Democrats' Open Border Agenda Puts California Drivers At Risk

Commentary

The Trump administration is launching a historic interagency effort to crack down on fraud in the commercial trucking industry, fraudulent driving schools, illegally issued commercial driver's licenses, and unqualified drivers who endanger Americans on the road. 


For families in California, this danger is real, not hypothetical. In 2022, an illegal immigrant who had been deported twice already killed two teenagers but was released by California Democrats' soft on crime policies. In 2025 he was arrested in the country again.


Yet, California Democrats have opposed the law enforcement and laws that would keep these people off the road, creating safety threats for families.


President Trump and Republicans are tirelessly fighting to restore accountability, remove dangerous illegal immigrants, and keep unqualified, reckless drivers off the roads. Republicans support enforcing immigration law, securing the border, backing law enforcement, and strengthening driver's license validation.


“Going to soccer practice or taking a family road trip shouldn’t be a life-or-death situation at the hands of illegal immigrants. Every family deserves to know that the cars driven next to them are operated by trained, qualified people who know and understand the rules of the road. President Trump and Republicans are closing the dangerous loopholes, while California Democrats are fine with these lunatics on the road.” – RNC Spokesman Nick Poche
