If the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrant truckers had a face, it would be Harjinder Singh. The Indian-born Singh was behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler in Fort Pierce, Fla. in August when he allegedly made an illegal U-turn, causing a crash that killed three people.
A.J. Jenkins, a truck operations specialist, observes an autonomous truck operating in no vehicle operator (NVO) mode during a route in Ellis County, Texas. He is in the driver's seat but his hands are in his lap while the truck is driving on a road. The steering wheel has a sign labeled "NVO Mode."
The Department of Homeland Security says Singh was in the U.S. illegally, though California Gov. Gavin Newsom contends he had a valid work permit when he applied for a commercial driver's license. Singh has pleaded not guilty to three counts of vehicular homicide.
What's clear is that Singh's case has been a big story on conservative TV news, and prompted swift reaction from the Trump administration.
Within weeks, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced new regulations that would make it much harder for immigrants — even those in the country legally — to get commercial driver's licenses.
"The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken," Duffy said at a press conference in September. "It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right now."
There are too many foreign-born truckers who don't know the rules of the road, Duffy said, and don't speak English proficiently.
"We have people on the roads that aren't safe, that aren't qualified, that should never have a driver's license. And lives are lost," Duffy said at another press conference in October.

If NPR is against it, I’m for it.
“Some See”. Again.
And some people see Elvis at the grocery store.
What’s clear is that Singh’s case has been a big story on conservative TV news, and prompted swift reaction from the Trump administration.
Allegedly? It’s on video.
With any luck, this brainless writer will be a victim of one of these can’t read English, illegal CDL holders in an accident
“allegedly”? It’s on the dash cam!
Well, whatever it takes!
Win - Win.
No?
Who’s posting NPR lately. I’ve never seen that here
They’re no even just leftist they’re Sesame Street ridiculous
Harjinder “Some” Singh sees racism!
Watch how fast the globalists at NPR change their tune.
F NPR
Multitasking!
Two birds one stone!
Well, I’m glad “some see” an immigration raid because that’s what should have already happened...
Better late than never...
NPR: No Prick Retards...glad their funding was cut...
Another reinforcement of the elimination of government funding of the national propaganda regurgitation.
It is both.
Potato patahto, get rid of them
” would make it much harder for immigrants — even those in the country legally — to get commercial driver’s licenses.”
It should be very difficult for anyone to get a CDL. It was for me. I had to train for months, take all sorts of tests, and get a medical to get mine (multi axle, tanker, passenger)
