California is about to learn the hard way that all states are supposed to make sure drivers can read English before they give them a drivers license. As reported at FOX News, the Trump administration is withholding $40 million from California over its refusal to enforce English language requirements for truckers.
The Trump administration plans to withhold $40 million from California over its refusal to enforce English language requirements for truckers, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday.
The move came weeks after an investigation found that an illegal immigrant truck driver, Harjinder Singh, killed three people after making an illegal U-turn on a Florida road in August.
California had issued the driver a commercial license, but these English rules predate the crash.
Duffy cited failures by California to enforce English proficiency rules following one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders.
