Democrats' Open Border Agenda Puts Wisconsin Drivers At Risk

Commentary

Hi there,


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 Wisconsin, this danger is real, not hypothetical. In July 2025, an illegal immigrant driving in the wrong direction on a highway struck a vehicle, killing an 18-year-old at the scene and gravely injuring a 19-year-old who later succumbed to his injuries.


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


President Trump and Congressman Derrick Van Orden 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 and Congressman Derrick Van Orden are closing the dangerous loopholes, while Wisconsin Democrats are fine with these lunatics on the road.” – RNC Spokesman Hunter Lovell
