Oopsie. Honest mistake(s) x17,000
.
I-9 verification has been law since .... November 1986
CDL is for work and requires i9 verification.
This is not new. Plenty of time to do it right...

Chastising people for fixing their own mistakes is not a great strategy for getting mistakes fixed.

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

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".

This line of reasoning is genuinely stupid and you deserve to be derided and mocked.
You can draw a straight line between these "mistakes" and these people violating traffic laws in such a way that they kill other motorists abiding by all traffic laws.
By your reasoning, I can burn your house down and kill your family, and it's absolved by apologizing.
What you don't realize is suicidal empathy eventually corrects itself with extremely violent vigilantism. And when that happens, you'll be begging for the state to come in to restore order, but they will be unable to.
