President Donald Trump strikes another blow against illegal immigration after signing an executive order mandating that U.S.-based commercial truck drivers speak and be fluent in English.
NO MAS! NO MAS!
“Every day, truckers perform the demanding and dangerous work of transporting the Nation’s goods to businesses, customers, and communities safely, reliably, and efficiently,” stated President Trump in his order.
In another executive order penned earlier this year, President Trump established English as the official language of the U.S. The English edict Trump just signed is mandatory for every professional commercial driver.
“They should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station officers,” the President added in his edict. “Drivers need to provide feedback to their employers and customers and receive related directions in English.”

“My Administration will enforce the law to protect the safety of American truckers, drivers, passengers, and others, including by upholding the safety enforcement regulations that ensure that anyone behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle is properly qualified and proficient in our national language, English.”
“You might not know, but there’s a lot of communication problems between truckers on the road with federal officials and local officials, as well, which obviously is a public safety risk,” said WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shortly after the order was released.
