About this listen
The Trump administration is enforcing the English proficiency requirement for commercial drivers, of whom over 200,000 are immigrants. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that over 10,700 CDL drivers could not sufficiently read or speak the English language and were disqualified from holding their license.
The Spectator P.M. Podcast hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss the findings and talk about the importance of the English proficiency tests for these truckers. They discuss recent fatal incidents involving truckers who could not understand English, and how this standard should be common sense. Tune in to hear their discussion!
