from the article:
<According to interview notes, Tornado officials told investigators that Mr. Tapia couldn't speak English and would need a translator.
An Arkansas Highway Patrol investigator told them "it was illegal for the company to use a driver who cannot read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the public," the notes said. "Immediately, the company official and driver Tapia stated he could speak and understand English.">
typical.
once again.. even with all the problems here, there is a REASON that i choose to live in the US and not mexico. we USED to have labor laws that meant something... but apparently.. since we are more interested in getting cheap slave labor these days and not 'offending' anyone... than preserving our quality of life... that's all going down the toilet. now we have the mexican way of life being imported here... to the point where it becomes a safety issue and affects everyone's quality of life.
what if this was YOUR family who was killed by this driver??? would it be an important issue then??
but since no one who has any power gives a rat's arse about the illegal immigration problem,, then get ready for more of the same, folks.
btw... the reason this is an 'ILLEGAL' immigration problem is obvious.. i don't have to explain myself. the words 'illegal' and 'immigration' have become blurred these days. we can assume that most mexican immigrants are illegal, which they are.
The priority of elected officials should be American citizens, not corporations or illegal aliens!!!!
