Sean Duffy: States Illegally Issued 194,000 Commercial Driver’s Licenses to Foreign Truckers
Breitbart ^ | 18 Nov 2025 | John Binder

States across the country have potentially illegally issued about 194,000 Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to foreign truck drivers who would not meet English language standards set by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Secretary Sean Duffy reveals.

Duffy revealed the alarming statistic in an interview on Fox Business Channel, stating that some 200,000 CDLs have been issued to foreign nationals and that of those, 194,000 are suspected of having been issued illegally.

“People can’t understand the English language, they can’t read signs, and they don’t know the rules of our road. That’s a problem,” Duffy said. “Americans aren’t safe.”

Duffy also pointed to so-called “CDL mills” where foreign nationals are arriving in the U.S. and being pushed through such mills to secure CDLs despite their having hardly any knowledge of American driving rules.

The result is stagnant wages in the trucking industry, Duffy said. …

Sounds like the states aren’t doing their jobs. Same with SNAP and voting registration.
Start with the red ones. They’ll cooperate. Then drop the hammer n the blue ones.

Getting a CDL isn’t cheap.
I wonder if there is a subsidy for illegals to get them or if it is just company paid?

Try this on for size. Some Tax Exempt org like CAIR sponsors a bunch of "drivers" becoming licensed in America to drive rigs. When the future go signal is lit, you have 100k Timothy McVeighs loose.

Who needs to highjack airplanes when you have all those lone wolfs packed with ammonia & fertilizer ready to go?

The states are run by PROVEN criminals now involved
in deaths, treason, and more.

Those involved should LOSE their licenses, homes, jobs,
pensions, and freedoms today.

I don’t know about the fertilizer loads. Probably not, but 100K of 18 wheelers could do major damage to the transportation of everything. Plus they could be doing a lot of Surveillance in the meantime.

Whose rigs are they driving? Do the illegally licensed drivers own them or what?

Plus, PLUS they all voted! What to bet that once in the system their name was not used for voting purposes?

in addition to the obvious security risks (anti=American “immigrants” and illegals from every Krapistan on earth, etcetera) ... that’s a whole lot of American jobs being taken up by foreigners

and truck driving is (at least until it is automated) one of the pretty well-paid jobs a person can still get without extensive preparation, study — we need more easy-entry jobs like this for Americans)

Wow. I’m thinking this is a good possibility.

Well, many states use drivers licenses to register voters. Motor Voter.

Folks, check out this headline from Spectrum and Upstate NY...

U.S. Border Patrol arrest 37 on Western N.Y. stretch of New York State Thruway

You find out what was left out of the headline in the second paragraph, and I'm betting that's no accident.

That 30 of the arrests were of illegals who had valid CDL licenses from California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

But you wouldn't know that from the headline.

Or drugs. I’m betting those CDLs are used to transport a lot of illegal drugs.

20+ years ago, George Ryan, Governor of Illinois went to prison (one of three Illinois governors to go to the Big House) for selling drivers licenses.

Now we have more of those who need to follow suit. Why aren’t ALL laws enforced & the guilty at least jailed. If one of these illegals kills someone, then the offenders who gave them the licenses (all the way up to the governor) should be jailed. That’s why we supposedly have a nation of laws, isn’t it?

I remember when (doc) FRAUD was in & or itself a CRIME, the govt version even MORE egregious. Would it also not make them an accessory to the crime(s)/death(s) via their actions??

Bondi “proving” herself just as we from FL warned. Oh well, horse to water & all that.

Wake me when more than just a scapegoat goes to prison for anything but a visit (don’t give me that “trust the plan” BS either).
