WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump Administration said Thursday that foreign truckers won’t be allowed into America due to the ones already here endangering the lives of citizens.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) made the announcement Thursday afternoon.
“Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers,” Rubio proclaimed.
“The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.”
NIT reported last week that a foreign trucker, Harjinder Singh, attempted to make an illegal U-turn through an “Official Use Only” access point in St. Lucie County. By blocking all lanes of the highway with his truck, Singh caused a brutal wreck, instantly killing three innocent people and leaving families shattered. Singh obtained a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in California, despite having no legal right to be in the United States, according to Homeland Security.
