Dan Crenshaw Wants To Give Well-Paying Protester Positions To Canadian Truckers

Republicans aren’t crazy about refugees. A common GOP lie during the 2016 elections was that Democrats wanted to admit “unvetted’ Syrian refugees. Rightwing media was ablaze with talk about a dangerous “migrant caravan” that miraculously vanished after the 2018 midterms. Conservatives have consistently painted desperate (brown) people as an existential threat to the nation.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, however, has suddenly remembered all that “give me your tired” and “huddle masses” stuff. The Texas congressman fully supports the anti-vaxx Canadian truckers illegally blocking roadways. He’s even taken it upon himself to throw open America’s doors for them. He tweeted Tuesday:

Quick note to Canadian truckers being fired and now targeted as “terrorists” by your woke government: The USA has a trucker shortage AND a work visa program. Here’s the link:





This is presumably not a joke, because Crenshaw is a serious politician who proposes serious legislation and solutions for his constituents. He’s not a common Twitter troll like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, that’s what he’s said, at least. He’s publicly chastised Greene while perhaps secretly envying her style.

Republicans are attacking our neighbor to the north, a major ally, because Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has (perhaps belatedly!) taken decisive action against the truckers' lawless “protest.” It’s not “woke” when a government cracks down on blockades that have cost the automative industry almost $300 million in lost wages and production. It’s law and order capitalism.
