Three people are dead because we do not deport illegal aliens

It is just one case.  Three innocent people were killed in a highway accident caused by an illegal alien who should not have been in America … and should not have had the trucker license that enabled a totally unqualified and incompetent person to commit an utterly irresponsible, reckless and illegal action that resulted in vehicular homicide.

If you have not seen reports of the incident in the news, here are the details. 

On a stretch of the Florida Turnpike near Orlando, three innocent lives were lost in a horrific crash caused by a trucker making an illegal U-turn. The driver, according to reports, was not only unqualified to operate a commercial vehicle but also in the country illegally—one of the millions who have entered and remained under increasingly lax immigration policies of the Democratic Party in general and President Biden specifically.  This tragedy is more than a traffic accident. It’s a sobering reminder of the real-world consequences of policy decisions made far from the scene of the crash.  This wasn’t just a bureaucratic oversight. It was a systemic failure. And it cost three people their lives.  You can see the video of the accident here.

A Preventable Disaster

The facts are chilling. The trucker had reportedly obtained a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in California despite not meeting basic qualifications, including English proficiency—a federal requirement for CDL holders. His inability to understand road signs or communicate effectively in emergency situations raises serious questions about how he was certified to operate a multi-ton 18-wheeler on American roads.

California, where the trucker reportedly obtained his license, has long been at the center of debates over licensing undocumented immigrants. While the intention behind such policies is often humanitarian—allowing people to drive legally and safely—the execution can be flawed. If language requirements, safety standards, and background checks are ignored or waived, the result isn’t compassion. It’s chaos.

Commercial driving is a high-responsibility profession. Drivers must be able to read signs, respond to emergencies, and navigate complex traffic situations. When those standards are compromised, every other driver on the road is put at risk.

Connecting the Dots: Policy and Accountability

This case echoes a similarly devastating incident from the early 2000s, when a non-English-speaking truck driver—also improperly licensed—caused a fatal crash in Wisconsin that killed six children. That tragedy led to the conviction of Illinois Governor George Ryan, whose administration had allowed unqualified individuals to obtain licenses in exchange for bribes. The public demanded accountability then, and it should demand it now.

The Florida crash raises urgent questions: Who approved this driver’s license? Were proper background checks conducted? Did anyone flag his lack of qualifications? These are not rhetorical questions—they are the foundation of a necessary investigation. If negligence or corruption played a role – as it most certainly did — those responsible must be held accountable.

The Role of Immigration Policy

At the heart of this tragedy lies a broader debate about immigration enforcement. Critics of the current administration argue that President Biden’s border policies have created an environment where millions of undocumented individuals enter and remain in the country with little vetting. While many come seeking safety and opportunity, the lack of rigorous screening and enforcement can allow individuals who pose risks—whether through criminal intent or sheer unpreparedness—to slip through the cracks.

This isn’t about vilifying immigrants. It’s about demanding that the systems in place protect both newcomers and the citizens who share the roads, schools, and communities with them. When enforcement is weak and vetting is inconsistent, tragedies like this become more likely—not because of who someone is, but because of what the system fails to do.

Each year hundreds of thousands of Americans fall victim to millions of crimes and reckless disregard for safety standards involving illegal immigrants.  They are the victims of murders, rapes, assaults, home invasions, holdups, carjacking, shoplifting and looting, identity theft, gang violence, prostitution and sex trafficking.  Others fall victim of the drug trade and gang recruitment.

The goal isn’t exclusion—it’s safety. America has always been a nation of immigrants, but it must also be a nation of laws and standards. When those standards are ignored, lives are lost.

What Kind of Country Do We Want to Be?

Every policy has a human cost. In this case, the cost was three lives on a Florida highway. If we accept the left’s position that the millions who came to America illegally and without vetting should simply be allowed to stay – or even worse, to justify their actions by granting them the rights of citizens and even citizenship, itself – then we will have shown contempt for all those victims of illegal aliens – and their loved ones.  The American people deserve better. Illegal immigrants deserve better. And the victims deserve better.

So, there ‘tis.
