"Having Mexican trucks roaming freely across this country is a tragedy waiting to happen."

No, no, that's what 'free' trade ala NAFTA and GATT is all about, taking Americans and lowering their standards all the way to the environmental, labor, and legal standards of the Third World. We're just being fair to the poor countries who can't afford to send their slave-labor-assembled products in trucks with brakes, or insurance, or experienced drivers, donchaknow?
