Commercial licensing system portrayed as unsafe due to immigration status and language barriers
The repeated emphasis on the driver’s alleged lack of English proficiency and connection to a fatal crash frames the licensing of noncitizens as a direct threat to public safety, especially with the loaded image of an '80,000-pound tractor-trailer' driven by someone who 'cannot read English road signs'.
“Justice Thomas wrote that Florida had asked to bring the lawsuit against states for “defying federal law by providing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who cannot read English.””
