Published | Video Starts at 05:33

53% of New York's non domiciled CDLs were issued unlawfully or illegally. Now what New York does is if an applicant comes in and they have a work authorization for 30 days, 60 days, one year, New York automatically issues them an eight year commercial driver's license...contrary to the law. That's one offense. But we also found that New York many times won't even verify whether they have a work authorization, they have a visa or they're in the country legally. (05:33–05:41)

CLAIM

Asserts that New York issues eight-year commercial driver's licenses automatically, which is against the law.
