The horrific story came out of Florida in August: a truck driver made an illegal U-turn on a highway, causing a crash with a minivan that killed three people. It got worse: the driver was an illegal alien from India, and he had a limited understanding of road signs.

How did he get a commercial license? And how many of these ticking time bombs are out there?

It turns out, a lot.

Transportation Secretary Duffy Exposes Massive CDL Scam for Illegals

 In Wake of Fatal Florida Crash, DOT Cracks Down on Non-English Speaking CDL Issue

In Oklahoma, law enforcement officials revealed Tuesday that the Highway Patrol, at the behest of GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt, conducted a three-day immigration sweep and nabbed a staggering number of illegals, many of them with extremely dubious licenses.

The operation was staged at a port of entry in Beckham County just east of the Texas border, where semi-trucks traveling eastbound are required to stop.

Troopers, working in partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, screened 520 drivers over the course of a three-day blitz, according to Public Safety Commissioner Tim Tipton.

Most interactions took place during routine passes through the weigh station, but some were the result of traffic infractions, Tipton said.

Here’s the stunning part: Tipton said nearly one in four people stopped were in the country unlawfully: “A quarter of the people that we came into contact with didn't have legal status to be here,” he said.

New York’s DMV confirmed the licenses were authentic and issued under existing procedures.

Details in Deadly Florida Semi Accident Get More Horrific As Several States May Be Responsible

How the heck are they getting CDLs when I nearly had to give up my first-born child just to get a REAL ID?

It’s terrifying to know that the big rig next to you on the highway might be being driven by someone called “NO NAME” who can’t read the signs. It’s literally an accident—or multiple accidents—waiting to happen.

Department of Public Safety Commissioner Tim Tipton said the findings were alarming, highlighting a serious safety risk. Many of the licenses were either expired by nearly a decade or listed under a single name, making identification impossible.

"You don’t have a minor collision with a commercial vehicle," Tipton said. "An 80,000-pound truck at 70 miles an hour isn’t going to be a minor crash."

Unfortunately for the poor victims in Florida, the predictable result of this insanity came true.
