Five Dead on VA highway, Where is the Outrage

By Ray Cardello for June 1, 2026, Season 31 / Post 39

The Left loves to shine a spotlight on deaths attributed to actions by persons, entities, or administrations with Conservative leanings. There is outrage about the 13 military personnel who lost their lives during the current actions against Iran. They were apoplectic about the two residents who died due to interactions with ICE agents during protests in Minneapolis. Of course, there is the death of George Floyd that set off the Summer of Love with protests and incredible levels of damage to property across the country.

But when it comes to a national epidemic involving the deaths of innocent people, including entire families, by the actions of illegal aliens, you don’t hear outrage from the Left, but crickets, calls of racism, and obstruction to solutions. I am referring to the non-domiciled (often undocumented or improperly licensed) CDL drivers causing serious accidents as a result of driving violations, poor driving skills, or both. Non-domiciled is a new term conjured up by the Left to divert attention from the fact that many of these drivers are illegal aliens. Regardless of their citizenship status, none of these drivers should have been granted CDLs to drive big rigs because they cannot speak, read, or write English.

High-profile incidents involving undocumented CDL holders in recent years (especially 2025–early 2026) include:

  • Feb 2026, Indiana: Illegal alien (Kyrgyzstan) semi-truck driver ? 4 killed.
  • May 2026, California: Undocumented driver (India) ? 2 killed.
  • Multiple 2025 cases (e.g., Florida illegal U-turn ? 3 killed; California ? 3 killed; others).

These are tracked because they became political flashpoints, prompting DOT rules, tightening non-domiciled CDL issuance.

States like California and New York are issuing CDLs to unqualified individuals by the thousands, putting them behind the wheel of large vehicles and endangering everyone else on the road. Most of these people cannot speak or read English and therefore cannot obey safety signs that mean nothing to them. And what do the Governors of these states do when they are called out for this dangerous practice? Nothing, except sue the Federal government for enforcing the laws and making them stop. What is their motivation, or have we gotten to the point where laws are meaningless, as are the lives lost? It appears so, and their actions reinforce our beliefs.

Every life lost on the road leaves behind real people grieving — crosses, flowers, and flags marking spots where families were shattered in an instant.

We on the Right feel loss in every death of an innocent human being, and if someone needs to be held accountable, then so be it, and let the legal system bring justice to the guilty. But the Left has become a totally different animal, with little or no concern for what is legal or even what is right. They ignore the family of five wiped out in an instant and turn their attention to ensuring the driver has a comfortable bed, meals of his liking, and don’t even think of deporting him and separating him from his family. What about those dead family members lying on the highway covered with sheets? Did they get a choice? Did they get to live out their lives? Absolutely not. Was there any concern for the thousands who lost their jobs or businesses in Minneapolis, or were they more interested in the memorial park set aside for a lifetime criminal who had so many drugs in his body that he was a dead man walking before the Police ever touched him? And don’t get me started on the millions given to Floyd’s family for a wrongful death before the investigation was even complete.

No, there is something wrong with the Left, and it is festering in their core. They have lost respect for others and respect for themselves. They have abandoned decorum and common sense. They are not for anything, but just exist against the norm. They have no love of country and want to break down the borders, let anyone in, and tear this great country down, yet they have no idea what to replace it with. They have no leaders or direction and no longer want to debate issues but to lash out and attack their adversaries. It is not a healthy situation for them or us, and only with constant vigilance, love of family and country, and the courage to fight for all that is good and right will we survive and win this battle for America. May God bless and protect her.
