The shocking Oklahoma bust – where state troopers pulled over 125+ semi-trucks in just three days, every single one driven by illegal aliens wielding fraudulent "No Name Given" commercial driver's licenses from sanctuary states like California and New York – exposes a terrifying reality for Colorado. Our state sits smack in the middle of America's trucking superhighway: I-70 (the main artery from California through the Rockies to the East Coast) and I-25 (the north-south spine from New Mexico to Wyoming). That means hundreds, if not thousands of these same unvetted, unidentified ghost drivers thunder through Colorado every single day at 80 mph, hauling 80,000-pound missiles with zero verifiable identity, no real background checks, and often limited English skills. One blown tire, one wrong lane change on an icy mountain pass, and entire Colorado families could be wiped out – all courtesy of blue-state policies that prioritize illegal aliens over American safety.
If Oklahoma caught 125 illegal alien truckers in THREE DAYS on just one stretch of I-40, imagine the tidal wave of danger blasting through Colorado 24/7 on I-70 and I-25 – the two busiest interstate corridors for cross-country freight in the Mountain West.
These aren't "migrants looking for a better life." These are unidentified foreign nationals piloting massive semis with CDLs that literally read "No Name Given" – rubber-stamped by radical Democrats in California and New York who refuse to enforce federal immigration law. No real name, no fingerprints tied to a real identity, no criminal background check that actually works. And thanks to sanctuary policies, they're free to haul everything from produce to hazardous materials right past your kid's school bus on their way to Denver, Colorado Springs, or the Eastern Plains.
Colorado's own Democrat leaders have spent years rolling out the red carpet: Jared Polis and his legislature made it easier than ever for undocumented aliens to get standard driver's licenses under SB13-251 (CO-RCSA), and while they claim no CDLs are issued to illegals here, the damage is done elsewhere – and we're the ones paying the price. Those ghost trucks don't stop at the border; they roar straight through our mountains, our cities, and our neighborhoods. One distracted "No Name Given" driver on snowy I-70 could trigger a chain-reaction pileup that kills dozens. We've already seen deadly semi crashes involving illegal drivers on US-285 and elsewhere – how many more graves before Polis admits his open-borders virtue-signaling is a direct threat to Coloradan lives?
This is what "sanctuary" really means: sanctuary for criminals, danger for citizens. Thank God Trump is back – mass deportations, revoking every fraudulent CDL, and forcing blue states to comply with federal law start on Day One. Until then, every time you merge onto I-70 or I-25, remember: somewhere in that convoy of 18-wheelers could be a ticking time bomb with "No Name Given" behind the wheel.
Colorado families deserve better. America First means safe highways – not rolling coffins courtesy of the radical left.
