Democrats’ Open Border Agenda Puts Florida 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 Florida, this danger is real, not hypothetical. In July, an illegal immigrant driving without a valid license killed an 82-year-old grandmother, who was walking back to her car through a crosswalk outside a Publix in Panama City Beach. 

 

Yet, Florida Democrats like Angie Nixon, David Jolly, Jared Moskowitz, Darren Soto, and Kathy Castor have opposed the law enforcement and laws that would keep these people off the road, creating safety threats for families.

 

President Trump, Ashley Moody, and Byron Donalds 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 speak English and know the rules of the road. President Trump, Ashley Moody, and Byron Donalds are closing the dangerous loopholes, while Florida Democrats are fine with these lunatics on the road.” - RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall
