Wow. I have to say that I am more inclined to agree with our dem house than I am with our “republican” president.
Duncan Hunter was leading this charge. I see the dems wisely coopted it.
What was Duncan Hunter’s HR number again? He authored a resolution to force Mexican transport carriers comply with the same rules and regulations as domestic transport must follow. I don’t know where the resolution ended up, do you know?
Full inspection of the contents also? Most Mexican truckers also disconnect the front brakes on their trucks. They do this so they can still steer the truck if they lock up the brakes. They may not be able to stop, but they can sure as hell steer. Something wrong with this logic.
Does the senate have anything to say about this?
Also this is just one more thing I fail to understand the president on.
Illegals allowing them to stay, spending way too much, closing our borders, a lack of hitting Iran and Syria with large heavy weapons etc.
The only ones for these NAFTA requirements are GW & his little adopted brother, Bubba & their New World Order pals.
Maybe politicial eyes are opening.
Certainly, if the Dems want to retain control of the House in 08, they are not going to rush through a Senate Comprehensive Immigration bill similar to the monstrosity from last session.
The state of Oklahoma passed a restrictive bill last week illegals.
The city of Farmer’s Branch, TX passed a bill last week retricting illegals.
The state of Texas voted to delay the SuperHighway for up to two years for further study.
Nearly a dozen states have legislation under consideration that could impact Bush’s SSP, NAU, SuperTranshighway.
Now, today, the House votes to delay Bush’s wanting to allow Mexican trucks free reign on our highways.
Maybe the message is finally getting through to the elected on Capitol Hill.
here ya go.. HR 1756 it seems .. this is pretty close to his earlier proposed pegislation.

When considering H.R. 1773, several members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, including the panel’s Chairman, noted the legislation “borrowed heavily” from H.R. 1756, the NAFTA Trucking Safety Act, introduced by Congressman Hunter. Specially, H.R. 1773:
· Limits the Department of Transportation (DoT) from granting authority to Mexican motor carriers to operate beyond commercial zones along the border;
· Provides guidelines DoT must follow before the implementation of a pilot program, including those outlined in section 350 of P.L. 107-87, which can only be certified by the DoT Inspector General;
· Requires that a detailed description of the pilot program be published in the Federal Register, including the enactment and enforcement of English proficiency standards;
· Requires the DoT Inspector General monitor and review the pilot program and provide a full report to Congress.
H.R. 1773 presently awaits consideration by the Full House.
How does one join the “New World Order?”
Good job Mr. Hunter!
This whole NAFTA thing drives me nutz!
Thank you for the link, NR. I couldn’t remember if it was 1576 or 1756.
Amen!
In this case I agree with the dems.... once in a great while it happens.
It's not a club you can voluntarily choose to join. You have to to either be born into it or tapped to join by those on the inside. And to be tapped almost always requires attending one of the elite Ivy League institutions, or a rough equivalent.
According to Wikipedia, the NWO disbanded in July 2002.
Not to be confused with NWA, which disbanded in 1991. ;-)
Finally someone in DC has listened to the people’s concerns and actually acted.
DC is too quick to give away good American jobs in exchage for low paying foreign replacements. That is absolutely no help to our economy when a fair wage is replaced by a minimum wage for the same work.
