California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver's licenses given to immigrants after discovering the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S., state officials said Wednesday.

The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally. The issue was thrust into the public's consciousness in August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people.

17,000 for 1 state for drivers is a huge number. I'm glad to see California doing something about it but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

This doesn’t prevent qualified immigrants from getting CDLs, the only change is the expiration date will align with the visa expiration date.

But it will prevent employers from hiring truckers who they "think" are legally allowed to drive trucks in this country, but aren't.

...from the op's link:

Newsom's office said that every one of the drivers whose license is being revoked had valid work authorizations from the federal government. At first, his office declined to disclose the exact reason for revoking the licenses, saying only they violated state law. Later, his office revealed the state law it was referring to was one that requires the licenses expire on or before a person's legal status to be in the United State ends, as reported to the DMV.

Essentially, California failed to set the correct license expiration date to coincide with the end of the person's legal status.

...yes. But no worries, fully automated trucks will soon be the norm.

edit to add link (in Texas, automated trucks are already on the highway from Dallas to Houston....since May).

Since when is driving a truck a "good paying job"? Maybe it pays well if you've got some extra certifications and drive for a specialty outfit doing stuff like high security or way oversized loads, but everything I hear about vanilla hauling is that it's a race to the bottom and that the industry is full of predatory firms conning drivers into expensive loans. And it's probably within a generation of being completely replaced by robots.
