FMCSA-2025-0886 FMCSA reconsider this rule as it applies to DACA recipients. I came to the United States in 2005 as a child. This is the only home I have ever known. I earned my Class B CDL by meeting every requirement, including the written tests, skills test, and medical certification. I worked as a local waste collection driver in Washington. When this rule took effect, I lost my CDL and my job not because I was unsafe or unqualified, but because of my immigration status. I am the sole provider for my wife and our three children, and losing my career has placed a tremendous burden on my family. I fully support FMCSA’s mission to keep our roads safe. However, I believe commercial drivers should be evaluated based on their training, qualifications, medical fitness, and driving record not excluded solely because they are DACA recipients. I ask FMCSA to allow DACA recipients who are legally authorized to work and who meet every commercial driver qualification to obtain and maintain a Class B CDL for local commercial driving. We perform essential work, have proven we can do it safely, and simply want the opportunity to continue supporting our families and serving our communities. Thank you for considering my comment.
