Kiwi trucker busted in big US immigration scam
The trucking industry says a shortage of New Zealand drivers is being made worse by promises of a higher income overseas.This comes after a Kiwi truck driver sunk a major immigration scam which officials say allowed hundreds of foreign truckers, mostly New Zealanders, to illegally enter the US.
The unnamed driver was caught sneaking across the Canadian border with an official letter saying he was waiting for a visa renewal to work for another firm.
But it was found to be on of at least 260 visas illegally supplied by a local politician.
I’ve always said the Mexican truck problem is minor compared to the immigration and visa problem we now have.
Trucker from New Zealand sneaking across the Canadian border. It doesn’t get any better!

Doing jobs American’s won’t do? Heh.
Yeah, “outsorcing” ain’t really the best option. Immigration is strong as never before, but one should look at why this is happening.
