The Trump administration delivered another massive victory for American safety on Wednesday, finalizing a crucial reform that blocks unvetted foreign nationals from obtaining commercial driver's licenses in the United States. The move ends a reckless system that allowed tens of thousands of drivers with unknown or dangerous backgrounds to legally operate massive trucks and buses on our roads.
Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy didn't mince words about the previous administration's failures, declaring the new rule "ends a safety loophole that has wreaked havoc on our roadways."
Think about that for a moment, Patriots. For years, foreign nationals with zero background checks, criminal histories we couldn't access, or driving records from countries with completely different safety standards were handed the keys to 80,000-pound death machines and told to share the highway with your family.
America First Safety Policy
This is exactly the kind of common-sense reform that the Trump administration promised - putting American lives before globalist virtue signaling. While the Biden regime spent four years opening our borders to anyone and everyone, they also opened our highways to potentially dangerous foreign drivers whose backgrounds were complete mysteries.
The trucking industry moves the lifeblood of our economy, transporting everything from food to fuel across our nation's highways. Ensuring that only properly vetted, qualified drivers operate these massive vehicles isn't just good policy - it's basic responsibility to the American people who elected Trump to keep them safe.
Secretary Duffy's swift action shows this administration means business when it comes to protecting Americans. No more bureaucratic delays, no more putting foreign interests ahead of American safety, no more excuses.
"This administration will always prioritize the safety and security of American families over political correctness," the rule effectively states through its decisive action.
How many accidents could have been prevented if this loophole had been closed years ago? How many American families paid the price for previous administrations' refusal to enforce basic safety standards? These are the questions the mainstream media won't ask - but Patriots deserve answers.
Once again, President Trump proves that real leadership means making the tough decisions that career politicians avoided for decades. American roads are now safer, and that's a promise kept.
