What is Mexico waitng on,.....mordidas?
Remember when the clinton administration was selling the NAFTA bill of goods? They said if NAFTA passed it would solve the illegal immigration problem as they would all have jobs in their own country. Worked really well, didn’t it?

Roadblocks for Mexican trucks in U.S. (Duncan Hunter - NAFTA Trucking Safety Act)
Waiting is good sometimes.
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
I wonder what the ratio is in actual trucks. I suspect the American companies have a lot more trucks per company.
This effort could result in some significant savings. It is kind of pointless to have to ship goods to the border only to have them reloaded on a different truck that can operate in the other country.
I would however place some minimal language requirements on the commercial drivers. I spent two weeks in rural parts of Mexico last month, and even though I only know a handful of words in Spanish, I usually didn't have a lot of problems communicating basic things. However, if I needed to stop for directions I'd have been in serious trouble if it weren't for the other people on the trip that spoke more Spanish.
On an interesting side note, did you know that apparently due to some agricultural regulations your vehicle can be refused reentry into the United States if it has too much mud caked on it? US Customs actually made us drive back across the Rio Grande into Mexico to get our truck washed before they would allow us into the United States. They did also make us take some of the things out of the back and let them search through them. To be hones, the truck was really did have a pretty thick layer of mud on the sides.
I was on jury duty the week of 12/11/06 and one of my fellow jurors told me that her nephew was killed a year earlier by two illegals DRIVING their truck with FAULTY BRAKES to the BRAKE SHOP to be repaired when – surprise, surprise — the BRAKES FAILED AND THEY KILLED HER NEPHEW. I guess these MORONS thought they were back in Mexico where – in addition to driving DRUNK — they and their idiot friends do crap like that all the time. Can you say “Tijuana Taxi?” Can you say “TOW TRUCK?”
The driver got 4 years in prison and will be deported when he gets out.
Gotta wonder how long it will take him to sneak back in and kill someone else?
The stats indicate they are killing 12 American citizens each week, either with cars or via other criminal activity.
I can’t wait until the interstates start filling up with Mexican truckers on tight deadlines – and I do mean DEADlines – hurtling at carloads of unsuspecting native-born American citizens – all 387 of us.
Do you suppose this crap might stop if one of Bush’s daughters became a victim?
Of course, unlike the rest of us, they are driven to their endless round of parties by an armed SS detail, which eliminates the risk that they will be tempted to drive drunk themselves.

I'm SURE they will not become an instant medium to transport invader aliens or drugs.
Nope, nuthin' but good ole Wal Mart crap from China in those containers.
(Of course if they 'only' carry legimate cargoes of Chinese wares directly from Mexican ports to our Wal Marts, the only people destroyed will be American blue collar longshoreman and truckers, so no big deal, right Jorge Bush?)
