<p>Nearly one in three truck drivers pulled over during a recent operation in Texas were illegal immigrants, many of whom received Commercial Driver&#8217;s Licenses in California, Texas Governor Greg Abbott revealed Wednesday.</p>
<p>Texas troopers, with the help of federal immigration authorities, found that 31 of the 105 truckers they pulled over in the state&#8217;s panhandle on Nov. 11 were in the country illegally. The sweep follows a series of recent fatal crashes that were caused by illegal immigrant truckers carrying Commercial Driver&#8217;s Licenses and as the Trump administration commences a nationwide crackdown.</p>
<p>&#8220;Millions of Texans drive on our highways, roads, and streets every day,&#8221; Abbott said in a statement. &#8220;When illegal immigrants break the law and illegally drive on our roads, they endanger the lives of countless Texans and Americans.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;This joint state and federal operation along one of the nation’s longest transcontinental highways removed illegal drivers and unsafe vehicles from Texas roads. While liberal states like California issue licenses to illegal immigrants and risk the lives of Americans, Texas will work with our federal partners to maintain safe roads and apprehend illegal immigrants to protect our communities,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-has-issued-thousands-of-illegal-trucking-licenses-to-foreigners">Department of Transportation</a> has zeroed in on California as a major source of the issue after discovering the Golden State issued 17,000 non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses to foreign drivers, the agency said earlier this month.</p>
<p>The Trump administration is withholding $40 million from California after a federal investigation found that state authorities weren&#8217;t enforcing the English-language requirement for truck drivers.</p>
<p>Florida authorities have also pressured California to take action after illegal immigrant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-given-commercial-drivers-license-by-californias-newsom-charged-in-fatal-semi-truck-crash">Harjinder Singh</a> allegedly killed three people while making an illegal U-turn in August in the Sunshine State.
