It's official: Mexican trucks coming

"Wouldn't it be nice to have politicians that placed the welfare of the United States ahead of other countries?"


You're asking for too much. Both the gutless and the nasties are lacking this quality.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Hey I know that place

I'll be there in Fresno next week

and for many pesossss

[LasVegasMac]

we are now using 15ppm ultra low sulpher diesel as part of the 2007 epa standards, the mexican fuel vendors are still using 500ppm fuel as the standards set forth in 1993, so the mexican trucks will be spewing excess oxides of nitrogen while ours won't be able to use their fuel without damaging the emissions equipment in our trucks

Ok, I'll play the ignorant part here....

And the EPA is where......?

All the emission laws we have, in every state.....

lemme guess....don't apply...?

[353FMG]

"Had this been a Mexican truck, driven by a Mexican national, what would she have received?"

A fistful of pesos?

Here, read this unAmerican,antithesis of Republican government called the Summit of the Americas. Early on the participants of the Summit of the Americas, not your neighbors and mine in American counties and states, set the directives for our government to follow.

****

11. Hemispheric Infrastructure

Go Back to Summit of the Americas Plan of Action Contents

Development in this Hemisphere depends on urgent infrastructure measures, including the priority allocation of financial resources, in accordance with national legislation and with the participation of both the public and private sectors. Strengthening the flow of private productive capital to economically and environmentally sound projects has become increasingly vital to countries throughout the Hemisphere as the growth of official sources of capital has failed to keep pace with the area's needs.

Governments will:

Charge multilateral development banks to work with governments and, as appropriate, private concerns, to develop mechanisms to deal with lending and investment issues.

Draw on other regional and sub-regional experiences within the Hemisphere to support infrastructure development.

Governments that so wish will develop suitable mechanisms, including multilateral and bilateral commitments on regulatory and legal rules and practices, to encourage private investment, both domestic and foreign, in national and transboundary infrastructure projects.

********

Now how does a Republic function when these ministerials are directing the government outside of Constitutional avenues, like citizen initiatives through county and state and federal governments.

This document says our government is supposed to encourage foreign investment in our infrastructure. Gee, is this where Texas traitor Rick Perry gets his plan for the trans-Texas corridor? How about all the other infrastructure projects being 'sold' to foreign corporations and countries? Its awfully coincidental that these plans never existed before governments were directed by these 'ministerials' to do so.

"Our elected officials aren't making any decisions. They leave that up to the secretive business councils.."


They will only start making decisions if they or a member of their family gets run over by one of these trucks.

[old republic]

Imagine the potential for truckers to smuggle in illegal aliens. This is going to destroy the culture of the United States and she is going to lose her sovereignty. On top of it NAFTA should have been treated as a treaty because a treaty is defined as :

a : an agreement or arrangement made by negotiation: (1) : PRIVATE TREATY (2) : a contract in writing between two or more political authorities (as states or sovereigns) formally signed by representatives duly authorized and usually ratified by the lawmaking authority of the state b : a document in which such a contract is set down

However, because big business lobby didn't want to deal with a 2/3 majority needed to ratify a treaty in the Senate, Congress chose to treat as if it were normal legislation. The enforcement of this legislation should be immediately suspended and the laws should be repealed or overturned on consitutional grounds. Too bad our president doesn't care about US sovereignty or culture.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Careful now you'll start thinking in commonsense terms

the emissions that every American has to adhere to are being waived under who's authority? dunno

they don't have a background check database but but

they don't have a minimum safety standards regulation but but

I guess since we are getting background checks for our hazmat endorsements then getting another background check to come and go into our own ports we'll just trust that the mexican government is doing the same even though they don't have a database

feeling secure about your homeland yet?

it gets WAY worse...

Another article in the San Diego Union Tribune on the Mexican trucks are coming.
Where are the Eco-WackOs.

[old republic]

This is constitutionally subversive and at the least a dangerous precedent to set. All agreements laws and treaties made in contradiction to the Constitution of the United States are null and void. Its too bad no one will wake up to this before the damage is already done. The longer it is allowed to continue, the more people will think that it is normal.

[hedgetrimmer]

This is constitutionally subversive and at the least a dangerous precedent to set.

Thank you for pointing this out.

"This decision was made by our elected officials. We are a Republic.

Do you have a problem with that?"

I do, I have a problem with any elected official doing what he or she wants to do in violation of the Law. If it had been done properly, there would be no reason for the Congress to hold hearings. It seems to me that the only ones who have any idea of this is the administration.

[combat_boots]

Well, here it is: http://www.fina-nafi.org/eng/fina/presentation.asp?count=eng

A N. Am. Parliament idea.

Also see http://angelsfortruth.com/North%20American%20Union.html

for a grand look at the N Am security BS.

What then can we do?

[TheLion]

"Do you have a problem with that?"

I've certainly got a problem with it. It must be one of the dumbest decisions made by this administration.

[combat_boots]

From the article by J Corsi at Angelsfortruth: Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.

As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming “North American Union” that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.

If you are addressing my comment, do it fairly.

Do you oppose our Representative form of government and favor a true Democracy?

[combat_boots]

I for one believe we have lost the Republic. The buying and selling of America to foreign bidders atarted a long time ago, say, by 1920 anyway. FDR secured it. Johnson moved it forward.

With the corruption in DC so overpowering it's nauseating, I suppose this is a national political pastime.

When jackboots can take a boy out of his relatives arms and send him home to a communist papa, or, to anywhere else for that matter, without public standing those men down, Paul Revere and Ben Franklin are names in a book, not icons to live up to.

Clinton, though, was our Caligula. Hillary is our Nero. She'll burn us to bits.

This is just my 2 cents, and I do hear your differentiation.

[Leatherneck_MT]

I answered your post as fairly as I could.

Yes I do support our Republic. I spent most of my adult life defending the very Constitution it rests on.

What I said, and I reiterate, the administration has ignored our borders and violated the sanctity of our Country and our Constitution by continuing to allow unfettered access to our country by Illegal Aliens. This is not merely a jobs issue. This is a National Security issue. One that our Government is going to continue to ignore and overlook right up until the time that some terrorist group sneaks a nuke across that border (if they haven't done so already) and detonates it in one of our Cities.

This "North American Union" is treason in it's highest form, IF half of what is being said about it is true.

Our truckers don't get half of the lattitude these Mexican drivers will, and I assure you, sooner or later one of these vehicles is going to be dragging something far more sinister than lettuce across that border.

[Doe Eyes]

I share your disappointment. I never thought I would live in an America that relies upon the Peoples Republic of China to finance our war on terrorism.

[sockmonkey]

Notice that U.S. operators will run in Mexico LATER.

I work part time for a truck driver. I can assure you that when he's sitting in Laredo, TX waiting for a load to haul up north, he has no desire to ever take a load from the US into Mexico.
