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

But Canadian trucks are fine? I honestly don't get what part of this some of you people have a problem with! All I've seen on comments on this is that their trucks are going to kill Americans because they're not inspected. So what's the problem? Their brakes pads are no good? Tires barely hanging on? What is it? Or is it just that they are from Mexico - which as we ALL know never produces anything good.

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.
