I just noticed a vague drivers coming to Boston from different States especially from Florida with a driver's license from there. I heard that most don't have paper works: green card, US citizens...they just apply for Business ID number than they can have a driver's license without a SSN. I think Uber does not check if their drivers are legal to work in the USA.
Any ideas about what is happening.

Call INS, they will be happy to talk to you.

I bet that lots of those drivers with Florida plates are Puerto Ricans and therefore US citizens.

Huh? Wtf?

you didn't know PR is the 51 st state? LMAO

I had a friend who didn't realize New Mexico is a U.S. state.

Seems that's not so unheard of by Americans.

I am not sure about different pates and cars I see, but in general Uber does not care if you are citizen or legally in usa.

I know that it should, and probably will be, the 51st state. What I don't get is the correlation that Ty makes between Puerto Ricans and Florida plates.

Those cars could very well be rentals.

Ask a Brazilian about it. There are thousands of them driving illegally.

Yep, also many guys with one account

There are lots of Puerto Ricans in Florida

 

[asian_storm]

Guys, Puerto Rico is no a state

 

[E30addixt]

There are lots of Puerto Ricans in Florida

Florida is predominately white according to census info?

Pretty big stretch to claim Florida plates must have a Puerto Rican driver since Florida is filled with Puerto Ricans.

Pretty odd statement from you, unless you're just in a trolling mood.....

 

[Goodellsux]

There are lots of Puerto Ricans in Florida

Also lots in New York, probably the largest population of Puerto Rican's that live stateside, but no one assumes a NY plate in MA has a PR driver.

Puerto Ricans are us citizens bud. not sure where the confusion came in on that one

I feel many Americans are still confused on that, and perhaps always will be.

I'm afraid that if you tell some America-born people that Haiti or Dominican Republic are U.S states or territories, they may believe it. Many seem woefully ignorant on local geography (including me) at times. Canada? Many Americans seem to think they have providences up there, not provinces.

Some educated Americans don't know where or what New England is, or which states are included; I've met them while giving rides (they don't even realize Connecticut is part of New England).

 

[alaex]

Is what right?

 

[RidingDirty]

Who cares. They are here working, making a better life for themselves. It's not for some of you racist scumbags to assume they are illegal because they are Puerto Rican or drive with Florida plates. Again shows why most of you couldnt hold a real job. Keepin it classy UPN. Wouldnt expect much less in here

 

[john1975]

No you are wrong. But Uber has to hire whoever they can. If Uber actually only hired those who were really qualified we’d be making 75-100 per hour. So that isn’t going happen.

Qualified? Kidding me right?? Aren't they trying driverless cars? The only qualification you need for this job is a phone and a license. Other than that a monkey could do this.
