America's highways are facing a growing crisis—one fueled by reckless immigration policies, weakened commercial driver's licensing standards, and an alarming surge of unqualified migrant drivers piloting deadly big rigs. According to trucking safety advocates, the Biden regime's open-border policies have already unleashed a flood of non-English-speaking, unvetted drivers onto U.S. roads, turning interstates into potential death traps. Meanwhile, DMV employees across several states are being arrested for selling CDLs to illegal immigrants, bypassing critical safety checks. With fatal crashes involving migrant truckers on the rise, experts warn that America's highways are no longer safe—and immediate action must be taken before more lives are lost.

Key points:

Multiple fatal crashes this year have involved non-domiciled CDL holders, including a deadly Austin, Texas, collision that killed five Americans.

Trucking advocates report a sharp increase in unvetted, non-English-speaking migrant drivers operating 80,000-pound rigs due to federal loopholes and DMV corruption.

Florida authorities recently seized $120,000 and arrested eight people in a cash-for-CDL scheme, where hundreds of fraudulent licenses were issued to illegal immigrants with no testing or training.

Illinois' "non-domiciled" CDL program faces scrutiny, with critics warning that similar fraud could happen nationwide unless stricter vetting and English-proficiency requirements are enforced.

The Trump administration has cracked down by enforcing English Language Proficiency (ELP) rules for CDL holders—measures the Biden administration has ignored.

The deadly toll of migrant drivers and lax licensing

Shannon Everett of American Truckers United (ATU) has been sounding the alarm for months, warning that the surge of non-domiciled CDL holders—many of whom barely understand English—has transformed highways into "a national security threat." His concerns are not unfounded. Earlier this year, an Austin crash involving a migrant trucker killed five Americans, exposing a disturbing trend: too many fatal rig wrecks involve non-citizen drivers with questionable training.

"The pattern in these crashes is undeniable," Everett posted on X. "Too many of these tragedies involve non-citizen truck drivers—drivers who are unvetted, unqualified, untrained, and exploiting lax regulations." He urged Americans to stay vigilant on highways, advising drivers to "have an escape plan" if trapped in stalled traffic near big rigs.

The Biden administration doubled down on these reckless policies last year. ATU revealed that the White House "bragged about bringing 876,000 new drivers into the market"—effectively flooding the industry with unqualified drivers. Worse, sanctuary states like Illinois continue issuing "non-domiciled" CDLs, raising fears that more  fraud could emerge nationwide. Already, DMVs from California to New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas have been caught issuing CDLs to illegals.
