DOT threatens to pull $73M from NY after audit finds half of commercial trucking licenses went to illegal drivers
WASHINGTON —
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened Friday to yank $73 million in
federal highway funding meant for New York after an audit found more than half of the Empire State’s commercial
trucking licenses were issued to
foreign-born drivers in the US illegally.
“What New York does is if an applicant comes in and they have a work authorization — for 30 days, 60 days, one year — New York automatically issues them an eight-year commercial driver’s license,” Duffy said during a press conference at DOT headquarters in DC Friday. “That’s contrary to the law.”

Are there no legal immigrants to get licenses and fill these roles?
Shouldnt the organizations giving WORK AUTHORIZATION to ILLEGALS be fined or sanctioned in some way?
How is this a good thing?
