>See below for more provisions in the Protecting America’s Roads Act:
>Requires CDL applicants to prove lawful status and domicile
>Mandates DHS SAVE verification for all non-citizen applicants
>Limits non-citizen CDLs to the shorter of Form I-94 expiration or one year
>Requires in-person renewals and transfers
>Directs states to revoke licenses when eligibility lapses, and establishes penalties for states that don’t comply
>Authorizes 287(g) agencies to report unlawful CDL operators

I don’t think this is the way to do it, forcing people to renew their CDL every year just to work in the US. Maybe add secondary testing or a basic fucking English test at the border(s) for all CDL holders who have a 18 wheeler. This is only going to make the price of goods on all sides skyrocket even more.

>“It is time to end the danger posed by illegal immigrant and foreign national truck drivers who are not capable of safely operating an 18-wheel commercial vehicle or, in many cases, understanding English language warning signs and road instructions,” said Rep. Van Duyne.
