The same Democrat who tried to impeach President Trump is now defending policies that put illegal immigrants behind the wheel of 18-wheelers on America's highways. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) disrupted a critical House hearing examining the dangerous practice of issuing commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens, accusing Republicans of "scapegoating immigrants" for trying to protect American families.
Thanedar's outburst came during testimony focused on states that have recklessly handed out CDLs to individuals with no legal right to be in the country - a policy that puts massive commercial vehicles in the hands of people who bypass federal background checks and safety standards that American citizens must follow.
This is the same radical Democrat who filed articles of impeachment against President Trump, showing once again how the left prioritizes attacking Trump over protecting American lives. Patriots on social media immediately called out Thanedar's hypocrisy and disruptive behavior.
"Dem lawmaker Shri Thanedar disrupts House hearing on illegal immigrant CDLs," posted @DupeireJames on social media, drawing parallels to other controversial Democrat lawmakers. "I think she did exactly what Omar did, but he married his sister."
Republicans are rightfully demanding answers about why states controlled by Democrats continue endangering American families by putting unvetted illegal immigrants in control of vehicles that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. These aren't just cars - these are potential weapons of mass destruction when operated by individuals who have already shown disregard for American law by entering illegally.
While Thanedar screams about "scapegoating," American truckers who followed the rules and obtained their licenses legally are being undercut by cheap illegal labor. Meanwhile, families traveling our highways face increased risks from drivers who never went through proper federal vetting.
President Trump's administration is working to secure our borders and end these reckless policies, but Democrats like Thanedar would rather disrupt congressional hearings than admit their open-border agenda puts Americans in danger. How many more American lives will Democrats sacrifice to protect their illegal immigrant voting base?
