I think you DO need to draw a distinction between illegal and legal immigrants. No illegal should be issued any kind of license.
As far as legal immigrants go, they should be able to speak/read English proficiently and pass the same tests as US citizen truckers for their CDLs. No double standards should be allowed.

Yep foreigners have been coming in/invading this land called
North America ever since Columbus sailed in 1492. Now they
are still coming and enjoy the benefits or so is said.
