Not recognizing that the same mistake made 17,000 times “by accident” over a few years is likely not accidental is also not a great strategy for getting mistake

Not recognizing that the same mistake made 17,000 times “by accident” over a few years is likely not accidental is also not a great strategy for getting mistakes fixed Every one of those required an I-9 check. This means somebody changed the procedure to not require a federally mandated check. Not a small oopsie by one person - a deliberate action from top.

I would not assume pure malice in this case. The whole trifecta between the fed, the state and the state DMV is just complete spaghetti and need serious reform. The idea of state level drivers' licenses is really short sighted

  I-9 verification has been law since .... November 1986 CDL is for work and requires i9 verification. This is not new

    This is not a matter about it being law but rather how poorly these systems mesh together thanks to government at all levels in the US being years behind Euro counterparts partially due to legislation barriers and probably cronyism

      Excuse denied You do not need any "meshing" to know that work requires work authorization. It has been the case since before most current DMV workers were born!

        And yet, you do need meshing to know whether or not they have work authorization. Would recommend taking a minute to really think about what people are saying to you, instead of jumping to asinine, teenage bullshit like "excuse denied".

        I9 is simple. I’ve administered it. Nothing hard. No way to mess it Up unless you just don’t do it

The issue isn't that they were issuing CDLs to people who didn't qualify but that their work visa and license were supposed to expire around the same time so they couldn't overstay their visa and keep their job. Or, I'm guessing this was the intent of the law they're now enforcing.

The word you are looking for is "state capture".
