Court: Mexican trucks program to proceed (9th Circus says 'Let 'em roll!')

SAN FRANCISCO - The Bush administration can go ahead with a pilot program to allow as many as 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere within the U.S. for the next year, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request made by the Teamsters union, the Sierra Club and the nonprofit Public Citizen to halt the program.

The appeals court ruled the groups have not satisfied the legal requirements to immediately stop what the government is calling a "demonstration project," but can continue to argue their case.

The trucking program is scheduled to begin Thursday.

In court papers filed earlier this week, the Teamsters and Sierra Club argued there won't be enough oversight of the drivers coming into the U.S. from Mexico.

They also argued that public safety would be endangered in a hasty attempt by the government to comply with parts of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The trade agreement requires that all roads in the United States, Mexico and Canada to be opened to carriers from all three countries.

Canadian trucking companies have full access to U.S. roads, but Mexican trucks can only travel about 20 miles inside the country at certain border crossings such as ones in San Diego and El Paso, Texas.

A very chilling passage in the article:

This translates to 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally per day. The 1500 offenders in this study had a total of 5,999 victims. Each sex offender averaged 4 victims. This places the estimate for victimization numbers around 960,000 for the 88 months examined in this study.

Per day. Good God have mercy on us and our children and grandchildren.

I was just on another thread reading where a 3 year old little girl was raped by her uncle.

Wanna guess if he was legal? Wanna guess if this was his first time?

Check out the Chapter below as well as Chapter XI if you get time. Let’s say the SPP, which in substance is already incorporated within the Organization of American States gets canned. Many will say, yea!!! We won. Now imagine this scenario: One Leader asks the other leader “Do they know we still have treaties with the OAS?” The other leader says “Shhhhhhhhh. No, and that’s what we want. This loss for us meant nothing. The train is still rolling, we’re fine”.

I can see that scenario playing out :)

Chapter VIII

10 years ago we moved into a country club neighborhood thinking we would be safe from encroachment.

I can't believe it!! That is crazy! No place left to run, although after our countries have merged, I'm thinking the Yukon...

All American towns and cities either are or will become as you just described....that is why it’s critical to get this garbage one world agenda stopped.

It is interesting... present company (you two and the others posting right now) excluded, how we fought these wars for years, trying to warn people. Just here, in two or three years, how things have changed as people who were "safe" before now see their towns ruined.

I wish I had been proven wrong - it would have been easier to contain if it had just stayed in the borderlands, but it's an unstoppable tidal wave. We've been abandoned by all but each other.

Lol. I do love the Yukon and parts of B.C., but maybe it’s better to remember it pre-invasion days. I’ve heard some good things about parts of Central America, and I figure if I am going to live in a bilingual country and support the criminals to this degree, I may as well go live in the heart of it. I can probably have a better quality of life there! We can’t leave right now, but are keeping an eye and ear out.

Me too, I have been preaching about this for many years. I was run out of my hometown way before ‘talking’ about it became fashionable.
My friends used to just shake their heads at me and say....don’t get her started. Now they talk the loudest and I just tell them.....too bad you didn’t care about this when there was still time to stop it, now all you can do is run.

Whoops - I just re-read my post 450. I was blundering around trying to say - I know you two and the others posting right now have been aware of the problems for years and been fighting the wars. I was talking about others, in general, who are just waking up. /bleck, can’t think straight today.

Right now it’s (according to the WH Press Release Fri.) in the DOT’s lap. They’re latest web-site news update was Febuary, so I doubt they’ll be posting any notices (lol)

You know... I feel callous and cold at times now when I see threads about people complaining in overrun towns. Just like you said, where were they before illegal immigration became a hot topic???

Some of us stood and took bullets to show that a person doesn't melt when falsely accused - it's only names and names don't hurt. Too many believed the media and political lies and now we all are paying for that.

I’m sorry! Whenever I start talking about “present company excluded,” I get myself into trouble. My excuse is that English was my second language (it was). I don’t think any of us posting here this morning are just waking up to the invasion. And good for those who are, but it might just be too late to save the country unless even more wake up TODAY.

For now. One if these days their fences are going to be scaled and their mansion over-ran. Can't say I'll be sorry when that happens. Payback is a Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket and karma is an equalizer.
