The Trump administration has suspended the issuance of H-2B worker visas for foreign commercial truck drivers, citing public safety concerns. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the immediate halt, warning that foreign drivers operating large trucks endanger American lives and undercut domestic truckers. The move follows a fatal Florida crash involving Harjinder Singh, an undocumented driver now charged with vehicular homicide. An investigation is underway into regulatory lapses. Additionally, over 55 million visa holders are being vetted for deportable offenses. The administration also reinstated strict English proficiency enforcement, disqualifying over 3,000 drivers. These actions reflect a broader crackdown on immigration and transportation safety. (PC: Wikipedia)
