Implementing the plan would quell growing dissent among U.S. businesses that are hurt by Mexico's tariffs and that continue to besiege Washington with claims that doing nothing will result in job losses. The tariffs were imposed as retaliation for legislation enacted in March that took Mexican trucks off American highways, despite the North American Free Trade Agreement's program to let them into the United States.

Whats worse? That they are back to giving trucks from Mexico free reign in America or that we sit back and allow them to apply a tariff because we won't allow their trucks in our country.

What difference does it make? There are hundreds of Mexican-owned trucks that have been moved across the border and registered by the Department of Transportation. The owners paint over the Mexican info on sides of trucks and add the DOT number, get some US plates, and off you go.
