Deport Foreign Taxicab Drivers

We have an abundance of foreigners who drive taxi cabs.

Most of the taxi drivers in Chicago are not citizens. I stand firm with the Chicago alderman seeking to require Taxi drivers to have dress uniforms. There are far to many total taxi cab's in Chicago, you can constantly see 1 out of 2 driving around without hire. They pollute and are becoming increasingly unregulated and need to be taxed.

Taxi Drivers want to increase a one dollar charge on all customers, yet they seem to have a lack of knowledge of how to follow the Illinois Rules of the Road. They blantantly ignore the; speed limits, lane changes, stop signs, and pedestrian walk ways. These taxi cab businesses have became a gateway for foreigners to enter the United States. These aren't typical European immigrants, these people arrive from all corners of the globe in Middle Eastern and central Asian countries. Then they aren't willing to speak English, or even Spanish when they are off work and tour this great land.

What gives them the right to drive around U.S. citizens? In the meantime, we have poor African Americans begging on the street side. Surely, It would seem logical to create a state program to start replacing the Taliban taxi cab driver with a poor local citizen struggling to get by. Thanks to government inefficiencies, or liberal practices we have allowed foreigners to operate vehicles that transport the general public abroad. These Taliban taxi cab drivers should have to work in the slaughter packing houses as immigrants used to. Its time to let them drink some swine blood from a small can that they can tie to their waist belt.

"There certainly can't be much Homeland Security in Chicago, when there are more foreign taxi drivers than police officers."
The City of Chicago needs transform itself from an International City, and to be a Great All-American City. We need to start with new license requirements.

I challenge every Illinois Law Maker to create a state statute requiring all taxi drivers, and public transportation drivers to be U.S. citizens.

Update Note:
One Janurary 30, 2006 Retired General Wesley Clark gave a speech about foreign policy. In the beginning of his speech he remarked, "Unlike the taxi cab driver, I was born here in the U.S., and told about all the states he lived in! Beautiful I felt like he must have read this post...

Study confirms most NYC cab drivers are foreign born
NEW YORK (AP) — More than eight out of 10 of the city's cab drivers are recent immigrants, a taxi industry consultant reports, a percentage that has risen significantly in the past two decades.

An analysis of U.S. Census figures shows that 84% of yellow cab and limousine drivers are foreign-born, up from 64% in 1990 and 38% in 1980, according to the study issued Tuesday by consultant Bruce Schaller.
