America’s truckers are sounding the alarm and finally getting the attention they deserve. American Truckers United co-founders Harvey Beech and Shannon Everett have publicly exposed a pattern where illegal immigrants are obtaining U.S. commercial driver credentials through loopholes that skirt proper vetting, and hardworking citizens are paying the price for it.
This isn’t conjecture — it’s a systemic failure that reached the attention of the federal government after a string of deadly crashes and audits showed states issuing non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses without rigorous checks. The Department of Transportation moved to tighten rules and the administration’s own officials admitted the current framework created an imminent hazard on the highways.
State and local enforcement has begun to uncover the scale of the problem, with coordinated checkpoints and audits revealing shocking numbers of drivers operating commercial rigs while lacking lawful status or proper oversight. Oklahoma troopers and ICE operations recently turned up scores of immigration violators driving commercial vehicles, underscoring the national security and public-safety threat at play.
A particularly chilling example came when federal authorities revealed a New York-issued commercial driver’s license listing “No Name Given” for an individual later arrested during a truck inspection — a ridiculous bureaucratic failure that would be unthinkable under basic common-sense standards. Cases like this prove the problem is not hypothetical; these are literal holes being driven through our highway safety and identity-verification systems.
Let’s be blunt: this crisis is the product of willful negligence from Biden-era policies and permissive state practices that put politics ahead of public safety. Sanctuary impulses and bureaucratic softness have turned our roads into testing grounds for policy experiments, while American truckers — who pay taxes, follow the rules, and face onerous training requirements — get squeezed out of their own profession.
Enough talk — it’s time for decisive action. The administration must fully revoke non-domicile CDLs that fail federal standards, require strict immigration-status verification for commercial credentials, and stop rewarding states that flout safety rules by dangling federal highway dollars. Truckers and patriots nationwide deserve nothing less than full enforcement to keep families safe on America’s roads.
We stand with every honest, hardworking trucker laboring through long hours to keep America fed and moving, and we call on fellow citizens to demand accountability. Protecting our borders, enforcing our laws, and restoring common-sense licensing standards isn’t optional — it’s how we defend our communities and preserve the jobs and dignity of American workers.
