On October 21, a commercial truck collided with an SUV along Interstate 10 a few miles east of Los Angeles. The dashcam footage instantly went viral: we witness the final moments of husband and wife Clarence and Lisa Nelson as their vehicle, stopped in traffic, is vaporized by the truck. Its driver? A 21-year-old illegal immigrant from India, Jashanpreet Singh, who didn’t stop or even attempt to slow down before impact.
In August, Harjinder Singh, an Indian migrant who entered America illegally in 2018 and was (again, illegally) issued a commercial driver’s license by both Washington and California, attempted to execute an illegal U-turn with a semi across the Florida turnpike. Failing to check before making the turn, Mr. Singh pulled his truck right in front of a minivan doing 70pmh that had no chance to slow down or stop. The impact instantly killed all three people in the minivan. An image of Singh standing next to his truck, showing what many saw as no remorse, went viral along with dashcam footage and a video of Singh struggling to speak English to police.
Not being able to communicate with police is one thing, but if you can’t speak English you probably can’t read American road signs.

What in the hell is going on in trucking?
I’ve been trucking across North America for over 25 years. For those of us in the industry, incidents like these are just another Tuesday. In 2023, the Center for Migration Studies counted over 200,000 undocumented workers in trucking and related fields. Others claim we’re dealing with as many as 600,000. It’s likely that ~10-20% of drivers operating big rigs on our roads are here illegally.¹
