**Devastating Revelations on New York CDL Issuance: Over Half to Illegal Aliens**
In a shocking revelation, recent federal audits have uncovered that New York State has issued nearly half of its commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has sounded the alarm, warning that the state may face a loss of $73 million in federal highway funds due to its lax adherence to federal immigration and licensing laws.
The audit conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reviewed 200 non-domiciled CDLs and revealed that 107 of these licenses were granted unlawfully.
Duffy pointed out that New York’s practices violate federal law by automatically issuing eight-year licenses to applicants with temporary work authorizations, without adequate verification of their legal status.
Additionally, concerns have been raised about the state's failure to properly check the status of applicants, often relying on expired documents.
The state is now on notice to conduct a thorough audit and rectify these egregious errors within 30 days, or face substantial financial penalties and the potential decertification of its entire CDL program.
This troubling trend is not isolated to New York; California and Pennsylvania have been similarly cited for issuing thousands of licenses without proper verification of legal status.
With the trucking industry heavily dependent on drivers, it is crucial that states prioritize safety and legality in licensing practices.
Fatal incidents involving illegal drivers have underscored the risks posed by unqualified individuals operating commercial vehicles on American roads.
The implications of this audit extend beyond financial penalties; they raise fundamental questions about state compliance with federal immigration laws and the safety of American citizens.
As Americans grapple with the consequences of widespread illegal immigration, the emphasis must now be on ensuring only qualified, lawfully present individuals are entrusted with driving heavy rigs across our highways.
The need for responsible governance and adherence to rule of law has never been clearer, urging state officials and lawmakers to prioritize the safety and security of their constituents above all else.
