Unions were supposed to protect working Americans. Now they’re a Democrat political machine. What the hell is Randi Weingarten and the American Federation of Teachers doing in a lawsuit over commercial driver’s licenses for illegal aliens? AFT just jumped into court to block the Trump DOT from getting the records of 17 million CDL holders. Weingarten’s own words: they have to protect members “against the vindictive nature of this president and his cronies.” They’re not hiding it. Their complaint says the data would go to DHS for immigration enforcement. So the teachers union is in federal court fighting to keep illegal and unqualified commercial drivers on the road, including people who can’t speak English and people who shouldn’t have been licensed in the first place. This is after deadly crashes. After states issued CDLs that stayed valid long after legal status expired. After Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shut down trucking schools for failing English proficiency. After a 5-year-old girl was left with a traumatic brain injury because an illegal alien with a California CDL slammed an 18-wheeler into her family’s car. School bus drivers. Kids on the bus. Families on the highway. And the AFT’s priority is blocking the federal government from seeing who actually has those licenses. That’s not about teacher pay. That’s not about classrooms. That’s about protecting a core Democrat interest: keeping illegal aliens in jobs they were never supposed to have, even when it puts American kids in the path of an 80,000-pound truck. Unions used to fight for American workers. This one is fighting to keep the border-open experiment rolling down I-80.
