The Teamsters Union on Wednesday asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop the program, which could go into effect as early as Saturday.
The union argues that the administration plan, which would let as many as 100 registered Mexican trucks deliver their cargo anywhere in the country for the next year as part of a "demonstration program," would endanger public highways because safety issues have not been resolved.
But in its filing Thursday, government lawyers said the trucks enrolled in the program meet U.S. trucking regulations and the program is a necessary part of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
"Participating Mexican carriers must comply with all legal requirements governing operations of domestically owned carriers, and in some cases stricter requirements,"

So, will these cargo trucks be loaded with illegal aliens or Muslim terrorists or both?

“...necessary part of the North American Free Trade Agreement.”
So Great! Cancel out NAFTA, and get back to the drawing board. We don’t need open borders for Free Trade other than bodies, bugs, and BS.

If it is bad for America I am sure the 9th circus court of appeals will be for it.

The Bush administration argued that (to ban Mexican trucks) could strain diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Mexico.

This country of ours should tell Mexico that, until they control their border, we don’t care about diplomatic relations.

Bush is a wage depresser. IN code words he, like Gov. Perry, calls this “growth.”

Considering most liberals are Globalists, and most Globalists are really liberals.....the 9th Jerkit Court of Schlmeels will rule in favor of Bush on this one.
Globalism is liberalism on steroids. Why do you think the Commies were so big on making Communism international?

I really don’t get this. I’ve supported Bush 100% in this war against a fascist belief (WOT) and then he turns around and leaves the back door wide open. This has to be deliberate. Someone, please explain.
