Ever year, thousands of trucks are involved in fatal accidents. In 2022, fatal large truck crashes peaked at an average 16 deadly crashes per day.
In the last few months, less than a dozen such crashes involved people who DHS claims are unlawfully present. From that, a moral panic has been created.
