Duffy: ‘Newscum’ Is Putting Americans in Danger by Ignoring Language Proficiency Standards for Truck Drivers

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for refusing to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ensuring truck drivers can speak and read English and emphasized withholding federal funding is just one of several “pain points” the Department of Transportation (DOT) can inflict on the Golden State for failing to comply with the guidance.


During Tuesday’s White House Cabinet meeting, Duffy said that California, New Mexico, and Washington had refused to comply with the directive, which Breitbart News broke the news of in April, and noted later in the evening on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle that they have 30 days to comply or face losing federal funding, which he said is “just step one.”


During a press gaggle with Duffy on Wednesday aboard the next-gen Acela on its maiden voyage to New York, Breitbart News asked the secretary if he had spoken with officials from any of the three states since setting the 30-day deadline. While New Mexico appears willing to come into compliance, according to Duffy, California remains indignant.

Why should illegal aliens have to adhere to any laws?  That would be biased.

"While New Mexico appears willing to come into compliance, according to Duffy, California remains indignant."

How to deal with CA on this:
Put up DOT checkpoints at all border crossings on main highways to Arizona, Nevada, Oregon.

Administer an on-the-spot "language and reading test" to all heavy trucks crossing the line.

Driver can't speak/read English at the most basic levels ??
Then... turn the truck around, right back into California.
Do this for a week, and I predict that things will change.

Like Butch said to Sundance after he placed explosives on the baggage car:
"That oughta do it...!"

Congress can fix this by denying Federal highway funds to any state that does not require a Federally mandated level of English proficiency for the issuance or retention of commercial driver's licenses.
