Explain this, kemosabe: the American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees—the AFT and AFSCME—are suing the Trump administration to protect the rights of illegal aliens who can't read English, understand our traffic laws, or stop killing innocent Americans on the roads, to get Commercial Drivers Licenses and terrorize us on the roads. Two national public employee unions sue Trump over immigrant drivers license crackdown https://t.co/9uuCiyuYGC These people have too much power, too much money, and way too much time on their hands. Public employee unions shouldn't exist in the first place, but any case to be made that their members need representation goes out the window when the leaders of these unions spend union time and money on an issue entirely unrelated to their core missions. Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses. In California, more than 25% of commercial drivers' licenses were improperly issued, according to a Department of Transportation press release. “The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken. It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right now,” Duffy said. We've all been treated to the stories about aliens who can't read traffic signs, don't follow our laws, and who federal regulations prohibit from obtaining CDLs, wreaking havoc on our roads. They are taking good jobs away from Americans—it is simply not true that Americans refuse to drive trucks!—and the only reason why these people are getting licenses is that states like California ignore federal law.
