Court: Mexican trucks program to proceed (9th Circus says 'Let 'em roll!')

SAN FRANCISCO - The Bush administration can go ahead with a pilot program to allow as many as 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere within the U.S. for the next year, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request made by the Teamsters union, the Sierra Club and the nonprofit Public Citizen to halt the program.

The appeals court ruled the groups have not satisfied the legal requirements to immediately stop what the government is calling a "demonstration project," but can continue to argue their case.

The trucking program is scheduled to begin Thursday.

In court papers filed earlier this week, the Teamsters and Sierra Club argued there won't be enough oversight of the drivers coming into the U.S. from Mexico.

They also argued that public safety would be endangered in a hasty attempt by the government to comply with parts of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The trade agreement requires that all roads in the United States, Mexico and Canada to be opened to carriers from all three countries.

Canadian trucking companies have full access to U.S. roads, but Mexican trucks can only travel about 20 miles inside the country at certain border crossings such as ones in San Diego and El Paso, Texas.

Yes, I like him, too. He is working fast and furious it seems to get this NAU/globalist agenda stopped.

Which is a reason he isn’t even on my radar as president. I’ll never vote away my country, I don’t care what letter is behind their name.

I want the train derailed. As it stands right now, it’s Bush’s.

Those already in office have shown their true globalist stripes.

Time for a new broom to be brought in and sweep them away.

Hunter’s got the longest and deepest record in this area for sure. That speaks volumes for him.

Seeing as it’s the weekend, there’s likely some free-traders/open-boarders that work against our sovereignty while ‘on the clock’, so they’ll show up tomorrow. They will have to recognize a rule of reading the entire thread before posting and expecting responses :) Sounds fair enough to me (lol)

And me as well. However, I don’t expect that they will. Globalists think rules of any kind apply to all else but them (etiquette or otherwise).

"We’re not afraid of globalization. It works to our benefit. We innovate more and invest in that innovation better than anywhere else in the world. Same thing goes for services. Free trade and market economies have done more for freedom and prosperity than a central planner could ever dream and we’re the world’s best example of that."

~ Fred Thompson, 2006 ~ Member of the globalist entity, Council on Foreign Relations

That's a good find. In his statement, Fred is telling me that he is ignorant of what is going on in the real world. Notice that he didn't address the $800b trade imbalance and how that plays out in our labor markets, and how it drives the relentless push to sell control or ownership of ever more of our infrastructure to foreign interest.

Also, notice how he pits "free trade and market economies" against central planning as if those were our only two options, as if markets automatically crossed borders, as if borders have no meaning. I'm not a fan of Fred, and don't see myself voting for him.

Good points. Globalists conveniently leave things out to paint their pictures.

Good post on the CAFTA vote. We had them up against the wall and they were just barely able to pull out a victory, using ever bit of skulduggery in the book. We are even stronger now.

The Inspector General for DOT says the inspections aren’t where they need to be, so why anyone would push this forward is beyond reason.
