Texas Arrests Illegal Immigrant Truckers with Licenses from Woke California
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that state and federal authorities apprehended 31 illegal immigrant commercial truck drivers during a one-day enforcement sweep along Interstate 40, escalating concerns about unvetted and improperly licensed commercial drivers operating nationwide…
“While liberal states like California issue licenses to illegal immigrants and risk the lives of Americans, Texas will work with our federal partners to maintain safe roads and apprehend illegal immigrants to protect our communities.”
That powerful statement from Texas Governor Greg Abbott gets right to the point. He was responding to a stunning joint operation where authorities in the Texas Panhandle apprehended 31 commercial truck drivers in a single day. The common thread? Every last one of them was in the United States illegally, and the overwhelming majority were carrying Commercial Driver’s Licenses issued by the great state of California.
Let’s not pretend this is some clerical error. This is policy. California has proudly declared itself a sanctuary state (big surprise, right?), and it seems its DMV has become a one-stop shop for any illegal alien who wants to command an 80,000-pound missile. The state knowingly hands out licenses to people who can’t even prove they are in the country legally.
This isn’t about a driver’s license to get to the grocery store. We are talking about the complex credentials needed to operate some of the most dangerous vehicles on the planet. Yet, thanks to systemic corruption and a brazen refusal to enforce federal English-proficiency standards, California is putting unqualified and unvetted foreign nationals behind the wheel. They have chosen to prioritize their woke agenda over American lives, exporting the inevitable danger to every other state.
