Marco Rubio’s Visa Freeze: Truckers or Traffic Jam? Auto-Immigrant Snafu!
In a twist worthy of a reality show road trip, Secretary of State Marco Rubio paused new visas for commercial truck drivers amid reports that 'foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives,' sparking debate as immigrants make up 18% of drivers. Despite a shortage hitting trucking like a freight recession, the move doubles down on Trump-era English proficiency rules. Rubio’s order leaves trucker visas in a limbo pause, intensifying the truck driver drought causing inflation and supply chain drama across America before Sept. 30 fiscal year deadline.

When you cut immigrant trucker visas during a driver shortage, you're basically telling the economy: buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride in the slow lane, no English test required to lose your wallet here.
Trucking shortage? Nah, Rubio just declared an unofficial new Olympic sport: Visa Freeze Curling. Watch them sweep foreign drivers off the roads with one executive order sweep—English or no English, it's game over.
Tearing up visas when the highway’s already empty is like turning off the faucet while filling a bucket; sure, everyone in America loves a good drip, drip, drip of delayed deliveries.
