🚨 LIVE NOW: RSC Member Roundtable on Illegal Alien CDL Loophole Featuring Dalilah Coleman twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Leftists from both chambers refused to stand for Dalilah Coleman at the State of the Union and now they're lining up against closing the CDL loophole that endangers innocent Americans. That tells you everything you need to know about the modern-day Democratic Party and who they're actually fighting for.

Thank you to @RepDavidRouzer, @RepHouchin, @RepMikeCollins, @RepVinceFong, @RepDaveTaylor, @RepTimBurchett, and @JayObernolte for joining us for this crucial and timely event this morning. Let's get this done together! 🚨

Dalilah Coleman was just five years old when an illegal alien driving an 18-wheeler left her with injuries she will carry for the rest of her life. No family should ever have to carry that kind of pain. House Republicans are fighting to make sure none ever do again, and not a single Democrat could bring themselves to stand with them.

🚨 WOW! Rep. Mike Collins BLASTED the “insanity” of issuing more than 200,000 commercial driver’s licenses to people who cannot speak or read English, INCLUDING illegal immigrants “Those that are here ILLEGALLY and are driving trucks, they shouldn’t be here in the first place.” “They need to be returned and go back HOME.” @RepMikeCollins @RepublicanStudy

Getting a commercial driver's license is not like getting a library card. You take written tests, identify equipment, and prove you can operate a vehicle that weighs 80,000 pounds safely. Every step demands the ability to read, write, and speak English. Yet for over a decade, countless CDLs were handed to illegal aliens who could not meet those standards, and innocent Americans paid the price. That is not a loophole. That is a systemic failure, and it has gone on long enough.

Dalilah Coleman had her life forever changed after an illegal alien driving an 18-wheeler left her with life-altering injuries. It was entirely preventable. When the Obama administration stripped English proficiency requirements from CDL standards in 2016, it opened a door that put EVERY American family at risk. Republicans are fighting to make sure this story is the last of its kind. Dalilah's Law will permanently close the loophole that should NEVER have existed in the first place.

🚨 WATCH: Rep. Mike Collins is urging EVERY American to call Congress and demand immediate passage of Dalilah’s Law, common-sense trucking legislation to keep illegal aliens off the highways. “I can’t think of ANYBODY in the trucking business that wouldn’t be for this.” “Every trucker on the road is going to be for this legislation.” @RepMikeCollins @RepublicanStudy

I was honored to join Dalilah, her parents, and my colleagues at a @RepublicanStudy roundtable this morning highlighting the importance of safety on American roads. Dalilah’s Law will honor her and other victims by requiring English Language proficiency requirements for CDL drivers. Too many innocent American lives have been lost or forever changed at the hands of illegal aliens driving 80,000-pound commercial vehicles who can’t read the road signs. I’m happy to see Dalilah’s Law pass out of @TransportGOP and urge the House to pass it ASAP!

🚨Tune in as the @RepublicanStudy hosts a timely roundtable on keeping Americans safe on highways featuring Dalilah and Marcus Coleman.

The TSA shutdown has to end!

🚨 TSA agents are selling plasma to make ends meet because the Democrats REFUSE to fund @DHSgov. The Left would rather protect illegal aliens who broke the law to enter this country than fund the workers protecting you. That is not a byproduct of the Left's politics. That is their politics. It's outrageous.

🔥 Chairman @RepPfluger is SPOT ON: Markwayne Mullin is a true patriot who loves this country and wants to keep the homeland safe above all else. He will do a tremendous job as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. 🇺🇸

This isn’t politics. It’s real people. Families are hurting because of this shutdown and that’s unacceptable. Do better, Democrats. It’s time to end this—NOW!

@EricLDaugh @Salt_T1 Couldn’t agree more, @EricLDaugh 👀

@Salt_T1 We need another reconciliation bill. It could be the LAST major package for Republicans to campaign on before the midterms. What will the Dems give us 60 votes on?!

🚨 BREAKING: House Republicans are now launching an all-out SURGE of another reconciliation bill — to pass MAGA policies with ONLY 50+1 votes in the Senate, rather than 60 The reconciliation could include anti-FRAUD measures as well GOOD! Load it up with common sense! 🇺🇸 "We can't count on Democrats for ANYTHING. I would love to pass something that's bipartisan...but because Democrats are obstructing the Department of Homeland Security and holding up the funding for DHS, we know that we can't count on them!" "So reconciliation seems to be the only path that we can get the rest of Donald Trump's agenda done, that we can pass things that are good for the economy, good for our military, and good for our security." "We have a good framework. We're going to continue to push. We do think that there are several items, including exposing and getting rid of the fraud that has plagued our country in places like Minnesota, California, and Illinois." "We have a good bill that I think we can press forward and need to spend the coming months getting that done." @RepPfluger

🚨 Chairman @RepPfluger is LIVE NOW with @FLVoiceNews on the Democrat-manufactured DHS shutdown and on the latest with reconciliation 2.0 discussions. TUNE IN NOW ⤵️📺

Texans and travelers across the country are feeling it: 3-hour TSA lines, missed flights, frustrated families. Why? Democrats refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Stop holding Americans hostage. Fund DHS now! theblaze.com/columns/opinio…

While some selfish lawmakers are suing for their OWN backpay after refusing to do their JOBS, @TSA officers are being forced to work without pay. This is exactly what’s wrong with the Left!!

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.
