President Trump has signed executive orders focusing on immigration and English-language proficiency among commercial motor drivers. The order aims to reinforce existing federal laws that require truckers to be proficient in English, citing safety concerns and communication issues on the road. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that these measures are essential for public safety and support the backbone of the American economy. Additionally, Trump directed officials to identify 'sanctuary city' jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, furthering his administrationâs immigration policy agenda.
"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."
"There's a lot of communications problems between truckers on the road, which is a public safety risk."
"We're going to ensure that our truckers, who are the backbone of our economy, are all able to speak English. That's a very common sense policy in the United States of America."
