Victor Davis Hanson: Blue States Are Betting Your Life on Illegal Truck Drivers
Jack Fowler: Twenty-one states and D.C. sue Trump administration to protect illegal alien drivers from the feds. So, 21 states and D.C. are effectively telling the Trump administration that they are more concerned about protecting the identities of illegal aliens than keeping American drivers safe on the roads. That’s the conclusion one can draw from stunning new lawsuits filed to keep the Department of Transportation from obtaining the identities of illegal aliens who have obtained commercial driver’s licenses.
