Since the US labor market is already cheapened by illegals how long before US trucking companies will no longer hire Americans? Only a matter of time before the majority of the truck drivers in this country are from south of the border.
Do you think fortress America can survive by itself?
Of course after we do this, everyone else will reciprocate when we want to export our products.
I can't agree more!
Who better to have as allies than your neighbors.
Somehow I don’t think this will be overturned.
“Great! How many more illegals can we fit in?”
we are about to find out!
“Do you think fortress America can survive by itself?”
I was waiting for someone to throw that one the table. Let’s bring the United States of America to it’s knees through liberalism, open boarders and free trade and then show them that they have no choice but to unify with Mexico and the South Americas (lol) I’m not even going to answer the question. I was just wondering why it took this long to see that question asked. You make a predictable, yet disgusting argument.
“What would make him think differently is if he spent a week around Pacoima, Van Nuys, Panorama City or North Hollywood incognito. Ann Coulter says they are an example of Bush’s roach motels.”
They are now all ghettos!!
Well do you?
With the status quo...not a chance.

You ought to see the super structure cargo ship coming into the Port of Long Beach. Loaded down deep below the water line. Most go back empty, or with scrap metal etc.
“This trucking is being opened so that Canadian and Mexican Trucking can get their goods to market faster and cheaper.
This means prices on food and household goods can go down.”
B S !
When illegals took over the construction trades, did the price of homes go down? What about the tens of thousands of Americans who lost their construction jobs to quasi-slave illegal labor? They don’t matter?
Yep!
Anyone that says allowing tens of thousands of unsafe Mexican trucks, from one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, into the U.S. is a good thing, has a motive.
We know what the communist and radical leftist motives are.
Others? Profits, regardless of consequences.
What would you have "fortress America" do to survive?
I'll make it simple for you. I believe we need our neighbors to the south. We need them for their resources and as a trading partner. The more their economy is dependent upon us the better it is for us to influence their internal politics.
The worst thing that has happened to them is illegal immigration into our country. The areas that have the largest number of illegals sending money back home have the least amount of development. The pressure to change in those areas is relieved because the youth have left and money is coming in to pay for necessities.
We will all be better off if we find a way to do business together out in the open.
Otho, the mental picture of a Mexican from Mexico trying to drive a loaded rig on the ice road is too much.
Why is that?
Is it because our cost of labor is so high we can't compete? Is it because these other countries don't open their markets to our products? Who suffers from the restricted market?
More proof (as if any were needed) that the Left if defined by ony one thing - their hatred for traditional America.
They could care less about the environmnent, womens rights, the whales, etc etc. They live only to poke their finger in our eye.

Thanks for saving me a couple of key strokes. You, your kind, your ilk, your like-minded citizens have won. Why are you still chirping? (lol) What is it about Victory that you’re not comfortable with?
