As AFN has reported, 28-year-old illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, an Indian national, has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike resulting in his trailer jackknifing and colliding with a minivan killing three people. The suspect had obtained a Commercial Drivers License in California, after entering the U.S. illegally in 2018.
Ira Mehlman is media director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
“First of all, illegal aliens, regardless of whether it's a commercial license or just to operate a vehicle, they should not be getting driver's licenses. And yet you have at least half of the states more or less that grant drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens without being able to do any background checks on these people without knowing their true identities."
Mehlman says the federal government should step in and hold Blue States accountable.
"One of the things that this administration could do is withhold highway funding from states that issued drivers licenses to illegal aliens so there is leverage that the federal government has no and it's up to them to decide if they want to use it."
