Newsom’s office said that every one of the drivers whose license is being revoked had valid work authorizations from the federal government. At first, his office declined to disclose the exact reason for revoking the licenses, saying only they violated state law. Later, his office revealed the state law it was referring to was one that requires the licenses expire on or before a person’s legal status to be in the United State ends, as reported to the DMV.

Still, Newsom’s spokesperson Brandon Richards shot back at Duffy in a statement.

“Once again, the Sean ‘Road Rules’ Duffy fails to share the truth — spreading easily disproven falsehoods in a sad and desperate attempt to please his dear leader,” Richards said.

Fatal truck crashes in Texas and Alabama earlier this year also highlight questions about these licenses. A fiery California crash that killed three people last month involved a truck driver in the country illegally, only adding to the concerns.

Duffy previously imposed new restrictions on which immigrants can qualify for commercial driver’s licenses. He said earlier this fall that California and five other states had improperly issued commercial driver’s licenses to noncitizens, but California is the only state Duffy has taken action against because it was the first one where an audit was completed. The reviews in the other states have been delayed by the government shutdown, but the Transportation Department is urging all of them to tighten their standards.

Duffy revoked $40 million in federal funding because he said California isn’t enforcing English language requirements for truckers, and he reiterated Wednesday that he will take another $160 million from the state over these improperly issued licenses if they don’t invalidate every illegal license and address all the concerns. But revoking these licenses is part of the state’s effort to comply.

It makes sense to do that if Newsom is running for president. Now republicans can't attack him over it.

>>1457613
Same strategy with Biden, really. Let in hundreds of thousands of illegals, and then right before the election reduce the number significantly and act like you just fixed a big problem

>>1457618
>Let in hundreds of thousands of illegals
Where does this myth come from? Even during his first year Biden deported more than Trump has.

>>1457613
Newsom is spending millions of tax payer dollars to have rocks flown in from Italy to decorate the capital building

>>1457620
it's just any lie that latches onto the republican reptilian brain. bonus points if it covers for something republicans are actually doing themselves

>>1457620
There's over 40 million illegals in the country. That's not counting all the legal immigrants

>>1457620
>Where does this myth come from?
>As of the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (ending September 30, 2024), there have been more than 10.8 million total encounters nationwide by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) since the start of the Biden administration in January 2021. This number includes encounters at the Southwest border, Northern border, coastal sectors, and airports.

>>1457620
It comes from the reported facts anon.

So this is nothing, and shills are trying to gaslight everyone that it is

Newsom is a Republican who has the good common sense to run as a Democrat. It always works in CA and will work like a charm nationwide in '28. Unlike Fetterman, he isn't brain-damaged, just smart and opportunistic. And he's fairly young and not smeared with the Trump stench.

President Newsom will, at the very worst, be a neolib like Clinton or Obama, and will have eight solid years to repair the damage the GOP has done. That is literally the only reason people elect Democrats.

>>1457657
Clinton and Obama did a ton of damage so that would be horrible.

>>1457655

You have to be absolutely and totally detached from reality to think that Newsom is viable nationally. The only gov's dems have who are nationally viable are Whitmeyer and Shapiro.

No it doesn't.

Found the seething republican pedo defenders

Indian Americans, who are categorized under the "Asian" racial group in U.S. traffic safety data, have the
lowest rate of traffic fatalities per capita compared to all other racial and ethnic groups in the United States.
Key Statistics

Lowest Fatality Rate: In 2020, the traffic fatality rate for Asian people was 2.07 per 100,000 population, the lowest among all groups. In contrast, the overall U.S. rate was 11.77 per 100,000 population.
Comparison to White Population: The per capita fatality rate for the Asian population is approximately 0.40 times the rate of the White population.
Specific Risk Factors: Asian Americans also show the lowest rates for specific high-risk behaviors, such as alcohol-impaired driving fatalities and unrestrained occupant fatalities. The alcohol-impaired fatality rate for Asians is half that of the White population.
Pedestrian Fatalities: The rate of pedestrian fatalities for Asian individuals is also significantly lower than for other groups, approximately half the rate of White pedestrians.

Contributing Factors
Research suggests that recent immigrants, many of whom come from India, often exhibit lower crash risks due to factors such as cultural differences and a potentially greater adherence to traffic laws during their initial years in the U.S.. The data consistently shows the Asian population as a whole having better road safety outcomes across various metrics.

he deported more than Trump because there were more coming into the country when Biden was president. there are far, far less now.

>>1457681

we have to make this happen

He also let in a lot more than Trump has.

>>1457620
>the guy who floods his apartment and tosses water out with a bucket is better than the guy who shuts the water off and lets it drain away
Classic leftist logic.

>>1457620
>>1457749
That's actually purposefully muddying the waters to misrepresent fact.

Biden did deport more people overall *but* the large majority of them were not already in the country, they were people who had just freshly crossed biden's open border, because these are counted under deportation numbers as well.

Trump has historic low illegal immigration rates, all of his deportations are from people who are already here, and his rate of deporting those people I believe is several times higher than what bidens was

Put simply, great majority of biden's deportations were individuals that weren't really in the country they were rather just blocked from entering. Trump's majority of deportations are from people actually in the country being deported

>>1457753
You don't find it odd Trump ramped the shit out of ICE based on Biden's numbers yet they've literally never reached their quota based on those same numbers?

Maybe the numbers were bullshit all along.

>>1457754
>it was an open border, he just deported everyone after they entered!
retarded acrobatic self gaslighting

>>1457754
...hey uh, anon. You do realize if the vast majority of Biden's deportations were at the border, then that means it wasn't actually a fucking open border?

>>1457755
No, I highly doubt the numbers are bullshit.

Biden's illegal immigration rate greatly reduced the year leading up to the election because he wanted to be electable, they were awful the 3 years before that.

Nearly all of biden's deportation numbers were from people who had just crossed Bidens open border.

If Trump wanted to let in millions of people and then immediately deport them as soon as they cross he could do that too and fluff up his numbers but that's not really the point of what he's doing, his goal is to remove the people who are already here and stop new ones from entering

>>1457757
>>1457756
To be fair he let in more people than he deported.
Biden's open border allowed a historically high number of people to illegally cross it

There's no mental gymnastics here, just facts and you don't like those

>>1457755
>the guy who floods his apartment and tosses water out with a bucket is better than the guy who shuts the water off and lets it drain away
>people question why the other guy isn't tossing out as much water after most of it's been drained and he has to scrape what's left off the ground
>"You were lying! There's no flood in the apartment!"
Holy fucking shit.

>>1457762
Yeah I think this guy's just being a retard again.
He knows he's in the wrong on this oneHe knows he's in the wrong on this one

>>1457759
If they were arrested at the border that means they didn't successfully cross it you fuckin retard.

>>1457756
>retarded acrobatic self gaslighting
>from the guy who thinks the guy who just let in several million illegals is doing a better job than the guy who ... didn't.
Jesus. They just get dumber and dumber.

>>1457758
>>1457762
>>1457763
>Vast majority of illegal immigration numbers come from states like Texas
>Texas does operation lone star, granting billions of dollars to both their own national guard but also various companies that have links to their governor (https://www.citizen.org/news/public-citizen-report-abbott-donors-draw-nearly-1-billion-in-no-bid-state-contracts/)
>Only way to justify OLS and it's increasingly massive cost to the state is to say there is an immigration crisis
In my eyes it looks like Texas, among other states, has been inflating their illegal migrant numbers to justify Abbott being able to use Operation Lone Star to give kickbacks to his donors. It's kinda the perfect crime; after all, the whole thing with illegals is that you can only really estimate how many of them are in the US. Who can double check if the numbers are fudged?

>>1457767
You forget the best part, the corrupt Texan border agents taking kickbacks from companies to let in illegal laborers, and taking bribes from immigrants to be let into the country

>>1457765
>If they were arrested at the border that means they didn't successfully cross it you fuckin retard
That's kind of my point, I'm glad you agree with me. those are bidens "deportation numbers" you are trying to tout and they are literally meaningless fluff. Now that we agree on the contextual facts, the ones that still made it over the border and into the country were also record high after removing the ones that didnt make it.

Bidens border was much like a sieve in many respects

>>1457769
Yes, the imaginary Biden border that lives in your mind is as full of holes as your fentanyl riddled brain

>>1457767
Ah yes it's a conspiracy. There are no 11 million illegals. These are not the droids you're looking for. Mhm.... Speaking of Texas, remember that time Biden almost started another civil war when he sent federal troops down to the Texas border to tear up the barriers they made to keep illegals out?

>>1457770
Why do resort to name calling when presented with facts?

>>1457771
>Speaking of Texas, remember that time Biden almost started another civil war when he sent federal troops down to the Texas border to tear up the barriers they made to keep illegals out?
You mean the razor wire that drowned a pregnant woman and were judged to be inhumane? The razor wire the fucking 6-3 Conservative Supreme Court said Biden was constitutionally entitled to be able to remove? That razor wire?

>>1457771
>Ah yes it's a conspiracy. There are no 11 million illegals
It would certainly fit with the fact Trump has never been able to reach deportation quotas based on that number. You're telling me he gives these guys a budget on par with the fucking navy and they still can't even meet the bare minimum of removing them? Almost like there isn't actually that many illegals to remove.

>>1457772
Why do (you) not know english

>>1457776
Yeah you've definitely lost this discussion. Btfo yet again it seems.

Its a pretty unemotional take bud. I even told you two dem candidates who could probably win.

Reality is, like always, the Dem nominee is going to be someone no one is talking about right now.

>>1457775
>they have a budget that they got three months ago so all the infrastructure and personnel just materialized out of thin air.

>>1457783
It's monthly quotas anon. Monthly quotas that even with Trump giving them blank checks they still cannot fucking meet. Hell, they've literally been pumping up their numbers with bullshit arrests and EVEN THAT hasn't gotten them close.

>>1457785
>they have the manpower or infrastructure

>>1457775
>You're telling me he gives these guys a budget on par with the fucking navy and they still can't even meet the bare minimum of removing them?
It doesn't matter how much money you give an agency when they keep getting stalled from doing their job by bleeding heart lefty judges and retards blocking roads in the streets, occasionally ramming ICE vehicles or shooting ICE personnel - especially when they have to hold themselves back and can't just mow Antfaggots down like they deserve. Not to mention interference from local police like that Chief in Chicago who ordered his people to not respond when ICE was being attacked. It's very similar to Iraq: just because you throw $3 trillion at the problem doesn't mean you'll get cooperation from a hostile populace.

>>1457811
LOL they can't get anything but the most uneducated, subhuman, cousin-fuckers from flyover states to do the job. Most unathletic fat fucks I've ever seen waddling around and tearing their ACLs while trying to catch abuela. They're pathetic pieces of shit and so are you.

Reminder that time we found out FEMA was out of budget because of immigrant-loving leadership spending money on migrant housing centers? When FEMA was literally telling workers to avoid houses with Trump signs in their yards?

Democrats have exhibited a clear pattern of aiding enemies and betraying neighbors.

You mean that thing the right kept claiming happened but didn't, because the budget for immigration assistance and natural disaster assistance were separate?

>>1457828

They live in an alternate universe of grievances, where the Bowling Green Massacre happened.

>>1457828
>You mean that thing the right kept claiming happened but didn't
Right, I forgot. Everything negative democrats do is a conspiracy theory until they decide to pin it on someone else.

Let's go back to talking about how all of these CDL's that magically found their way into the hands of illegals who can't speak english. A jeet kills a family of three doing a U-turn on a highway? That's racism, better not talk about that.

>>1457830

none of your posts are good and you talk to yourself way too much these days, shill

>>1457837
NTA, also everyone hates you.

>>1457837
look, all they have is CA just giving out CDLs for a set period and not caring if they go past the end date for an immigrants work validation. Its literally not a problem but its all they have to whine about because they have no other voice in California because CA ended DEI policies that propped republicunts up.
They'll never forgive CA for ending their special minority privileges.
