It's my understanding that the federal government allowed the individuals to receive a work permit which in turn allowed them to obtain a CDL in accordance with California law at the time of initial issuance.

As usual your understanding can't read the article to learn anything

According to Duffy, the exposure came after an audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) found systemic violations in California's licensing process " violations that allowed non-domiciled, and in many cases undocumented, individuals to obtain credentials to operate heavy commercial vehicles, including semitrucks and school buses.

But the biggest difference here is that California admitted to its error and corrected it.

Seems like CA/Newsom actually lied to you, in an attempt to cover up misdeeds, and you bought the lie and spread it like the virus you are.

You mean 17,000 errors.

No DonorBot means "admitting" errors before getting caught with 17,000 more errors.

Why is this guy so obsessed with Dick?

Says the poster that goes on and on about "pieces of ----". I guess you both have your fetishes.

The government has to know that the employee has either a false number or is using a number given to them that can't be used for employment.

Well yes and no, most of what we think of as illegal immigrants, are documented, meaning they are in the system, and being in the system they can ascertain a Work Authorization and SS.

Once they are "employed" the employer is never again allowed to ask about your status. AFAIK, the individual can have an order for removal and the employer will never know.

says businesses need to be trained on how to spot fake driver's licenses and Social Security cards.

From Eberly's article, this pretty funny, it isn't going to happen...

1. If they are illegal, no one should hire them unless the Trump Admin isn't punishing employers for hiring people here illegally.

This is what I call an ignorant reply. Someone that doesn't understand their own immigration process.

You can hire them legally, this is what the Asylum process allows, which is why Biden did what he did; and eventually the person becomes "illegal" because Asylum was denied; In this case the employer is never notified, and the employee is never allowed to be asked again about his status.

2. And whether they are legal or not at this time has nothing to do with whether they are qualified to safely drive a commercial vehicle.

This is an absurd statement as well, being "qualified" is defined as being in the country legally. Also the ability to speak english to a certain level which CA didn't do very well. There are even CDL's where the name is "NO NAME GIVEN"

Finally whats the point of citizenship and going through the legal immigration process, if all it takes is a certain skill level to get a job and participate in everything but voting?

Unless every one of the 17,000 that was issued were checked against every greencard holder we would never know now would we?

This is what is called an audit, in case Synco wasn't able to read the English information at the link.

So...why are you freaking out?

Freaking out? Do you know what brought all this to the attention of the DOT?

Because these illegal truckers have killed innocent immigrants on the highways of America. Its one thing when an illegal drunk immigrant kills themselves and their families, I get it you don't care about them.

Its a whole different ballgame when they are driving tactor truck with trailers, not being able to read english, making uturns in-the middle of the freeway.
