Shannon Everett, a co-founder of American Truckers United, discussed on a show that some undocumented truck drivers possess licenses with “no names.”
“What’s striking is that when you examine the principal officers of authorities in states like California, many come from India and China, which are the most influential. There are actually over 500 companies registered with unnamed individuals,” Everett stated.
“In the past month, there was an incident in Oklahoma where the governor shared his driver’s license, which indicated ‘name not given,'” he shared, responding to host Mike Slater’s request for more details.
“This is a real ID. The arguments being made are, frankly, baffling and unacceptable. First of all, these individuals shouldn’t even qualify for a commercial driver’s license under the current regulations. Due to naming customs from where they come from, they might only possess one name, making it impossible to include a first and last name on the license,” he explained.
However, he mentioned that the majority of drivers who re-entered the country after previous arrests and deportations, especially over the last three years, generally prefer to remain unidentified.
“When they illegally enter the country, they tend to avoid identification. If provided an option to state that they have no name from their origin, that’s the route they take,” he noted.
“On the governor’s license, either the first or last name is redacted. So if it reads ‘no name specified,’ it’s likely one of the names being withheld,” he added.
“Are there any cultures beyond Hollywood where individuals only possess one name?” Slater inquired, with Everett highlighting that this issue also arises in the passport application process.
“I haven’t come across any issues like this with our passports,” Everett remarked, attributing the problem to “the same rogue states you mentioned earlier this year, like California, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, which are all producing these unnamed commercial driver’s licenses.”
“A friend of mine found a sample of over 600 unnamed trucking companies, with the majority located in California,” he disclosed.
