So do you think it is wrong to mandate vaccinations on non citizens entering the country? If you do, better take that up with the State Department and INS. Because they are actually the ones that set that policy, and it applies for all non citizens.
And my wife is actually laughing at this. She had to leave nursing (her left ankle was shattered in an accident) and became a truck driver. She got her vaccinations as soon as they were available, and has had no problem. She is also not a US citizen. However, she also only drives inside the US, so that does not apply to her at all.
But tell me, how many drivers are actually protesting because non-citizen drivers from other countries have to get vaccinated? Because most drivers for years have been screaming about the low paid and unsafe drivers from other countries are making it harder for them to work.
But in the end there is a simple solution. Not a US citizen? Then simply do not take routes out of the country. There, problem solved. But I doubt that if you asked 1,000 truckers, most of them would rather see all of the truckers from Mexico off the roads to begin with.
You can find the entire story at the New York Times (free registration required). You might have noticed that Mexican trucks have been in the news lately. Who wins and who loses when Mexican trucks are allowed to carry cargo into the United States? DOES NAFTA THREATEN U.S. SOVEREIGNTY? When...

As I said, the Anti-Vaxxer Moron Parade. I have seen a lot of coverage of this, and most of the statements of the truckdrivers were hilariously wrong. And not a single one whined that they were upset that the non-citizens were the only ones required to get them. But a lot of them were screaming that it would become a mandate (even though that will never be as it is Unconstitutional).
