America Under Invasion ... by Mexican Trucks
Newsmax ^ | 9/6/07 | Clayton B. Reid

Posted on 09/07/2007 1:19:47 AM PDT by xtinct

Mexican trucks are rolling over the U.S. border, freely bound for anywhere in America, and it seems that nothing -- not furious Teamsters nor angry environmentalists, not even Congress -- can stop them.

Are the drivers properly licensed and sober or well-rested with the legal amount of down time? Do they speak English or understand U.S. road signs? Will the trucks be carrying illegal immigrants, drugs, terrorists, nuclear or biological weapons or other contraband? Will they belch tons of banned pollutants into America’s air? Will lower-paid Mexican drivers put American truckers out of work? Will the trucks gut the tax base which supports the U.S. highway infrastructure?

Frankly, no one knows. But, like it or not, the trucks are rolling. It’s a done deal.

When the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco denied an appeal from the Teamsters, the Sierra Club and other groups on Aug. 31, it opened the way for a “test program” pushed by the Bush administration to begin.

Initially, the Department of Transportation plans to allow 44 Mexican long-haul semis to participate in the first 30 days, but the program quickly will expand, to allow 100 Mexican trucking companies to send 1,000 trucks streaming across the border.

We have enough bad truck drivers here already. Don’t need to import worse ones.

Up to now, the one thing you could count on when driving cross country was that the truckers could drive.

I guess we will have to wait for the first outrage- a wrecked bus full of kids or a family van or some other group of Americans killed by one of these people.

Nah. Corporate America doesn't have a column for that on their balance sheet.

Trucks? Mexican trucks? I don see no Me-he-can trucks? Tinfoil hatters only see tinfoil mexican trucks.

Whats it going to take? Being told the new US language is mexican? Or maybe.... the Mexican flag flying over the WH would do it?

Maybe its just that few care. Who knows. Best to put on my rose colored glasses and worry about all this later. Will people wake up soon? When you take a look at the amount of posters to this thread I am not too hopeful.

It will take one accident and a great lawyer to slap a lawsuit on the driver before things might change.

We need to get out the video cameras and place them on the dash boards and catch anything suspicious.

You’re right, hardly anyone cares. We may as well chuck it. I’m beyond disgusted.

Yesterday there was a thread about the LOST treaty. There were only about 6 posters, but over 227 views. Unreal.

Bush is backing that which would turn over some of our power to the UN, of all places.

Got me, I’m LOST!

As quickly as I've seen parts of the Southwest fall into the gutter - even on the northern reservations they're talking about it - I am sick about what the next five to ten years will bring.

And then within the last two years all the labelling from big corporations like P & G switched to bilingual so I can't even figure out how to use the HE detergent. For now I'm keeping that third world garbage out of the house, but...

And now I see more and more clothing with the three languages of the NAU, it appears too late.

The corporations drive the country after all, and we are just collateral damage to be run over by more drunken illegal aliens or truckers. And most people are still asleep at the wheel or eating their Ding-Dongs or I don't know what.

I suppose we are going to have to get used to being nothing in this new 3rd world america. Right now we are just a wallet for Mexico. Our country has allowed the global community to take away the greatness of the US. We have had our eyes wide shut for too long. Maybe the confusion is there is no turning back. The reason no one wants to see it is they know they don't have any power. Or maybe the investment of mental and material resources keeps people from wanting to involve themselves with a solution.

You know, it may not be too long before the subjects we discuss are about survival in a third world cesspool.

I am sick about what the next five to ten years will bring.

You and me both. I try not to be outwardly down about it. It is just always there. Especially when I pinpoint good times in my life in a great country, the USA.

Who would have thought we’d be colonized this way?? Up until the elections in ‘06, I still harbored hope. Now it’s just stock up on supplies, avoid driving near any Sonora license plates if at all possible, and vent here with my friends :0)

My 82 year old Dad has said that he never dreamed that another country would take over the USA without declaring war or firing a single shot? Well, shots have been fired by illegal criminals. Who would have ever dreamed that our government would take the side of the invaders?

I don’t know if you notice how the constant diversions are all working against realization of what is happening to us. The media rarely mentions the issues that are being discussed and passed behind our backs. They roll out the next dead girl, sports figure on steroids, silly bin Laden photoshopped crap, or any other diversion they can find.

Glad you find people here friends. I do too. Even some I don’t always agree with!

I honestly felt we still had a chance - with Duncan Hunter as President. I don’t know if he is ‘out’ of the race or not - but after the debates, I haven’t heard good reports. Glenn Beck even listed him last night as one of the ‘non-candidates’ (and endorsed Fred and also Giuliani).

Hunter was the only one that I trusted to put an immediate stop to the ‘entitled, angry, demanding, less than brilliant, often drunk, law-breaking, non-respectful, thieving’ invaders.

Hunter is the only one who sees this invasion as a real threat to our sovereignty and a nose thumbing to our laws.

Actually, (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Rep. Hunter is merely trying to add a layer of paperwork to the program. If you want this program eliminated, your best bets are Kucinich, Edwards, and possibly Paul.

I guess we will have to wait for the first outrage . . . .

Much like the gun-grabbers "breathlessly" await the next school shooting, if you think about it.

Bush clearly wants a dem as president. He is truly not our friend.

“Whats it going to take? Being told the new US language is mexican?”

Already happening in Texas. The Granbury (TX) ISD (near DFW) has had a SPANISH immersion program for 7 yrs for kids pre-school thru 4th grade (IIRC) They are calling it a great success. Oddly, the English immersion program is far less successful.
