The Trump administration’s latest move to clean up the trucking industry is making waves—and rightly so. By identifying nearly half of driving schools as failing to meet basic standards, it gets to the heart of the problem. The road to becoming a trucker shouldn’t be a shortcut to mediocrity. That’s the liberal way: lower the bar instead of raising the standards. But here’s where the left goes into a meltdown—the inclusion of immigrant drivers in the crackdown.
Let’s be clear. This crackdown isn’t an attack on legitimate immigrant drivers. It’s about ensuring safety and competence on American highways. But, of course, the left sees any form of accountability as a threat, especially when it involves immigration. They’ll cry racism and xenophobia until they’re blue in the face.
Imagine driving next to a big rig and wondering if the driver passed through some fly-by-night school that didn’t even teach him the rules of the road. No thanks. Americans deserve peace of mind knowing their roads are safe from drivers who might not be up to the job, regardless of where they’re from.
And let’s not ignore the real issue here. The liberal agenda wants immigration without scrutiny. Oceans of immigrants in every field, with no questions asked. They call it diversity. But unchecked immigration—especially in industries that affect daily life—creates chaos. Is it too much to ask for truck drivers to be thoroughly vetted and trained?
This move by Trump is common sense. The left should think about what’s best for Americans first. But when it comes to choosing between our national interest and their globalist fantasies, we know how they’ll play it. What’s more important: political correctness or the safety of American roads?
