“The Department of Transportation (DOT) is selling its recently announced restrictions on “non-domiciled” truck drivers as an emergency measure. In reality, they’re an immigration crackdown. By sharply limiting which foreign-born workers can hold commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs), the DOT will push nearly 200,000 legally authorized drivers off the road, gutting an industry already facing severe labor shortages — all under the guise of highway safety.” (11/04/25)
