Illegal Alien Harjinder Singh Failed Written Driving Test 10 Times Before
Illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, who allegedly entered the United States illegally in 2018, failed his commercial driver’s license (CDL) knowledge exam 10 times in just two months before finally receiving a license in 2023.
The failure did not prevent him from eventually obtaining a CDL in Washington state, and later, California granted him a second license. Both states have come under scrutiny for issuing licenses to someone with repeated test failures and limited English proficiency.
Singh is accused of causing a fatal crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, on August 12, 2025, when his 18-wheeler jackknifed during an illegal U-turn.
The crash resulted in the deaths of three Haitian migrants traveling in a van that collided with Singh’s semi-truck.
Investigators with the Florida Attorney General’s office confirmed Singh failed his CDL knowledge exam 10 times between March 10 and May 5, 2023.
He also failed the air brakes knowledge exam twice, a critical portion of the CDL test for safely operating large commercial vehicles.
Bodycam footage from a July traffic stop in New Mexico shows Singh struggling to communicate in English, highlighting serious safety concerns for anyone operating heavy machinery on U.S. roads.
Despite these repeated failures, Singh was still issued his first CDL in Washington state, raising questions about the enforcement of federal safety standards.
California later issued Singh another CDL, even though the state has long resisted enforcing federal English language requirements for commercial drivers.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the problem, stating that many big-rig drivers fail to meet English proficiency standards, posing risks to American families.
Duffy added that California is the only state refusing to ensure drivers can read road signs and communicate with law enforcement, calling it a “fundamental safety issue.”
The Florida Attorney General’s office has filed a lawsuit against California and Washington in the Supreme Court, seeking to prevent the states from issuing CDLs to illegal immigrants.
The lawsuit argues that both states failed to comply with federal immigration and safety standards, creating a public safety hazard.
The crash highlights broader concerns over federal and state policies that allow illegal immigrants to operate commercial vehicles despite limited English skills.
Singh’s history shows a disturbing pattern: repeated test failures, limited comprehension, and eventual licensing in sanctuary states that prioritize politics over safety.
Officials investigating the wreck confirmed Singh had difficulty with English and road sign tests, yet licensing authorities approved him to drive commercially.
Critics argue the Biden administration’s policies and sanctuary state practices contribute to unsafe conditions on American highways.
The fatal crash has become a focal point for debates over immigration enforcement and CDL licensing, particularly in states that resist federal oversight.
Singh’s case is part of a broader pattern where sanctuary policies and lenient enforcement undermine public safety and place American lives at risk.
The Florida AG’s lawsuit aims to hold states accountable for putting unqualified drivers on the road, emphasizing the importance of English proficiency and proper testing.
Singh’s alleged actions — making an illegal U-turn that caused three deaths — underscore the real-world consequences of policy failures in licensing and immigration enforcement.
Officials also revealed that Singh struggled with English even during training sessions at a Washington-based CDL school, further questioning the effectiveness of these programs.
The public safety community is calling for stricter oversight of CDL issuance and federal enforcement of English proficiency requirements for drivers.
The case also reignites concerns about how illegal immigrants are granted work permits and access to safety-sensitive roles, despite repeated evidence of incompetence.
Democrats Run Headlong Into The Govt. Shutdown Trap And Instantly Regret It
Well, here we are. Despite President Donald Trump practically waving a neon warning sign that a shutdown would blow up in their faces, Democrats marched straight into the trap and hit the shutdown button anyway. Brilliant strategy, right?
So how’s the messaging holding up? To put it kindly—it’s a disaster. Even their usual cheerleaders in the press can’t spin this mess into anything but political self-sabotage.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) tried to seize the narrative with a “Stop the Republican Shutdown” livestream overnight. The problem? Virtually nobody tuned in. It may go down as one of the least-watched political events in recent memory—a perfect metaphor for Democrats’ flailing messaging on the shutdown.
By morning, the livestream had been rebranded as “Stop the Republican Shutdown Pt. 2,” featuring a revolving door of Democrats railing against the GOP. At one point, when Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) took the podium, the viewership tally hovered at just 38 people—hardly the groundswell of grassroots energy Democrats were hoping to project.
In a nation of 320 million people, pulling in a livestream audience that couldn’t even fill a high school gym is, to put it mildly, less than ideal. But honestly, it’s not surprising.
That’s because Democrats simply don’t have a case to make. There’s no rational argument that Republicans are to blame for this shutdown. The House already passed a clean continuing resolution—no cuts, no gimmicks—and it was Democrats in the Senate who chose to block it. Two of their own even broke ranks to side with the GOP. Had Democrats not filibustered, the government would be open today.
That’s as straightforward as it gets. The chain of responsibility is crystal clear, and Americans aren’t buying the spin. The reason Jeffries’ livestream drew fewer viewers than a backyard barbecue is simple: people aren’t interested in watching Democrats twist themselves into rhetorical pretzels trying to pin this on Republicans.
It was obvious from the start: if a shutdown hit, President Trump would seize the opportunity to go after the bloated federal bureaucracies. Now that it’s here, hundreds of thousands of government workers—overwhelmingly Democrats—are at risk of losing their jobs with little recourse. And the impact on ordinary Americans? Practically none, beyond a few shuttered bathrooms and unpaid interns. That leaves Republicans with zero incentive to cave.
The real damage is political, and it’s all landing on Democrats. They’re losing the narrative so badly that even The New York Times is pointing the finger at them. When the paper of record can’t spin the blame away, you know just how lopsided the fight has become:
Maybe Democrats think there’s some master strategy at play here, but from where I’m sitting this looks like one giant self-own. At the end of the day, they’re not going to win their pet priorities—NPR bailouts or healthcare for illegal immigrants—but they could end up sacrificing a large chunk of their bureaucratic power base.
And for what? So Hakeem Jeffries and his crew can rant into a YouTube livestream with an audience smaller than a church bingo night.
