I skipped through some of the video and saw the part of them wearing hidden video equipment as they are taking the written test while someone in the parking lot gives them the answers.

Did you watch it?

The White House, under President Trump’s second administration, is dealing with foreign drivers primarily by emphasizing and enforcing English proficiency for commercial vehicle operators to enhance roadway safety and by restricting certain types of visas and taking action against potential threats.

Recent actions include an executive order directing the strict enforcement of English language requirements for truck drivers, a pause on work visas for foreign commercial drivers, and a broader policy of “continuous vetting” for foreign visa holders to identify and revoke visas for those posing public safety or national security risks, including those with ties to terrorism or visa overstays.

Enforcement of English Proficiency for Commercial Drivers
Executive Order: President Trump signed an executive order in April 2025 to ensure commercial drivers are proficient in English, a policy that had not been strictly enforced in previous years.

Out-of-Service Status:
Drivers unable to demonstrate sufficient English skills may be placed “out-of-service,” preventing them from operating commercial vehicles.

The administration cites public safety as the main reason, stating that English proficiency is crucial for responding to emergencies, following traffic laws, and operating vehicles safely on U.S. roads.
Broader Actions on Foreign Nationals

Visa Revocations:
The U.S. is reviewing millions of visa holders, including 55 million in a current review, to assess and revoke visas for violations of entry or stay conditions, including overstays, criminal activity, and threats to public safety.

Social Media Vetting:
Prospective students and visitors may face social media vetting to identify any hostility toward the U.S. or its principles.

Country-Specific Restrictions:
In June 2025, the White House announced restrictions on nationals from certain countries that have inadequate screening processes, high visa overstay rates, or lack cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities.

“Continuous Vetting”:
This state department initiative involves ongoing review of visa holders to identify potential threats to national security or public safety.
