George W. Bush is Mexico’s greatest president ever.

Just what America needs, tens of thousands more tractor trailers driven by people from the most corrupt country on earth.

Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’

Keep movin’, movin’, movin’,
Though they’re disapprovin’,
Keep them trucks movin’ Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em,
Just jamm’em and gear’em and clutch’em,
Soon we’ll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart’s calculatin’
My true love will be waitin’,
be waiting at the end of my ride.

Just wait until these Mexican drivers in there unsafe trucks start running over entire families, killing people by the dozens.

I recall one that flipped his tractor trailer spilling tons of cargo across 5 lanes of freeway, backing up traffic for 8 hours, in a 40 mile backup...And you know what this SOB did? He ran from the scene and was found hiding in a construction site. Drugs and weapons were found in the tractor.

The 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement approved broader access for ground shipments from both countries but the Clinton administration never complied with the trucking provision. A special tribunal ordered the Bush administration to do so in 2001.

If you’ve got a rig in the U.S. it’s value just become $0.10 cents.

The move to allow Mexican trucking in to the United States goes beyond what most people think of, just traveling to a destination and dumping a load. Once the truch is empty, these truckers will be able to reload in the U.S. and take that load back toward their border entry point.

There is also the possibility that they can simply begin service in the United States, seldom returning to where the truck is registered.

This may (I’m not firm on all the particulars) be an opening of the border for all intents and purposes as it applies to trucking.

Will Mexican trucking firms undercut all U.S. based truckers? Will those truckers suffer the same fates as manufacturing workers in the U.S.?

Time will tell.

I do not approve of the Mexican truckers being given access to our nation.

Every American killed by these Mexican trucks is a homicide committed by GWB and our government.

A one-year pilot program that was approved by Congress...

I wonder what kind of excuse these idiots will have when all the death and destruction caused by Mexican truck drivers becomes a daily news cycle?

Any inspection programs? I thought not.
Talk about an open door for terrorists?... Border fence?... No longer needed. Welcome to another third world outpost called the AU.

I work in logistics for Schneider National and I’ll be keeping my eye on this. Many of my carriers in the South may be impacted.

“Special Tribunal ordered...”

Anotherwords, we are not allowed self rule on this matter.

Another aspect of sovereignty just went up in smoke.

This is REAL bad news!!

For the unionists who are fearful of competition, no doubt it is.

For consumers, manufacturers, the retail industry, and the majority of Americans, having Mexican trucks on American highways will eventually be a great benefit. Just as having Mexican airliners flying to American airports is, and Mexican oil flowing to American refineries has been for many decades.

If, by chance, you just plain don't like Mexicans, just say so. We understand.

One way or another...The ruling elite have to wait to push their amnesty down our throats, and they will try it againn, making U.S. borders all but pointless...

So the next best thing is just open our borders to Mexican unsafe trucks that will have nothing but cargo's of trouble.

A tribunal from whom? Congress, Mexico, GHWB?

Unions my a$$.

We have these Mexicans smuggling in hundreds of tons of drugs EVERY YEAR, not to mention illegal human cargo by the tens of thousands...And Lord knows what else.

And suggest some American labor union is the problem?

Sheesh!
