ARKANSAS English Checks Have Begun, They’re checking ALL trucks

Send them back to Ukraine!

 

This is the entire issue, it has nothing more to to with uniformity of transportation, and those who do not want to conform, they do not need to be involved

True, I tried to explain a few times that FMCSA and State DOT enforcement is there for administrative enforcement and your rights are limited based on the rule of law and courts. Don't like it, then go get elected and have the laws changed, until then it is part of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

That is right, the same as if you want o get a commercial pilot's license, you have to speak English.

No the cradle was between new england and Georgia, most of these ideas we have today came from all over.

The founding fathers spoke english but there were 15 other languages in the country.

I would say primary but there were 15 other languages spoken. Onte thing that we don't seem to remember is the number of Scots and Irish who spoke other languages.

French was philosophy and diplomacy, Latin was used for religion and classical education, and was a glue language. It didn't matter if you were French, Spanish, or Saxon; you understood Latin and could converse with others. Science had several languages; what we think of as German was one, but so was English.

It doesn't, it is an administrative issue.

My solution is to put the carriers on notice that they will be dinged or shut down if they hire anyone who can not speak English while at the same time, the state records would provide who has a non-domicile CDL, then all is needed, is to be revoked in mass with no exceptions. If someone is caught not being able to speak english, then the truck is taken, the driver loses his CDL and the carrier has to deal with the problems from their hiring someone who is running illegal.

 

This Non Domicile CLD law sounds like ot affects Canadians and Mexicans? A different law from the State Arkansas.

 

Lawmaker introduces bill codifying English proficiency for truckers

 

Sounds like they’re gonna codify it now into federal law. A bill has been introduced

 

There are even more languages today, so what? Should Trump address people in German now?

 

No that's not what they mean, a non-domicile CDL is one that is issued by a state and it waves a lot of the requirements to earning a CDL, like say ... written tests or english requirement.

Actually, there were more languages then than today.

Just taking German, there was no standard German language at the time of our founding; it wasn't until 1901 that one was created for a unified Germany. Palatine German, Swabian, and Hessian (among the other 5 or 6) were considered all separate Germanic languages, not German, and Pennsylvania Dutch derives from Palatine German. There were five types of French, there were three types of Spanish and all of them had forks and derivatives for regional or local populations. I am not even approaching the native american's hundred or so languages. There were even many English dialects that were considered languages on their own, but overall, there were 15 root languages and 90 dialects of them in one form or another.

AND ... if you want to know what English sounded like when we were founded, talk to someone from the upper midwest, according to many socialinguist and linguist historians, this accent is what the English sounded like circa 1776.

 

You're right.
I was speaking Palatine German in my previous life.

 

Smart *****. LOL

 

English-only movement - Wikipedia

It has been tried and tried and tried...

The modern English-only movement has met with rejection from the Linguistic Society of America, which passed a resolution in 1986–87 opposing "'English only' measures on the grounds that they are based on misconceptions about the role of a common language in establishing political unity, and that they are inconsistent with basic American traditions of linguistic tolerance."

It takes 38 states to pass a constitutional amendment. Currently there are only 31 states with "english only" laws, correction "english official" - 3 of those 31 also have "other" "official" languages recognized, so only 28 states list english as the only "official" language. It wont pass the courts even if it does pass the house/senate....
