senate 11/06/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to ensure that all drivers on federally contracted rideshare services can communicate effectively in English to promote safety, clear communication with the public and officials, and proper understanding of traffic regulations. This legislation also includes necessary qualifications like valid licenses and road tests to maintain high standards for these services.

They say English proficiency is ‘safety,’ but really it’s just another way to kick working-class immigrants to the curb. We don’t need gatekeepers, we need equal opportunity.

Sure, communication’s key—but are we solving problems or building new walls? Let’s balance safety with inclusion, not just draw lines in the sand.

If drivers can’t understand traffic signs, that’s a problem. But if they can, should we really care if their English isn’t perfect? Common sense beats arbitrary rules.

Is this the ‘Understanding Basic English Requirements Act’ or the ‘Let’s Make It Harder for Immigrants to Work Act’? Because two don’t rhyme, and neither do fairness and prejudice.

Language skills are important, but let’s avoid turning federal contracts into language police. Practical standards, not paperwork hurdles, should steer policy.

English-only requirements in 2025? Next stop: banning chocolate chip cookies in public schools. Diversity is America’s real driver, not your selective language tests.

If you want to play in the national sandbox, you better speak the language. It’s not about exclusion, it’s about cohesion and safety.

No English, no ride-share contract. Simple as that. We’re not running a language daycare; we’re running a transportation system.

English is the glue that holds our roads—and our country—together. This bill is common sense, not cultural policing.
