Beware, it's not just the court. Our president, congress and many others in the ruling class want this. They pushed for open borders, amnesty etc in an effort to destroy our sovereignty and our legitimate borders. This goes way beyond the 9th.
Their amnesty has been delayed, and this was in the works. This will do until they can eventually make our borders and sovereignty all but pointless.
This is all part of the plan, regardless of what the legitimate citizens of America want.
I know he was ordered to do this but seems to me there should be more discussion in light of 9-11. This is ludicrous. Just wait and see what this kind of move will bring to our country. Just wait.
You better be keeping your eye on this. It probably wouldn’t hurt to learn how to pronounce la trocha, hombre.
Canadians and US Citizens have roughly the same standard of living. Thus when competing for jobs, the same scales of value are used. When you bring a group into this mix that is plenty happy to take much less pay, you destabalize the market.
This is rather simple. If you don’t see anything wrong with replacing our truckers with people who are willing to take 1/2 the salary they do, you and I disagree on this.
I don’t want to see US truckers undercut by people who don’t have families or lifestyles in the US to support.
LOL!!
Soon to be followed by a federal court injunction prohibiting careful searches of their contents.
Just like the illegal alien situation where the feds refuse to do their duty the States will have to step in.
Bush & Co. were mortified amnesty failed, so now they will ship the illegals in by truck.
So they are going to be allowed to transport between two domestic American destinations?
“Soon to be followed by a federal court injunction prohibiting careful searches of their contents.”
Oh yes!!!!
I don't disagree with that dragnet. Mexico is literally an overflowing sewer.
That said, I must tell you that most of my life I had a pretty smug attitude about the corruption in places like Latin America and Africa. The last couple of decades of observing every level of government in this country has taken a lot of my smugness away.
I honestly don’t know at this point. I’m just raising the posibility. Even if they can’t now, you just wait five years or so until the deal changes. I don’t trust this free trade crowd one bit having seen what passes for morals for them.
WELCOME Freepers to the world of a globalized economy. I think the Mexican truck drivers are decent, no complaining from some one who LIVES in south of the border. Stop your whining, it was in the NAFTA agreement, and there were some good things, and poor things, for both of the countries. But things are looking up for both countries. Come on, give it a chance. Let the American truckers roll their rigs into Mexico onto some of these turnpikes paid for by a cash out lay of the Clintons. It’s a wonderful world, if we work together we can get an edge and a handle on the market and thwart the RED CHINESE
YOU’RE DEAD WRONG! There is only one American Trucking Company period that OWNS a Mexican Trucking Company, and it isn’t Schneider. This ownership deal was consumated years before the NAFTA agreement was inked.
I cannot and will not state any further on this matter, but want to nip your conspiracy thoughts in their budding form. It just ain’t so Alberta’s Child.
Understand this, the American Truckers are fighting tooth and nail for the freight existing as it is. With the addition of Mexican Truckers to the scene you will see many go under. This deal is a one way street you and I will pay for dearly in lives lost and jobs lost.
This will not simply effect the trucking industry, but also other aspects of the shipping industry as well. This will open up movement to Mexico of other related Industry.
American trucking companies will lose millions, so will the Teamsters. American trucking companies will register in Mexico to avoid paying state taxes, etc.. Sigh.
As long as they’re not taking over routes that Americans truckers are doing now (domestic) I don’t see how they will take from American jobs unless, as you say, they change the regulations on that later. I don’t see any downside to this right now unless I’m missing something.
Logistics is basically a broker. Say a shipper has a load coming from Mexico City. The Logistics operator has a pocketful of Mexican Truckers phone numbers and calls one for the client to arrange the load be moved from “A” to the border, or the trailer to be “Interchanged” at the border to an American Trucker for movement to point “B”, the final destination.
Logistics doesn’t mean they own anything, more often they own a phone and a computer. That’s it. They are nothing but matchmakers and gain their profit for their service as such.
