Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has issued a stunning warning to the American public, revealing the existence of “CDL mills” — private operations that hand out commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who lack the training, qualifications, and even the English proficiency required to safely operate semitrucks on America’s highways.

In his explosive statement, Duffy emphasized that these operations are deliberately enabling unqualified individuals to obtain Commercial Driver’s Licenses in bulk, opening the door to dangerous road conditions and undermining the very workers the trucking industry depends on. “They can’t even speak English,” Duffy said, underscoring the basic legal requirement being ignored by these fraudulent testing centers.

“These are American jobs,” he declared. “They’re not going to American drivers.” Duffy placed direct responsibility on the Biden administration, arguing that its open-border policies have flooded the country with illegal entrants who now compete with hardworking Americans for critical transportation-sector positions.

The implications are enormous: the safety of U.S. highways, the stability of the trucking workforce, and the integrity of licensing systems are all being compromised. With millions of Americans struggling under economic pressure, the idea of foreign nationals — here illegally — obtaining fast-tracked commercial licenses is viewed by many as an unforgivable betrayal.

Calls are growing for a full, nationwide crackdown on any company or private testing center involved in these so-called CDL mills. As Duffy made clear, protecting American workers and restoring trust in the transportation system must now be a top priority. The era of looking the other way is over. It’s time for enforcement, accountability, and putting American drivers first.
