When I am out & about in the evenings and weekends, I always try to bless a veteran if I see them wearing a ballcap, tee-shirt, jacket or sweatshirt that states they are a veteran of some war or branch of the service I take time to thank them. Not a mamby pamby type of thank you but a heartfelt thank you. I do not take my freedom and rights we have in this country for granted because it was through their service to our country that has given me these precious freedoms. Today, when we look around with what is going on in our country it causes you as a citizen to wonder how many of those very freedoms are being mocked by people illegally invading our precious country. I was listening to local news talk radio last week and was perturbed by what I heard. I know I have seen crazy like driving on our highways and just thought they were bold, inconsiderate drivers. Well, did you know this is going on in the streets of our country now ... illegals that NEVER drove a car or never had a driver's physical road test let alone a driver's license from the country they originated from are driving on our streets amongst law abiding citizens. Citizens that did it the right way. Meaning, taking driving lessons, taking the written and practical drivers road test and submitted the proper paperwork/documentation required are being forced to drive on streets with illegals abusing our laws. How could they possibly be allowed without a driver's license to get a car and drive on our roads. How many of them don't even speak or read English understand our signs on the road let alone the laws of our country?
It is obvious that they have disregard for our laws, or they wouldn't be breaking the laws of our country and overflooding our country. Do we even know who they are and the diseases and disfunction they are bringing into our country. Why do we as legal citizens do not have a say so in this matter to keep our country safe like when we were growing up as children. I am not saying everyone coming into our country is a bad person, but it makes you wonder why they are doing this entrance into our country in such a blatant manner. We, I am sure could not and would not be allowed to crash borders of other countries around the world. They would say no at their borders if one even tried to do that silliness.
You know, one of my prior jobs was working at a DMV and I administered those very driving road tests and as you know me as a rules type of person, I made sure each person that passed their drivers test followed the rules and laws and listened to the instructions given to them. See, if they did not follow the instructions given then that was a part of not passing the test. How can you get in a vehicle with someone that spoke no English at all, and they followed the instructions given to them. How did you know they didn't speak English? It was obvious sometimes, sometimes when administering tests in the parking lot area before getting on the road for the driving portion of the test. I would have to tell the person that brought them there to take the test you cannot translate for them when I would ask simple instructions like turn on your right turning signal, press the brake etc. We had to make sure certain parts of their vehicle were in working order. I would have no problem saying to them stop they have to know and understand what I am saying before we get on the road.
So, you are instructing someone to turn right, and they keep going straight through the light. Caution, so you had to by using your hands since they didn't speak English direct them to pull into a parking lot. I then at that point had to get in the driver's seat and drive back to the DMV since they already failed the test. Was always told you do not let them know they didn't pass the test until safely back in the DMV parking lot. See, there was a certain nationality driving instructor known for this out there that would groom them on what to do to pass the parking lot portion of the test to allow them to go on the road test portion. There was a picnic table on the grounds, and he would bring them there to show them while we were conducting tests to see what they had to do when it was their turn. How dangerous it is for the employee getting into a car with someone that does not speak or understand English, and you are driving with them. It was bad back then and I can only imagine what it is like today. My belief is even the written test should only be given in English, not all the other languages they offered then. We speak and read English and our road signs are in English so if you really want to have the privilege of driving on our roads then take the time to learn English.
Here is another thought coming to mind now. So, all of the immigrants that paid the money required and classes taken to become a citizen in the legal way should be reimbursed any money they had to pay to receive citizenship. Do you think our government would do that? I think they should, considering, that illegals crashing our borders don't have to do it legally so why not reimburse legal citizens that obtained it the legal way. Hum, I wonder if my grandparents would qualify for some of that.
Back to the train of thought about veterans I converse with while shopping, going to the movie, eating dinner out, etc. When we talk about the state of our USA now, they inevitably will volunteer sharing with me that the only president that looked out for veterans and has helped them they say it was President Trump.
