Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (R, Wisconsin!)

Look for big political things from this man in the future. He did a bang-up job in Wisconsin and is doing great work for President Trump and the rest of America!

His wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy is being considered for President Trump’s new Press Secretary. We shall see!

The article makes it sound like these private schools issue the licenses. Doesn’t each state’s DMV issue them?

“I am so grateful for President Trump raising the alarm on this issue, and to Vice President Vance for leading the charge to crack down on fraud nationwide. From states failing to follow the law to shady training schools and illicit companies, together we will tackle every link in the chain.”

I VOTED FOR THIS! MAGA!

Worked and froze my butt off to get a Class A CDL in NJ. Not to mention the $2200 paid out of pocket. If only I was a wet back, or an islamo I could have gotten it for nothing without even showing up. That said, Smith & Solomon was a good school when I was there in 2013.

Duffy was on Fox Business this morning. He said 110 “driving schools” do not have class rooms nor trucks to learn driving.

In other words, send them a check and you get your certificate of truck driver’s education to show your local DMV.

Do the driving schools actually issue licenses?

I would have thought that was a state function.

I pull a trailer a few times a month with a Ford F-150. It’s for work and over 10,000 lbs. total so I have to jump through all the hoops. Electronic logs, weigh stations, DOT inspections, med cards. Since I’m not a professional trucker and doing it full time, I’m certain that I’m not doing everything completely by the book. I don’t need a CDL but I need to follow all the same rules.

I can be pulled over and inspected for any reason or just because it’s black truck inspection day.

Yet these illegal scum are out on our roadways every day driving rolling roadblocks with no skills and no ability to follow our laws because they are too stupid to learn our language.

It frankly pisses me off that as an American I need to jump through hoops the illegals ignore.

I have no problem with citizenship and literacy exams at every single truck stop.

I can think of dozens of industries that hand out licenses to people that are not qualified to have them. They should all be shut down.

The administrators of these driving schools with revoked licenses should be arrested, charged, tried, convicted and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

You’d think there would be a traceable audit trail for each and every CDL issued to drivers who failed English proficiency tests. Start there and prosecute each and everyone that was involved with the fraud.

I’ll bet there’s a lot more than just 270, and they all need to be charged with crimes.

This story is the perfect ending to an already good day God granted to me.

Thank you, Pres. Trump and Sec. Sean Duffy.
