>The Wyoming Highway Patrol voiced its official support Tuesday in Casper for a state-level law decommissioning non-English proficient commercial truck drivers. As a result, the legislative Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Committee asked its staffers to draft a bill that would expand Wyoming Highway Patrol inspectors’ current enforcement of federal English proficiency regulations to all law enforcement agents in the state – and that would add other state-level penalties for truckers still driving after being pulled from the roads for non-English proficiency.
When the Wyoming Highway Patrol took a stand on the issue at the committee’s Tuesday meeting, its top officials referenced a recent crash in Florida on Aug. 12 that killed three people after a driver took an illegal U-turn. The driver, who had CDL’s from Washington and California, failed an English proficiency exam after the crash, according to the U.S. Transportation Department.

Like the Pennsylvania Dutch? I get your point though. We live in a different time. So many come here and do not worry about, or care to be "American". 180° opposite fro. WWI, not so long ago.

I have met Pennsylvania Dutch, are there a lot of them that can't speak/understand even basic English? I never lived in the area but have family that does and have for a very long time and they never seemed to have trouble speaking English with them?
