This article or a article similar to it has been posted already. But I will repost my comments below from this earlier thread in case this one is a bit different and stays up for people's comments, as opposed to being shut down. My apologies to those that already read them.

You think Hoffa is offensive . . . I was down in San Diego this last week and saw a Mexican Semi on the freeway going north. How did I know? License Plate--clearly south of the border (name was a town in Mexico and not a U.S. license plate). The vehicle was walled with advertisements on its four sides all in Spanish (similar to a U.S. semi that is all advertising.). The distinguishing feature here was it was all in Spanish.

The real offensive part and to me this is signature, the metal all over the vehicle was rusted and some parts clearly gone from being eaten by rust. It did not look safe and well maintained. If one saw this thing next to them on the road the foreign language advertising alone would piss them off, now if this driver was on meth or drunk, all I can say is ladies and gentlemen you think illegals on the street corners are bad, just wait till their trucks are on your freeways. God help us. Welcome to Amexico.

Hoffa is right about the timing. I might also add it is offensive to all Americans that pay taxes for safe roads and regulatory commission that are supposed to be there to protect us--HA!. That is where Hoff and his ilk are out of it. They think government is their nipple and protector. All of this south of the border invasion has shown us all what a complete and utter lie that is.

Why aren't the conservatives out protesting this. Just wait 'til you see 'em barrelling down the road next to you and your family. You are going to wish you had lined up at the border and used anything for a barracade.

If you were down by the “Commercial zone” which by the way is an imaginary thing in itself, I have no doubts you were shaking your head wondering how the hell a truck like that would be allowed on a public street.

those cross border POS’ run back and forth and have for the thirty some years I’ve been in the business.

they are a nuisance to locals but are not what is at stake here

we recently converted to ULSD ultra low sulpher diesel which isn’t sold in Mexico so there is an environmental factor

if a cop pulls over and runs a Mexican drivers license he won’t be able to validate it or the drivers status because there is no database in which to check

the mexican drivers have no hard outlined hours of service regs so if he crosses the border and starts a log with a fresh shift there’s no telling if he hasn't run for the last 24 hours straight from say mexico city

or if he has that he’s not loaded on coke or crank or some other drug because they have no certified drug testing labs to check

the mexican states have no way to database between each other let alone anything usable for our law enforcement to use

and that only brushes the surface of them moving around, it doesn't even begin to cover the labor or wage aspects...
