Sean Duffy: "It's common sense. English language, English tests, American citizens drive on American roads. If you can't come into the country properly and you're not a citizen, you should not be driving a commercial vehicle."

So people from England, other countries where English is a first language, countries where people speak English better that Sean Duffy does, are fine? Afrikaans speakers are OK too, mirite?

Only the best Have you asked Orange Foghorn what language does he use? Rambling and babbling is not a language How much new air traffic control equipment has been installed? I know, Biden did it Fuck you

Here's common sense: when are we gonna hold the people hiring these people for cheap labor, accountable. We can rage at the people doing bad things all we want, but if they don't get proper training, at some point, the head of the company should have to explain.

No, it's not a reasonable requirement. You can't expect drivers to speak a dozens of languages. In Europe, there are a lot of drivers who are delivering goods to another country, not speaking the language of said country.

This ______ (fill in the blank with your own word) is the same _______ to tell me when I was canvassing for office that he was concerned there were not enough American flags around town, and we needed to do a better job. God I hate him.

Is he speaking English? Sounds like a North American flavour, and they drive on the wrong side of the road to boot! /s

Drivers from dozens of countries crisscross Europe every day. They don’t all speak French or German or Serbian or Spanish or English or Dutch or Russian. They know what traffic signs mean and they can read a map. I assume they can also change a tire or call their boss if needed.

So now numbnuts is saying you have to be an American citizen to drive a truck? Seriously? Duffy is scrambling to find reasons to get airtime. Maybe—just maybe—he should focus on making our airways safer. It sure seems to me to be going down the gurgler since Pete was running the show.

I drove 7 months in Europe in 1967-1968. I put 9000 miles on the odometer in countries speaking 11 different languages, using three alphabets (Roman, Cyrillic, Greek), and sometimes in the left lane (UK). I got a speeding ticket in Yugoslavia, but not because I couldn't read the speed limit signage.

Common sense is that you serve in our govt and shouldn’t use our taxpayer $$$ to take a family vacation or promote your extracurricular paid gigs (actually, you shouldn’t have any extracurricular paid gigs). Also stop calling your political opponents names, it should be beneath you.

Hey Sean, how many English people have been killed or severely injured due to American service people and their spouses pulling out of US bases in England and driving on the wrong side of the road?

Quebec commercial truckers transport goods across the United States. Not American citizens. Limited English. Canadian certification. Would Sean Duffy like to completely halt ALL trade w/ Canada? No more O&G, fertilizer, soft woods, cars, minerals, maple syrup, ...?

Without immigrant labor, legal or illegal, the American economy would not be where it is today — there are insufficient white workers to keep the economy going. In addition to him being racist, he's also ignorant.

Right .. for anyone saying "When I go on vacation I drive in Europe just fine." That is driving a rental car, he is talking semis and big trucks. I agree with him that the drivers need to speak English and pass a commerical driving test.

Of course the Poles delivering to Greece, Germany and Portugal have a commercial driving license, but you would expect them to learn three completely different languages? Do your US truck drivers need to speak Navajo too? And Pennsylvania Dutch, to make deliveries there? Or French for Quebec?

The “aluminum“ spelling is standard in the U.S. and Canada. The guy who named it was a British chemist. He initially named it aluminium but then changed it to aluminum. Chemists recognize both, because they’re not stupid.

Actually, the USA is an outlier (as per) and does not use the common international signs, and goes for written more than image based signs.

Spanish has been spoken longer than English in North America. The oldest continuously occupied city in the US is St. Augustine - a Spanish city that has always had Spanish speakers. This is just more of the English Evangelical re-writing of US history.

Hang on, Sean… the Trump administration isn't letting anyone come into the country properly unless they're white South Afrikaners. How can people satisfy your Road Rules requirements?

Rules are fine, but ignoring the consequences is their M.O. Cut out 'illegal' drivers and now there's a shortage of drivers. Then everyone complains because their stuff is missing, and the economy tanks, but sure, fix the trucker issue.

Well there are tests both written and practical, this is not an immigration issue it is a testing one, improve the testing. Unfortunately you may get calls from privileged parents complaining that their genius child failed the test and there has to be some mistake.

Trumplethinskin's own mother was an immigrant. And he's been punishing women for it ever since. That and trying to make Daddy proud. They both disliked their child as much as the rest of the family.

The thing with regressive politics is that it will always narrow down who the preferred in-group is to protect the parasitic elite class. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would fall for these emasculated politics never mind want to live in a world they try to establish. Boring AF.

I’ve driven in many countries worldwide and couldn’t speak their language or even read street signs and had no problem. What’s the big deal—other than creating just another obstacle to immigrants?

So, people want fresh fruit and vegetables? Not going to happen if half of the people hauling them across the country can no longer drive.

Married to a Latina woman too, like all the white supremacist douches do. They sexually fetishize the races/ethnicities they claim are "inferior" and personally go about "whitening" them via marriage/procreation. Been like this since the colonial and plantation slavery days.
