Under Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, California leads the nation in issuing CDLs (Commercial Driver’s Licenses) to illegal or non-permanent resident immigrants, and Americans are dying on our roads as a result.
Just this week, Clark James Fojas, 20, and a 16-year-old from Stockton, were killed near Lodi when Manvir Singh failed to stop his fully loaded Freightliner, resulting in a deadly chain reaction crash.
Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, according to federal authorities, and received a California CDL in March 2025 despite stricter federal rules for commercial licenses. The illegal immigrant took off running from the scene of the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol, but was taken into custody nearby and booked into jail. He now faces felony charges, including vehicular manslaughter, for the fatal accident that injured 5 others.
Hi @GavinNewsom, can you look the families who just lost two loved ones in the eye and explain why you gave an illegal a license?? pic.twitter.com/7WOLxF7h81

Prosecutors said there were no skid marks on the roadway, suggesting that Singh never tried to brake his big rig. The incident marks the fourth fatal crash this year involving Indian nationals without legal status holding U.S. CDLs.
At least four Indian illegal alien truck drivers with CDLs have been arrested for allegedly causing deadly crashes that have killed multiple innocent people in different parts of the country.

Recently retired Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino responded to the post above, writing in part, “The American mind has been expertly hypnotized. We imported millions from countries where ‘driving’ means chaotic survival rules, no lanes, no signals, horns as brakes. Then we acted shocked when they bring those habits here—CDL in hand, fresh off the illegal entry. Now four Indian illegals with commercial licenses just racked up multiple deadly wrecks killing Americans. And the pattern repeats.”

The outcome of Newscum’s brilliant plan to give CDL to people who can’t read road signs, can’t write a damn thing, and can’t even speak English

Because the left thinks it’s the “ kind” thing to do. Or alternatively, they know that ultimately these dolts will cause mayhem on the roads and they live for creating chaos. Means you need a strong, powerful government which strips away your rights. Either way a win/win for them

The companies that employed them should be sued to oblivion, and held criminally responsible.

I’ve said it for over a year. We should have thousands or rock block checkpoints.
Stop and check identification!
Start in Red states like Flordia and Texas. They have so many illegals and would be easy picking.
