Catherine Rampell Finds Downside to Barring Illegal Truck Drivers – Twitchy

Remember the joke headline, ‘Trump Cures Cancer, Doctors Hardest Hit’? Well, ‘journalist’ Catherine Rampell did the thing for real.

Trump found a new way to raise prices.
We’re losing 200,000 commercial truck drivers, thanks to rule barring immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of DACA from obtaining commercial licenseshttps://t.co/TPxcn5d8tr

Citing a misleading Washington Post hit piece, ‘journalist’ Rampell found her angle and it’s as awful as you might guess. The replies and quote Tweets did a great job calling it out.

How many children have to be killed by idiot truck drivers from Haiti and Turkmenistan for you to enjoy cheap Fiji water, Catherine? https://t.co/jYpVIcCf9V

‘Fiji water’. It’s fun to say and poignant at the same time.

Guys, your wives and daughters have to be ran over by illegal alien truck drivers so Cathrine can order shitty products from Amazon https://t.co/20HQ7FPVJ4

You know, someone at the Cato Institute is making this exact point  but with prettier words and a cost/benefit analysis. 

A few of your kids being killed on the highway is a small price to pay for her to get makeup a little cheaper. https://t.co/Hg4gxQhppt

Just like with illegal immigration, biological men in women’s prisons and domestic Islamic terrorism, you need to put up with it or you’re a phobe of some variety, so shut up.

Are you saying Trump just created 200,000 jobs for Americans?

Interesting point. We thought liberals were for a living wage, while this line of argument is for pushing wages down. 

imagine thinking anyone who isn’t a laughable numbskull like you thinking illegal truck drivers who can’t read or write slaughtering innocent people is “trumps fault?”

When you put it that way, it sounds kind of bad.

200,000 new jobs foe legal, and you’re complaining you 5 watt bulb?

Are you saying that that illegal immigrants are driving our busses and subways too? Because it sounds like you’re saying that illegal immigrants are driving our busses and subways too, and that seems unwise. 

To the earlier point that the article is PropSlop*, the WaPo article itself is misleading.

This article is misleading.

Non-domiciled Immigrants that have current active licenses are given either a 5-year grace period or expiration date of their current CDL (which ever comes first).

In that time, if an immigrant wants to continue truck driving, they can complete the… https://t.co/8QNjNv4RYO

*Propaganda Slop, you heard it here first, folks!

Shorter:

“200,000 non-English speaking illegal alien truck drivers will be removed from the roads Monday, making it safer for Americans & their families to travel.”

Fixed it for you.

Very good point, but don’t expect it to sink into the skulls of the liberal media class.
