[Press Release Here]
What Secretary Mullin outlined in his remarks is stunning. During one taskforce setup, in the first day they stopped 14 big rig drivers with a CDL that said “No Name Given” for the truck driver’s identification. They didn’t even have names on their commercial driver’s licenses.
At 41:10 of the video, a reporter downplays the issue claiming only 1% of the accidents on the road are caused by drivers who do not speak English. Secretary Mullin responds with a very intense pushback against the reporter.
Go – Go – Go!!!
Loving this!
Would be nice to have the camera face the reporters once in a while so we can see who’s asking these questions.
Also, they should be given a microphone so we can hear them.
Even one inconvenience caused by an illegal in a citizen’s pursuit of happiness is unacceptable and proof of failed gov’t.
As a person that drives a minimum of 30,000 miles a year for work (not much compared to truckers), I applaud anything that can be done to make our roadways safer.
The amount of stupidity I’ve seen on the road since 2020 has skyrocketed, and I’m convinced it’s largely attributed to foreigners that have no concept of traffic laws and rules of the road.
Revoke their licenses, and send em back to wherever the hell they came form.
And something needs to be done about the stupidity of texting while driving.
guilty
The lamestream media should be required to place themselves, their relatives & friends on the roads congested with big rigs daily so that they can be enriched by the less than 1%.
I challenge them to offer themselves & their loved ones up as sacrificial lambs to that “less than 1%.”
Honestly what level of malevolence or absolute stupidity is required to make idiotic statements of that kind?
Part of Making American Roads Safe Again requires the removal of all driving licenses from anyone in America who drives a motor vehicle and is not fluent in English.
