Executive Order: English proficiency required to drive a commercial vehicle

🇺🇸🚚 America First!

🚚🇺🇸 President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Monday that ensures truckers are adept at speaking English, America’s official language, Breitbart News can reveal.

A White House document on the expected executive order, reviewed by Breitbart News, aims to ensure those operating a commercial vehicle in the United States are qualified and proficient English speakers.

“President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,” the document notes.

Under the anticipated order, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be directed “to rescind and replace guidance to strengthen inspection procedures for compliance with English proficiency requirements,” per the White House document.

Ballots should be in English only

Bilingual ballots “impose an unacceptable cost by degrading the very concept of the citizen to that of someone lost in a country whose public discourse is incomprehensible to him.”

~ John Silber
President Emeritus of Boston University, 1996 testimony to Congress.

1) There is No Justification for Multilingual Ballots and Election Materials
2) Multilingual Ballot Requirements are Arbitrary and Wasteful
3) Multilingual Ballots are an Unfunded Mandate on Local Governments
4) Multilingual Ballots increase the likelihood of Errors and Vote Fraud
5) Multilingual Ballots are a Growing Burden

Go to the ProEnglish website and see their in-depth explanations for the above and why we should not have bilingual ballots.

Florida already decided this issue in 1988:

Florida English as Official Language Amendment (1988)

The English as Florida's Official Language Amendment, on the ballot as Measure 11, was on the 1988 ballot in Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment. Amendment 11 established English as the official state language. It was approved.
Measure 11 was the fifth citizen-initiated proposed amendment to appear on a Florida statewide ballot. It won by 83.87% of the total vote of 3,457,039.

Let's stop making it easier for illegals and help reduce the cost to citizens of Florida.

Is English Florida's official Language?

Judge Orders Florida Election Officials to Offer Ballots Printed in Spanish

The citizens of Florida amended our state constitution in 1988 regarding its official language...English.

Amendment 11 established English as the official state language. It was approved by 83.87% of the 4,121.900 votes cast.

As I recall, one of the purposes was to save millions in printing costs throughout the state not to mention that we are an English speaking nation and our Constitution requires that everyone wanting naturalization must have an understanding of the English language, including reading, writing, and speaking.

Measure 11 was the fifth citizen-initiated proposed amendment to appear on a Florida statewide ballot. Text of measure Amendment 11's ballot summary was: Establishes English as the official language of the State of Florida. Enables the legislature to implement this article by appropriate legislation.

House bill 997 - English will be the official language

English Language Unity Act of 2017

This bill establishes English as the official language of the United States, introduced by Rep. Steve King in February 2017. It's amazing that bills as important as this one, lingers on from committee to committee. Let's make this a law!

It states: Naturalization ceremonies and official functions of the U.S. government, subject to exceptions, must be conducted in English.

The bill declares that all citizens should be able to read and understand generally the English language text of U.S. laws.

A person injured by a violation of this bill may obtain relief, including a declaratory judgment, in a civil action.

English language requirements and workplace policies, whether in the public or private sector, shall be presumptively consistent with U.S. laws. Any ambiguity in U.S. laws shall be resolved in accordance with the rights retained by the people and the powers reserved to states under the Bill of Rights.

The Department of Homeland Security shall issue a proposed rule for uniform testing of the English language ability of candidates for naturalization based upon the principles that: (1) all citizens should be able to read and understand generally the English language text of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the laws of the United States; and (2) any exceptions to this standard should be limited to extraordinary circumstances, such as asylum.

Immigrants should Speak English

Well I don't know about you, but it drives me crazy when I enter an establishment in this country and everyone is speaking Spanish.  A few months ago I approached a woman employee at Bodegon and she did not speak English. In fact, the store had no one who could speak with me intelligently in our official language even the woman working in customer service. She finally hailed down some young man to interpret for me.

32 states have made English their official language:
"States that have English-only laws are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming."

In 1988, Florida voters decided to make English our official language. But as a resident in south Florida, we know that many immigrants do not speak nor do they understand English.  What's more, they cross our borders and have no intention of learning. If they tried to assimilate, perhaps some of the prejudice might disseminate. Instead, there are some in Miami who want to make English and Spanish our official language, making it easier for immigrants never to learn our language thus  changing our culture forever.

Promoting trust and minimizing racial hostility can be achieved by establishing a common language, that of English..

What ever happened to speaking English?

Comment Up

What's the fastest growing language spoken in the United States? Arabic.

The number of people ages 5 and older who speak Arabic at home has grown by 29% between 2010 and 2014 to 1.1 million, making it the seventh most commonly spoken non-English language in the U.S. Meanwhile, the number who speak Spanish at home has grown only 6% over the same time period. But we hear immigrants speaking all of the time in other languages other than English even in shops where some workers are clueless regarding English. You ask a question and they just stare at you. In Lake Worth, the Spanish language is predominate as is the population.

This is America, folks! People need to learn English and be able to read and write it but this liberal government in Washington has changed all of that. Progressives love all this diversity. Some people are exempt from the English language requirement when becoming naturalized citizens, but are still required to take the Civics Test and they can take that in their native language.  We bend over backwards.

Florida had a Constitutional Amendment in 1988 that made English our official language and Amendment 11 established English as the official state language. It was overwhelmingly approved.

Amendment 11's ballot summary was:

Establishes English as the official language of the State of Florida. Enables the legislature to implement this article by appropriate legislation.

The measure's full text was:

    Section 9. English is the Official Language of Florida.
    (a) English is the official language of the state of Florida.
    (b) The Legislature shall have the power to enforce this section by appropriate legislation.

Wikipedia says, Worldwide 178 countries have at least one official language but the United States no longer has one. 27 U.S. states and all inhabited U.S. territories, excluding Puerto Rico have designated English the official language and courts have found that residents do not have a right to government services in their preferred language. No one enforces it in Florida and certainly not in Lake Worth.  No one cares. In the meantime, Lake Worth is a Sanctuary City as is the entire County of Palm Beach. And we wonder why we have so many problems.

It is time to look and fix our immigration policy and requirements for citizenship.
