Up until a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2004 (I believe), Mexican trucks were allowed to operate in a 20 mile (I believe) buffer zone next to the border.

I lost track of the issue since, but the Supreme Court ruling allows Mexican trucks into the interior of the U.S. That is still a far cry from performing the same task as our gypsy independents. The various special-interest groups aligned against the issue were the unions and the Greens. I remember being bombarded in 2004 with their propaganda in the press ("allowed to operate," sounds sinister doesn't it?--Mexicans will be doing the Detroit-Chicago run!). Don't fall for it.

I'll worry about it when Lou Dobbs starts shrieking about the latest form of invasion. I figure it'll happen when enough corporate suits find a way to use it to make a biiiiig profit.
