Keep Illegal Aliens Off Our Roads

Dalilah Coleman was 5 years old when she was hit by an 18-wheeler driven by an illegal alien. The truck plowed into her stopped car at over 60 miles an hour. After spending 3 weeks in a coma, 4 months without half her skull, and 6 months in the hospital, she now enters first grade unable to walk, talk, or eat without assistance.

Illegal aliens who do not speak English and cannot read road signs should not be issued commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). That should be common sense. However, our laws do not reflect this. States continue providing loopholes and alternate avenues for illegal immigrants to remain on our roads.

Open borders policies and ruinous amnesty laws allowed criminals to infiltrate the country without consequence. A new proposed rule by the Department of Transportation (DOT) would improve public safety by enforcing requirements on English proficiency for CDLs. The DOT's proposed rule will enforce stricter scrutiny to determine proficiency in English during the actual license certification process.

However, executive efforts can only go so far. Without codification by Congress, these efforts are vulnerable to change or reversal. Enacting legislation will ensure lasting enforcement of these measures and stop future preventable harm to innocent bystanders like Dalilah.

The Dalilah Law (S. 3917 / H.R. 7793) led by Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) and Representative Erin Houchin (R-IN), will make fully illegal providing any state-issued CDL to illegal aliens, as well as require all commercial vehicles to display a permanent, reflective, non-magnetized business name visible up to 100ft away.

Both the DOT's proposed rule and The Daliliah Law are necessary for our country's safety.

Dalilah is one of many innocent victims of illegal aliens invading the country each day. Her name is not just another statistic.

Her name should be written into law.
