And I stress once again, a Mexican driver can not take a load from one US city to another US City
No one is holding the poor down. They reap the results of their own decisions and life choices. They're just as free as anyone else to be self-supporting, contributing members of society, or to be poor, and they've made the choices themselves that result in them being poor.
I guess then the Trump children made the choice to be born into a wealthy family. Pity the poor guy who didn't make the same choice so instead of him/her moving into their father's business they chose to join the Armed Forces and as a result now suffer from PTSD and are unable to hold down a job and are on the streets.
Yeah sure they made that choice.
Then too there are those who don't wish to be wealthy but only want to be paid an honest day's pay for a honest day of work and some assurance that they won't be replaced by the boss's son-in-law when they report for work on Monday.
Using your logic I guess they made that choice and thus must suffer the consequences (in spite of their values and compassion for others) of not being born into a wealthy family.

Last time I checked, California is till part of USA. Why should Mexicans even be allowed to take the load?
