US Halts ‘Work Visas’ For Foreign Truck Drivers Following A Deadly Crash Caused By An ‘Illegal Alien’
US halts work visas for foreign truck drivers following a deadly crash caused by an ‘Illegal Alien’ named Singh.
The foreign truck driver, alleged to have entered the US illegally, made an illegal U-turn that killed three people on August 12.
Following the incident, the foreign truck driver was arrested for three counts of vehicular homicide.
DHS said Singh obtained a Commercial Driver’s License in California despite having no legal right to be in the US.
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has announced that the US will pause issuing work visas to foreign truck drivers, a move that follows a deadly Florida crash involving a foreign truck driver alleged to have entered the US illegally .
“Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers,” Rubio wrote on X about halting the visas for foreign 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 move comes after a foreign truck driver, Singh Harjinder, was accused of making an illegal U-turn that killed three people on Florida’s Turnpike on August 12. Authorities said that Singh entered the US illegally.
Following the incident, Singh was arrested for three counts of vehicular homicide. According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Singh obtained a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in California, despite having no legal right to be in the United States.
“Governor Newsom put Americans’ lives directly at risk by arming this illegal alien with the ability to operate a 40-ton killing machine on U.S. highways. This reckless policy gave Singh the keys and three innocent people paid with their lives,” DHS said in a statement.
