“I merely pointed out the obvious: that the unionists will consider this order bad news, as they don’t like competition.”
Unions look out for their members, the truckers themselves, not the trucking companies. It’s the jobs that are at issue, not company profits. The companies will probably prosper from this. Truckers cannot compete with those who will drive for much lower pay. Ask the roofers about that.
I’m concerned not only about their driving dangers of these truck drivers but what’s inside the trucks????!!!!
They could carry a nuclear bomb into our country and who would know it?
This greatly concerns me, especially with all the talk of Al Qaeda in South America.
Bad. Bad. Idea!!
Thanks, I added it to my home page.
“What’s your real motive here? Profits regardless of consequences?”
That is the way I see it.
"Transportation services that insure your success HAS NO BORDERS"
Ferrocarril Mexicano is the largest railroad company in Mexico and owns Texas Pacifico Transportation (TXPF), which has some 350+ miles of track basically in west Texas. They also own some other short line tracks and those engines maybe associated with them. I don’t know that,it’s just a guess.
Oh, that's OK. Mexican truck drivers, like most illegals, will simply run away from the accidents they cause. The drive-by media will cooperate by reporting that "the cause of the accident is undetermined..."
“The companies will probably prosper from this. Truckers cannot compete with those who will drive for much lower pay. Ask the roofers about that.”
Not just roofers. Now the entire construction trade has been
taken over by illegals. The homebuilding industry is one of
the biggest proponents of illegal immigration/amnety.
Citizens do have that right.
I suspect there are citizens (like as in "Public Citizen") who would prefer a gummint bureaucracy take over that responsibility, as many already have. FDA, FTA, FAA, FCC, FDIC, need I go on?
How about a Federal Licensing And Safety Inspection Department for Mexican Trucks on US Highways? FLASIDMTUSH might be too long for civilian use, but the Navy would like it, as would Ralph Nader.
Well of course. Mexico and Mexican officials are the most corrupt on earth. They can be bribed with beer and cheap prostitutes.
We're at war, and our borders are wide open, and now we're going to legally allow tens of thousands of their unsafe trucks to enter our country??? This is security?
You know anyone involved in any real national security must be shaking their heads in amazement.
Common sense has been turned on it head.
It explains exactly where we are at this point of our history.
You said: Drive your truck across the border...abandon it and infiltrate into the country. Couldnt be much simpler, could it?
I say: Yes, and the load of illegal immigrants, illegal drugs and illegal weapons as you can put in a semi truck, also.
Clearly.
LOL. I don't work for the trucking company itself, I work for Logistics. We deal with dozens of different carriers. Schneider itself is just another carrier to us.
And Schneider being in Mexico is no different than Wal-Mart having stores in Mexico.
Honestly, dragnet2, I cannot believe this is happening. And why does the Ninth Circuit Court get to decide? That’s the worst commie court in the land.
Not to mention the proportional number of deaths at the hands of Mexicans who can’t drive worth a crap.
>>The homebuilding industry is one of

I have noticed that every single hotel/motel (no exceptions) accross the country has only spanish speaking employees in their housekeeping department.
I even thought of having notes printed up so I wouldn’t have to keep writing:
“cuatro paquetes de café, por favor. Gracias.”
“You know anyone involved in any real national security must be shaking their heads in amazement.”
If I could draw, the cartoon would go like this:
At a random checkpoint, an inspector with clipboard stands before the open door of a Mexican-based truck. It has collapsed under its own weight, and the cargo is spilling out: twenty or so dirty bombs, several hundred uzis and ammunition, and several humans with luggage (some with beards). Not outside the realm of possibility.
I agree this is bad. But I wonder if the the Teamsters will assist at some very spectacular firey mexican truck crashes that will make headline news in the next few months.
You got it. Another brilliant move by our President...
