No, it would not be a shitshow. That's just your assumption.
Do you think I could not pass that test?

For the US to institute a language standard, we'd first have to agree on an official language at the federal level.

Assuming English is the language, CEFR B2 is roughly 75 in TOEFL, such a low standard that community colleges would think twice before admitting such internationals students. In reality H1B tech workers easily blows 100+.
