Buckle up, because the radical left in California just got caught red-handed in one of the most reckless, dangerous betrayals of public safety we’ve ever seen. The California DMV quietly issued 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, many of whom never passed the required tests, never proved lawful presence, and never should have been behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound big rig barreling down our interstates.
They began handing out Class A and Class B CDLs, the same licenses needed to haul hazardous materials, fuel tankers, and school buses, to people who couldn’t even prove they belonged in this country.
No background checks.
No immigration status verification.
Just rubber-stamp and roll.
When whistleblowers and watchdog groups finally exposed the scandal, Sacramento’s first reaction was classic leftist arrogance: “Nothing to see here. Everything is fine.” DMV officials smugly claimed it was all “perfectly legal,” that these were just hardworking folks trying to feed their families. They lectured us about compassion while completely ignoring the thousands of tons of steel now being driven by people who may have fake IDs, criminal records, or zero training.
Fast-forward to this month: after intense pressure from federal authorities and a furious public, California finally admitted the truth. The DMV has now revoked every single one of those 17,000 fraudulent CDLs and is scrambling to recall the physical licenses. Translation: they got caught, and only then did they care.
Meanwhile law-abiding American truckers jumped through endless hoops, paid thousands for training, and waited months for their licenses.
