@nbcwashington: Earlier this year, the Trump administration finalized rules to make it harder for immigrants who aren’t U.S. citizens or permanent residents to get a commercial driver’s license, limiting it to those with employment-based visas. That means people who are DACA recipients or TPS holders, among others, are no longer eligible. Some school leaders are anticipating possible school bus driver shortages as a result. Meanwhile, thousands of families in our region are preparing to lose income. #immigration #driverslicense #DACA #busdriver #citizenship

All these people saying thanks to Trump but yet I don’t see those people lining up for these jobs. No one lining up to get their CDL. What a joke!

Those with DACA, who have lived here most of their lives and have been working here with legal work permits for more than ten years are no longer allowed to have CDL’s. This administration only knows cruelty

No shortage of CDL drivers just low wages. I agree with this 100%. Bring wages up and the positions will be filled by US citizens
