Remember back in August, when Indian native Harjinder Singh steered his truck to make an illegal U-turn using an ‘Official Use Only’ area on the Florida Turnpike? A minivan collided with the trailer, and the driver and two passengers died. Singh was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide. It turned out that Singh was an illegal alien who had obtained a commercial driver’s license in California.
We're not sure which local news station did this sob story with truck driver Vivak Sharma, who went to get his commercial driver's license renewed (we're assuming in California), but was denied thanks to new rules that limit CDLs to American citizens and U.S. residents.
Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) ~ Non U.S. citizens are suddenly not able to renew their CDLs after the Trump administration closed loopholes that Gavin Newsom’s California was exploiting.
The DOT is singling out California for what it calls "gross negligence." It says more than 25% of CDLs given to noncitizens or non-permanent residents were improperly issued.

* Guy has been in the country ten years and can’t speak a word of English.
* Is sending his money out of the country back to India.
This is their sob story?
Mary Magdalen (@Gr8LakesCzarina) ~ Can I just point out that English is 1 of the 2 nationally recognized languages of India & that “Sharma” is a Hindu Brahmin surname? How can he not speak English & what possible asylum claim can he be making?
Can he read English? That's kind of important when you're doing long hauls on the interstate.
GOUD Maragani (@goud4utah) ~ What is he seeking asylum for? India is a democracy. The asylum claims out of there are mostly fraudulent. You can tell it’s a fraud since his family still lives there and they clearly are not having any issues. Also, how has he been here for 10 years and can’t speak English?
He's been here for 10 years and has a court date next year to argue his claim for asylum from ... India? What's he being persecuted for there? Why hasn't his family fled?
Cat Nihon (@CatNihon) ~ I am sick and tired of these fake asylum seekers. He needs to go back.
USDOT Rapid Response (@USDOTRapid) ~ This driver has been in the U.S. for TEN YEARS and does not know enough English to qualify for a trucking license.
This is exactly why @SecDuffy ordered @FMCSA to crack down on English proficiency standards.
Do you want to drive on American roads? Being able to understand English is the BARE MINIMUM.
Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) ~ Crocodile tears for a man who has spent a decade in our country but couldn’t be bothered to learn our language. Our new rules will keep you and your family SAFE on America’s roads!
