Senator John Cornyn is moving full steam ahead with President Trump's signature immigration enforcement agenda, pushing legislation that would ban illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial driver's licenses nationwide. But the Texas Republican isn't holding his breath for Democrat support – he fully expects the left to side with criminal truckers over American families.
Cornyn's push centers around "Dalilah's Law," named after a young girl who was severely injured in a devastating 2024 California truck crash involving an illegal immigrant driver who had no business being behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound death machine. The tragic incident highlights exactly why President Trump's America First agenda puts citizen safety above woke immigration policies.
"We should not be handing out commercial driver's licenses to people who shouldn't even be in this country," Cornyn stated, echoing the common-sense approach that helped sweep Trump back into the White House. "This is about protecting American families on our roads."
"Democrats have consistently chosen to protect illegal immigrants over law-abiding Americans. I expect nothing different here," Cornyn added.
The legislation fits perfectly within Trump's broader deportation agenda, which has already begun removing dangerous criminals from American streets. While the President focuses on mass deportations, Cornyn's bill would prevent illegals from accessing the commercial trucking industry in the first place.
Of course, Democrats are expected to fight this tooth and nail. Why? Because the radical left has made it crystal clear they'd rather protect illegal immigrants than innocent children like Dalilah. It's the same party that opposes border walls, sanctuary city crackdowns, and basic immigration enforcement.
This is what America voted for in 2024 – a president and Congress willing to put citizens first instead of coddling people who have no legal right to be here. While Democrats prepare their predictable talking points about "compassion" and "discrimination," Republicans are focused on preventing the next Dalilah from becoming a victim.
The question isn't whether this makes perfect sense – it's whether Democrats have any shame left when they inevitably oppose protecting American families from preventable tragedies.
