He said the thing most people aren't willing to say, which is illegal immigrants should go home. They don't have a place in the country. And the left went nuts. They are still going nuts over the fact that the president of the United States has single-handedly shut the southern border. And this means that apparently he's bad and racist and all the rest. The thing is, most Americans don't actually believe that. Most Americans look at things like illegal immigrant crime and they say, President Trump is right. Case in point, according to the Department of Homeland Security today, Governor Gavin Newsom, the Democratic Governor of California, and his continued support for sanctuary policies are to blame for an illegal immigrant trucker who was given a driver's license in California, killing three Americans after making an illegal U-turn this month. He was in Florida. He'd come in illegally in 2018 And then the state of California decided to give this person, this person's name is Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, a driver's license, and he was driving a semi in St. Lucie County, Florida, and he made an illegal U-turn that left three Americans dead. Here is some video of the crash footage.
You can see him here turning. It's a gigantic U-turn.
All the way across the road, braking barrier, and you can see a car slams into the side of his truck. Three people die. OK, so the governor of California is blamed. He immediately comes back and says it's the Trump administration. The problem, of course, is that he only had a commercial driver's license despite being an illegal alien thanks to a law passed in 2013 and then expanded by Gavin Newsom in 2022 According to Breitbart, California officials had issued driver's licenses to more than illegal aliens since 2015 DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin blamed Gavin Newsom for supporting the state's sanctuary policies that ultimately led to Singh getting that driver's license and allegedly killing three Americans in Florida. Governor Newsom then claimed that actually the Trump administration was responsible for Singh securing that commercial driver's license in California. McLaughlin of the DHS wrote back, Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump administration on September 14th, 2020 It was later approved under the Biden administration June 9th, 2021 The state of California issues commercial driver's license. There is no national commercial driver's license. It turns out that the illegal immigrant trucker responsible allegedly for all this failed an English language proficiency test and also failed to accurately identify highway traffic signs, according to the Department of Transportation. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration launched an investigation into that deadly crash and during an interview with the driver, investigators administered an ELP assessment that's English language proficiency. Singh apparently failed that assessment and only provided correct responses to two of twelve verbal questions and accurately identified one of four highway traffic signs. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, quote, If states had followed the rules, his driver would never have been behind the wheel and three precious lives would still be with us. This crash was a preventable tragedy directly caused by reckless decisions and compounded by despicable failures. Non enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40 ton vehicles. And again, this is a gigantic failure of governments like the state of California, which have acted as a magnet to illegal immigrants. There are an enormous number of illegal immigrants living in the state of California. So I asked our sponsors over a comment, how many illegal immigrants are in the United States? How many in California? How many illegal immigrants have California driver's licenses? According to comment, the estimated number of illegal immigrants in the United States as of May 2025 is approximately 14.8 million, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Some organizations cite even higher numbers with estimates up to 18.6 million, but the 14.8 to 15.8 million range is the most frequently referenced in government and research reports. They're not current precise figures for California. But as of 2023, California was home to more than 10.6 million immigrants in total. That's documented and undocumented, accounting for about 22 percent of all immigrants in the United States. Previous authoritative estimates have placed California's undocumented immigrant population in the range of 2 million.
