Trump’s cancellation of licenses for immigrant truckers takes effect

It's a whiney WaPo article so I omitted the whiney parts as best I could.....Just the facts.
Some 200,000 immigrant truck drivers will begin to lose their commercial driver’s licenses as they expire under a new Trump administration rule that takes effect Monday.
The rule bars immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses. And it’s part of the Trump administration’s widening campaign against immigrant truck drivers following several high-profile accidents last summer.
Those with valid commercial driver’s licenses will lose their driving privileges as their licenses expire, not immediately.
About 200,000 immigrants in the United States hold about 5 percent of all commercial driver’s licenses, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Under the rule announced on Feb. 11, immigrants with a variety of temporary protections would no longer be able to obtain commercial driver’s licenses regardless of whether they’re authorized to work in the United States. “For far too long, America has allowed dangerous foreign drivers to abuse our truck licensing systems - wreaking havoc on our roadways,” Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said in a statement announcing the rule last month.
The US is no longer allowing Canadian truck drivers that are driving under the equivalent of a Canadian green card to drive in the US either.
If they cannot show a Canadian passport at the border, they get turned around.
Most of the Canadian ones bought their CDL's from schools they never attended.
Guess who is running the schools.....Their brothers and uncles.....I bet it's the same here.
