Labor unions with a history of support and donations to Democratic candidates are suing over the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migrant truck drivers.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and a public interest law firm filed a petition for review that challenges the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) emergency rule on non-domiciled commercial drivers, according to court documents. The lawsuit marks the latest pushback against the Trump administration’s efforts to take illegal migrant truck drivers off the road after a string of serious and fatal accidents.
“For the Trump administration, the cruelty is the point,” AFT President Randi Weingarten said in a public statement. “This is a spiteful and illegal rule issued with no justification except to hurt hundreds of thousands of lawful immigrants with work authorization who only want to build a better life for themselves and their families.”
In September, DOT Secretary Sean Duffy declared that non-citizens who wish to earn non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) must undergo a mandatory federal immigration status check and have an employment-based visa. The new rule could ultimately affect the roughly 200,000 individuals who carry a non-domiciled CDL — many of them commercial truck drivers who did not enter the United States lawfully.
Trump is doing the right thing
What? Trump should let those illegals who cannot read, speak or understand English , much less know how to drive, continue to kill American law abiding families ? Get a damn grip!
Here’s Randi multitasking her demonic energies to destroy by any and all means the citizens of USA. Does everyone know she is the leader of American teachers’ union and benefactor of “No Kings” idiocracy? ““For the Trump administration, the cruelty is the point,” AFT President Randi Weingarten said in a public statement. “This is a spiteful and illegal rule issued with no justification except to hurt hundreds of thousands of lawful immigrants with work authorization who only want to build a better life for themselves and their families.” Evidently being able to understand the English language is NOT a priority for Randi.
Democrats, STOP referring to illegal aliens as Americans!
i bet if a person that is related to a higher up Democrat got killed by one of these drivers something would change
