More than 100 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have written to President Bush, asking him why the Department of Transportation apparently is ignoring what the legislators want.
The issue was raised by U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who circulated the letter dealing with plans to hurry along with a "demonstration" project to allow Mexican truckers access to U.S. roads. Specifically, the letter raised concerns about federal agency actions – apparently despite what Congress wrote into the law.
"The U.S. Congress and the American people seriously question the ability of Mexican motor carriers and drivers to adhere to our country's strict safety rules, as well as the administration's preparedness and willingness to ensure Mexican truck drivers obey our homeland security and immigration rules," said the letter.
"As such, Congress mobilized to speak against it. Congress had already passed H.R. 1773, the 'Safe American Roads Act of 2007,' which passed overwhelmingly 411-3, and related language in P.L. 110-28, the FY07 supplemental appropriations act. Both pieces of legislation provided strict measures to ensure that the Department of Transportation and the pilot program would adhere to security guidelines and that an independent panel would assess their progress in ensuring American safety," the letter continued.

One remarkable aspect of this story is that the Mexican police didn’t divide up the $207 million.
Nice devolve!

I'm more sick of U.S. traitors.
Let them "free enterprise" in THEIR OWN COUNTRY, not ours!
The Mexicans don't seem to be able to do anything on their own, they must first feed off America.
hehehe
Exactly! Why don't they stay down in their own country AND FIX IT????
That's what this is all about, 30 pieces of silver and an NAU.
And, this government is putting American lives at risk by having people driving in our country who 1) can't read English signs; 2) are not driving trucks which meet safety standards; 3) have not had background checks or their cargoes checked to ensure that criminal THUGS, gangs, rapists, drug dealers aren't in their trucks. Their trucks will be "checked" on "sovereign Mexican soil within the U.S."
yes!
bttt!
Sure seems to...
When he's run over?
bumping that (and Happy 4th, unspun).
In fact, with open borders it is impossible to prevent such attacks.
There's an elephant in this room that no one can people refuse to see.
Just my opinion.
Unfortunately, you're 100% correct.
