Because California refused to keep its own sanctuary “pathologies” within its borders, the rest of America is tragically paying the price, historian and columnist Victor Davis Hanson noted.<\/p>\n

\"\"Harjinder Singh was issued a trucker\u2019s license by the state of California “despite failing basic questions on his driver\u2019s test.”<\/p>\n

Singh could not read or speak English and could “only identify one or two traffic signs,” Hanson noted. Earlier this month, “the inevitable happened” as Singh pulled an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, “resulting in a crash that killed three innocent people.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has blocked the award of new visas that would enable migrants to legally or illegally drive 18-wheeler trucks on American highways.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffective immediately, we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers,\u201d Rubio announced Thursday evening. \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced tighter enforcement of the safety laws and promised to investigate how California officials allowed the Indian immigrant Singh to drive a truck without being able to understand English or road signs.<\/p>\n

Breitbart’s Neil Munro noted: “Seasonal H-2B visas are also used to legally import truckers for the agriculture industry.<\/p>\n

“However, many foreign truckers use temporary B-1\/B-2 visitor visas to illegally work, and many get E-2 investor visas that allow them to legally work as truckers in the United States.<\/p>\n

“Both are used in large numbers by Indians to get trucking jobs in the United States. Also, many Indians used F-1 student visas to get into the United States, but quickly and illegally take jobs in hotels, stores \u2014 and perhaps at trucking companies.<\/p>\n

“Foreign truckers in Mexico, Canada, and Eastern Europe also use the B-1\/B-2 visa to drive in the United States.<\/p>\n

“Prior to this administration, federal officials had conducted very little oversight into the activities of visa holders.”<\/p>\n

The effects of California\u2019s reckless sanctuary policies are not contained within the state\u2019s borders. In one case, they\u2019ve killed three:<\/p>\n
