ICYMI: RSC Members Brecheen, Rouzer Spotlight Republican Efforts to Secure the Border, Sound Alarms on What’s at Stake if Democrats Regain Control
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In Case You Missed It (ICYMI), The Center Square highlighted the newest release of the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) Right to the Point podcast, featuring Rep. Josh Brecheen (OK-02) and Rep. David Rouzer (NC-07) on how Republicans are strengthening border security, improving roadway safety, and protecting American lives after inheriting the worst border crisis in history.
The Biden-Harris administration allowed thousands of unqualified, foreign national drivers to obtain commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) despite not understanding the English language or American traffic laws. As a CDL holder himself, Rep. Brecheen discussed the widening gaps in vetting, training, and licensing standards in Democrat-led states. Rep. Rouzer highlighted his bill, Dalilah's Law, that would close this loophole and prevent illegal aliens from wreaking havoc on our roadways.
As Democrats call to abolish critical immigration enforcement agencies, open America’s borders, and grant amnesty to illegal aliens who broke the law, the Congressmen warn that the significant border security gains made under President Trump and Republican leadership are at risk if the radical Left regains power in November.
Highlights of the article are below:
“A group of U.S. House Republicans are highlighting the party’s immigration policy wins since the second Trump administration took office. U.S. Reps. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., and David Rouzer, R-N.C., touted the 95% reduction in illegal border crossings during the second Trump administration, which has also overseen the deportation or self-removal of more than 2 million migrants who had illegally lived in the U.S.”
“During the former Biden administration, more than 14 million illegal entries were reported nationwide, The Center Square exclusively reported, including two million "gotaways," those who entered between ports of entry and evaded capture. The Biden administration also allowed at least two million migrants who illegally crossed the U.S. border to claim asylum – without having to provide evidence of eligibility – and released them into the country on parole…Likely thousands of those parolees obtained Commercial Drivers Licenses to drive 18-wheelers, a 2025 report from Overdrive found, calculating that 60,000 non-domiciled CDLs were active at the time. Nondomiciled CDL drivers caused at least 17 fatal crashes and 30 deaths in 2025.”
“Since 2025, the DOT has forced states to cancel at least 28,000 CDLs to immigrants illegally residing in the country. Republicans, Brecheen said, ‘are working hard to reverse the radicalization of these rules and laws and these policies that have created such havoc.’ ‘And, of course, with every election, the American people have a choice,’ Rouzer added. ‘Do they want to go back to wide open borders like we were right, or do they want safety and security? And I think I know the answer to that.’”
