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 you think that denying Mexican truckers access to US highways would in any way reduce that? Dream on.

And suggest some American labor union is the problem?

The problem? Where did I suggest that?

I merely pointed out the obvious: that the unionists will consider this order bad news, as they don't like competition. Unions like to maintain their monopoly over certain industries, not wanting anyone to undercut them -- either foreign or domestic.

Tell me, do you also fear competition? Is that what drives your disdain for Mexican truckers?

Well hells bells, lets just let them all in then.

You betcha, man, lets just open the freaking borders to tens of thousands of Mexican truck. Good thinking Fred. We can't do anything about it anyway. Right?

I know what you pointed out slick...

And I merely pointed out we're surrounded by traitors.

Who you support here is inordinately clear.

“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.
