宾夕法尼亚州参议员道格·马斯特里亚诺告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，宽松的移民执法为这起造成一名州警死亡的撞车事故埋下了隐患。
这起据称由一名非法移民卡车司机造成、导致宾夕法尼亚州州警迈克尔·帕希拉小儿子身亡的撞车事故，暴露了公路安全与移民执法交叉领域的漏洞，宾州“移车避让法”的起草者如是说。
根据美国国土安全部消息，33岁的海地国民迈克尔·邦通过前总统乔·拜登的大规模假释计划入境美国，他驾驶的重型卡车在81号州际公路撞上宾夕法尼亚州州警帕希拉的巡逻车后，他已被逮捕。
州参议员道格·马斯特里亚诺（共和党，来自葛底斯堡）的选区覆盖了81号州际公路沿线卡车通行密集走廊的大片区域。他表示，自己提出的这项法律旨在防止此类悲剧重演——这类事故在其选区内或附近已发生多起。
马斯特里亚诺称，邦的非法移民身份让这场悲剧本可以双重避免。

马斯特里亚诺表示，他的“移车避让法”于2019年出台，是他当选州议员后最初提出的法案之一。
“我接到了钱伯斯堡市埃比拖车公司的拖车司机汤姆·布里克的求助，”他说，“他跟我讲了他经历过的所有险遭不幸的场面，还有他那些被撞毁拖车、死伤的朋友……尤其是在81号公路沿线，因为这条公路途经我们地区。”

布里克向马斯特里亚诺反映情况后不久，拖车司机泰勒·劳登斯莱格在黎巴嫩以西的81号州际公路上被撞身亡，这推动了他的“移车避让”立法，时任民主党州长汤姆·沃尔夫签署了该法案。
自那以后，宾夕法尼亚州的驾车者被要求为拖车和其他应急车辆移车避让，或减速至安全车速，而据称邦在撞上帕希拉的巡逻车时并未遵守这一规定。
“如果联邦政府能够执行他们自己的法律、守护边境，确保只有合法入境者才能上路，迈克尔·帕希拉警官本可以活下来，”他指出了自己的法案与移民执法政策之间的关联。

马斯特里亚诺在2022年提出的另一项法案获得通过，允许拖车在停靠时使用警方配发的蓝色警示灯，以提醒过往司机注意。这位参议员表示，该法案源于他与布里克和其他拖车司机的会面，他从中了解到中西部地区已开展过类似试点项目。
马斯特里亚诺称，当时居住在马萨诸塞州布罗克顿、并由该州机动车登记处（RMV）颁发了商业驾照的邦，在帕希拉警官在弗拉克维尔以南对一辆商用车辆进行无关检查时，驶出了自己的车道，撞上了帕希拉的巡逻车。
马萨诸塞州和宾夕法尼亚州都曾出现过向非法入境移民颁发商业驾照的案件，马斯特里亚诺表示，各州有权自行制定机动车政策。

宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗的政府此前曾指责国土安全部——该部门维护着用于识别非公民移民身份的SAVE登记系统，宾州交通部使用该系统来确定驾照申领资格。
当被问及像宾夕法尼亚州这样的州部分将问题归咎于联邦政府时，马斯特里亚诺表示，这种“互相指责”必须停止。
“乔什·夏皮罗，请解决这个问题，你在宾夕法尼亚州拥有很大的权力，你作为州长应该行使这份权力，要求你的交通部长更新记录，确保所有获得商业驾照的人都是合法入境者，并且懂语言、能够操控车辆，”他说。
“此前犯下了诸多错误，相关人员必须承担责任，现在仅仅将州政府层面的问题归咎于联邦政府是错误的，”他说道。
马萨诸塞州和宾夕法尼亚州都为各自的驾照系统进行了辩护，他们告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们依靠联邦SAVE数据库来验证邦的申领资格。

“这名被告应受到法律的最严厉起诉，”希利政府的机动车登记处发言人说道，他呼应了夏皮罗政府为联邦SAVE数据库的辩护，并指出该数据库由联邦政府运营。
“宾夕法尼亚州每一位申请商业学习许可或驾照的非美国公民都必须提供身份证明……以及在美国合法居留的证明，这一点将通过美国公民及移民服务局管理的联邦SAVE数据库进行验证，”夏皮罗的发言人罗西·拉波夫斯基说道。
一位熟悉马萨诸塞州州府政策的消息人士称，按照马萨诸塞州的程序，邦在2027年申请任何驾照续期时都会被拒。
当被问及作为州议员，联邦政府可以为这类案件频发的州做些什么时，马斯特里亚诺表示，尊重联邦制——即各州拥有半自治权——这一点很重要，但这也让管理变得“棘手”。
马斯特里亚诺提到了20世纪70年代汽油危机期间，联邦政府利用公路资金鼓励各州遵守55英里每小时限速规定的做法。
他建议，如今也可以采用同样的策略。
他提到《艾森豪威尔州际与国防公路法案》纳入了“国防”相关考量，称华盛顿也可以根据军事前哨之间的联系来分配资金，改善公路状况。
就帕希拉和其他多人遇难的81号州际公路而言，他指出，其沿线坐落着其选区内的莱滕尼陆军仓库、美国陆军战争学院和托比哈纳陆军仓库，这可以推动争取更多车道和更好路况的资金。

Deadly illegal immigrant truck crash exposed failures on the road and at the border: key senator
July 8, 2026 11:18am EDT / Fox News
Author of Pennsylvania’s move-over law says trooper’s death exposed failures in highway safety and immigration enforcement.
By Charles Creitz Fox News
Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano tells Fox News Digital lax immigration enforcement helped pave the way for the crash that killed a state trooper.
The crash that killed a Pennsylvania state trooper, allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant truck driver, exposed failures at the intersection of highway safety and immigration enforcement, the architect of Pennsylvania’s move-over law said.
Michael Bon, a 33-year-old Haitian national who entered the U.S. under former President Joe Biden’s mass parole program, according to the Department of Homeland Security, was arrested after his big rig plowed into Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. on Interstate 81.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Gettysburg, whose district encompasses a large swath of Interstate 81’s heavily truck-trafficked corridor, said his law was meant to prevent tragedies like this, many of which have happened in or near his district.
Mastriano said Bon’s immigration status made the tragedy doubly preventable.

Mastriano said his move-over law came about in 2019 as one of his first efforts after being elected to the legislature.
“I heard from Tom Bricker, a tow truck operator at Abe’s Towing out of Chambersburg,” he said. “He told me all the close calls he’s had, all the friends of his that have been killed or injured by people crashing into the tow trucks … especially on 81, since that goes through our area.”

After Bricker visited Mastriano, tow trucker Tyler Laudenslager was struck and killed on Interstate 81 west of Lebanon, prompting his move-over legislation, which Democratic then-Gov. Tom Wolf signed.
Since then, Pennsylvania motorists have been required to move over for tow trucks and other emergency vehicles or slow to a safe speed, something Bon allegedly did not do when he struck Pahira’s cruiser.
“Trooper Michael should be alive today, had the federal government enforce their own laws protecting the border, making sure only people coming in legally can be on the roads,” he said, noting the nexus of his law and immigration enforcement policies.

Another Mastriano bill passed in 2022 allows tow trucks to use police-issued blue lights while stopped to get motorists to pay attention. The senator said it came about after meeting with Bricker and other tow truck drivers and learned of a pilot program of the sort in the Midwest.
Mastriano said Bon, who had been living in Brockton, Massachusetts, and was issued a CDL by the Bay State’s Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), drifted out of his lane when he struck Pahira, as the trooper was conducting an unrelated commercial-vehicle inspection south of Frackville.
With Massachusetts and Pennsylvania among the states that have faced cases involving CDLs issued to immigrants in the country illegally, Mastriano said states have authority to address motor vehicle policy.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration previously faulted DHS, whose agency maintains the SAVE registry that identifies a noncitizen’s immigration status, which PennDOT uses to determine licensure eligibility.
When asked about states like Pennsylvania faulting the federal government in part for the problem, Mastriano said the “finger-pointing” must stop.
“Josh Shapiro, please fix this, you have a lot of power here in Pennsylvania and you’re the governor and so exercise that power ask your secretary of transportation to update records to make sure anyone receiving CDL licenses is somebody who’s here legally and understands the language and can control a vehicle,” he said.
“A lot of mistakes were done and people need to be held responsible and to just shift the blame now to the federal government for a state government problem is just wrong,” he said.
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania both defended their licensing systems, telling Fox News Digital they relied on the federal SAVE database to verify Bon’s eligibility.

“This defendant should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” a Healey administration RMV spokesperson said, echoing the Shapiro administration’s defense of the federal SAVE database and noting it is federally operated.
“Every non-U.S. citizen who applies for a commercial learner’s permit or driver’s license in Pennsylvania must provide proof of identity and … lawful presence in the United States, which is verified with the federal SAVE database, administered by USCIS,” Shapiro spokeswoman Rosie Lapowsky said.
Under Massachusetts’ procedure, Bon would have been rejected upon any attempted renewal for 2027, a source familiar with Beacon Hill’s policies said.
When asked, as a state lawmaker, what the federal government can do about states where these cases have become common, Mastriano said respecting federalism, the idea that states have semi-autonomy, is important but can make it “tough” to manage.
Mastriano pointed to the federal government’s use of highway funding to encourage state compliance with the 55-mph speed limit during the 1970s gasoline crisis.
The same strategy could be used today, he suggested.
Referring to the Eisenhower Interstate and Defense Highways Act’s inclusion of “defense” concerns, Mastriano said resources could also be allocated by Washington to improve highways based on their linkage between military outposts.
In the case of Interstate 81, where Pahira and many others have been killed, he noted that Letterkenny Army Depot in his district, the U.S. Army War College and Tobyhanna Army Depot are located along it, which he said could spur funding for more lanes and better conditions.

Lapowsky noted PennDOT has paused all issuances of such licenses following a Sept. 29, 2025 federal order.
