Democrats Defend Non-English Truckers as Safety Questions Grow

Quote
Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer stood on stage during the recent gubernatorial debate in San Francisco, where moderators pressed them on whether California Highway Patrol officers should enforce English proficiency requirements for commercial truck drivers.

Becerra pushed back and framed the question through race—of course he did—and asked whether officials would test every driver or focus on drivers who look like him, then labeled enforcement reckless.

Porter followed with a similar line, accusing Chad Bianco of backing racial profiling by supporting enforcement.
Bianco, who serves as Riverside County sheriff, answered directly, saying Californians are tired of leaders who reduce every policy to race.

Steve Hilton, a Republican candidate, backed stricter standards and said driver licenses shouldn't go to people in the country illegally and who can't meet basic English requirements.

Many real-life highway and street signs are much more complex than just "Stop" or "Yield", but these race-ideologues are too racist to worry about safety on CA freeways and streets.

getting a driver's license is a privilege, not a right.

If you don't meet the requirements to get a license (such as understanding English) then you lose that privilege regardless of your race, color, gender or religious beliefs

This issue shows how blind and illogical liberals are, how beholden they are to racial division, and how they have no answer to anything but...   :racist:

Thinking someone should be allowed to drive a commercial truck that weighs hundreds of tons on highways and streets but not be able to read the highway and street signs that are in English, endangering themselves, other drivers and their cargo and your argument to support this idea is that it's somehow racist not to allow such an insane danger to public safety is negative IQ territory.

It's the Democrat way. Regulate everything, except who's allowed to live and work in the country, or whether they have know how to follow traffic laws, or, in the case of "daycare centers", whether they have to follow vaccine requirements or other safety guidleines.

IIEC, about a year ago there was a fatal accident in Riverside County, where Chad Bianco is sheriff. The accident was caused by an Indian (Asian) who was not literate in English. IOW, it's professionally personal to Bianco.
