 5 banning owner operators is another

    So, yes, in the wake of COVID lockdowns, with people being paid to stay home, the assertion that eliminating a large percentage of truckers from the business is a major factor is not grasping at straws.

    emission standards are a good thing.

    "owner operator" is still a business, and business regulations exist for a reason.

    And how much would the goods cost when Americans demand high wages to pay for high cost of living in the US?

    Ya and just because we are better at being a country doesn't mean we should house everyone that notices and wants to come here.

    Sorry.

    For all the reasons you say to vaccinate. "I don't wanna over run meh hospitals" is the exact reason why we can't flood in migrants because they will be flooding ALL the social services. Not just hospitals.

    Necessity being the mother of invention, we will be seeing driverless electric trucks before you know it. Pretty soon, we'll just need Democrats' illegals to put out the wildfires caused by their own campfires.
