Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona is taking decisive action to protect American lives on our highways, introducing groundbreaking legislation to crack down on illegal aliens obtaining commercial driver's licenses after a string of preventable deaths.
The Arizona lawmaker's new bill comes as Americans have witnessed too many tragic fatalities caused by illegal alien truck drivers who exploited loopholes in blue state licensing systems that turned a blind eye to citizenship and work authorization requirements.
"We cannot continue to allow preventable deaths on our highways while sanctuary states hand out CDLs like candy to people who shouldn't even be in our country," a source familiar with the legislation told reporters. The tragic death toll reached new heights under the disastrous Biden regime, which opened our borders to millions of illegal aliens over four catastrophic years.
Blue States Enable Deadly Crisis
While President Trump works to secure our borders and restore law and order, Biggs' legislation targets a critical gap that liberal states have exploited. Democrat-controlled states have been issuing commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens, putting massive commercial vehicles in the hands of individuals who lack proper documentation, training verification, and legal work authorization.
The consequences have been deadly. American families have paid the ultimate price while progressive politicians prioritize illegal aliens over citizen safety. These aren't just statistics – they're preventable tragedies that rip apart American communities.
"Every American death caused by an illegal alien trucker is blood on the hands of the politicians who enabled this madness," one highway safety advocate noted.
This legislation represents exactly the kind of America First thinking that swept President Trump back into office. While the previous administration rolled out the red carpet for illegal border crossers, Republicans are fighting to protect law-abiding Americans from the consequences of failed liberal policies.
The bill couldn't come at a better time, as the Trump-Vance administration launches its mass deportation program and works to undo four years of Biden's border disasters. It's time our highways are as secure as our borders should be.
How many more American lives will be lost before every state puts citizens first?
