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.

Will these MexTrucks run on the new low-sulfur diesel? If not, they won’t go far.

I wish you hadn’t told me that. I guess it stands to figure that we are going to be browbeat to take on the language of our occupiers.

I wonder how long it will take for the mexican flag to fly along , probably above, at the WH? I guess it will be necessary to take on that blue flag with the three stars?

I am sure there will be those still calling it tinfoil hat. Maybe they just know its true about what is coming, and it feels better to deny it, than to face it.

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.

Just one of the disastrous results of electing Bush/Clinton/Clinton/Bush/Bush over and over again. HUGE MISTAKE FOR AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY!

The whole world knows that we are too “civilized” and “tolerant” to do a damn thing about it. (W are suckers). If the roles were reversed Mexicans would be firebombing any American truck that crossed their border. If Americans arent willing to FIGHT for their jobs (and their country for that matter) then they don’t deserve to have them. No other country on the face of this planet would accept this outright invasion by foreigners.

They roll out the next dead girl, sports figure on steroids, silly bin Laden photoshopped crap, or any other diversion they can find.

Soooooooooo true!! I started noticing a couple of years ago, when all Faux started doing was the missing person of the day story. Hurricanes are all the rage too - even though they only affect a small area v. this full-on, nationwide invasion.

Glenn Beck only gets part of the picture, unfortunately. I heard him reporting about the trucks, the imprisoned border agents, I think even the NAU, but then in the next segment, he was breathless over CFR-Fred.

>>>so basically there are people working in the US, with Bush’s consent, that don’t even get minimum wage??>>>

NO. This truck agreement was part of NAFTA, signed in 96 by BILL CLINTON. Its the LAW, thanks to CLINTON, not Bush.

This is happening because we have a President who has totally taken leave of his senses.

See:

From the Drudge Report - hardly a liberal smear page.

It was signed by Clinton, but it was initiated by George H W Bush. GW appears to be setting his father’s proposal into motion.

“In 1991 Bush [senior] proposed a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, which would lower or eliminate tariffs on trade between the three nations. The proposal, favored by Canada and Mexico, was designed to help North America compete against the growing free-trade zones of Europe and Asia. The agreement was eventually taken up by his successor, Bill Clinton, and ratified by the U.S. Congress in November 1993.”

And Bush 41 was acting on what Ronald Reagan set in motion. Are you sure you want to be discussing timelines?

“Are you sure you want to be discussing timelines?”

I’ll play

70+ yrs.

About the same period of time since the formation of the CFR.

Time to vote outside the box.

I am most interested in the fact that some FReepers are trying to throw blame around to Clinton, Bush, Bush, maybe Clinton. It reminds me of a soon to be divorced couple that blames each other for the trauma to the kids.

Fact is it doesn’t really matter anymore. Attaching blame is futile, and also a very liberal thing to do. Why? Because it fixes nothing and does nothing to change the outcome.

This problem is a US thing, party matters not. It isn’t about party, its about an elite class that wishes to have power by depressing freedom and depressing exceptionalism of the masses. It is a movement to oppress and utilize those that will work hard to level the playing field for those that do not contribute for the sake of appeasement. It requires absolutely nothing from the elite class. Therefore it creates a forced type of peace, a peace that will not last forever for the ruling class. Eventually, it will be off with their heads.

It is socialism, and it is our future if we do not fight it.
