Twenty-one blue states and D.C. will not share CDL data and want to keep illegal aliens with CDLs driving semis. Many of the drivers went to a sham driving school, and many don’t speak English. They don’t have the skills or knowledge to drive an 80,000-pound truck.
The DOT is entitled to all the records. These states have sued to keep Secretary Duffy from obtaining the records. They want to keep these illegal aliens on the road and don’t care about the safety of Americans.
Democrats online are attacking Sec. Duffy for going after unqualified drivers.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted the lawsuits in a public statement.
“Every administration since 1988 has had access to this basic database, so let’s be clear on what this ridiculous lawsuit is really all about. These radical state AGs want to make it harder for my Department to enforce the rules of the road and easier for dangerous illegal immigrant truck drivers to operate a big rig,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.
“They may not care about keeping you and your family safe, but President Trump and I do. We will fight this lawsuit tooth and nail to prevent more senseless crashes by unqualified drivers.” “They may not care about keeping you and your family safe, but President Trump and I do. We will fight this lawsuit tooth and nail to prevent more senseless crashes by unqualified drivers.”
One is off the road:

Crash in Illinois involving three semis over the weekend.
Anyone who issues a CDL to a non English speaker needs to be severely punished.
