You know, the crazy thing is, it never happens all at once, does it? The slow creep of bad ideas is a quiet thing. A rule gets bent. A standard is ignored. All in the name of some progressive feel-good nonsense. For years, we’ve all been watching this, knowing that one day, the price for all this foolishness would be paid. And it would be paid in blood.

They called you crazy for worrying, didn’t they? They said you were “intolerant” for wanting secure borders and high standards. But common sense has a way of being proven right. And on a Florida highway, the bill for years of liberal negligence finally came due. Three innocent Americans paid that bill with their lives.

This wasn’t just some random accident. It was a tragedy that, as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, was completely “preventable.” The driver, Harjinder Singh, was in the country illegally. He made an illegal turn. He crushed a minivan. Three Americans were killed. And how did this happen? Simple. The Trump administration rejected his work permit in 2020. The Biden administration turned around and approved it in 2021. Does that sound like a sane policy to you?

California’s Blame Game

So, what happens when the left’s policies get people killed? You guessed it. They blame someone else. Governor Gavin Newsom’s office in California—the state that handed this guy a license to drive a giant rig—immediately tried to point the finger at the Trump administration. It’s a bold move, trying to blame the people who said “no” in the first place.

But they got caught. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wasn’t having it and shut them down with the facts. “False,” she stated plainly, laying out the timeline that proved the Biden team was responsible. It’s the same old story. Their bad ideas lead to disaster, and their first move is always to lie about it.

Putting a Stop to the Madness

Thankfully, there are finally adults back in charge in Washington. The days of ignoring obvious dangers to our citizens are over. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took one look at this mess and decided to clean it up with good, old-fashioned common sense.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.”

This isn’t rocket science. It’s the basic duty of a government to protect its own people on its own roads. Your safety has to come before anything else. Period.

Even the Industry Agrees

Now, you’ll hear the liberals start screaming about a “worker shortage.” It’s their go-to excuse for everything. They’ll say we need to keep the system broken because the economy depends on it. But here’s the funny part: even the trucking industry itself knows this is a problem that had to be fixed.

The American Trucking Association is on board with the pause. They want better screening. They want higher standards. When the very people who supposedly need the workers are begging for more safety and security, the left’s entire argument just collapses into a pile of nonsense.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t just about trucks. This is about a simple idea: America must come first. The safety of your family has to be the top priority. After years of being told otherwise, our government is finally starting to act like it again.

Key Takeaways

• Lax Biden-era policies directly enabled a dangerous driver on our roads.
• The Trump administration is taking decisive action to protect American lives.
• California’s leadership tried to shift blame instead of taking responsibility.
