The 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, promised access to all U.S. highways by 2000 to Mexican and Canadian truckers.

What President authorized this piece of crap?

Let’s see: in the works since 1994, and originally scheduled for 2000. How long is a night in Rep. DeFazio’s solar system?

But Hill said the program should be given a chance to run because every Mexican truck has to meet the same standard as U.S. trucks.

By all means let's give the terrorists a better chance to attack our country from within.

According to this article, your ACU rating must be below 20 in order to be truly upset . . . but two lib congressmen aren’t very “representative.”

Klinton of course , although he never pushed for commencement of this provision . Now comes Bush , who seems all to eager to appease Mexico at any cost .

The education system has finally scored a victory by producing a congress possessing a “Sesame Street” level of education.

If you are asking about the formation of NAFTA, William Jefferson Clinton to begin with.

But Jorge Boosh is actively using it, and wide open borders during wartime, to promote his globalist goal of one world government. You know, the New World Order that GHWB spoke of so often? Life under the UN.

This should hurt her thighness with the unions, and the rest of those who value American sovereignty. She is claiming her husband’s presidency as being equivalent to her own experiences, so she can own up to all of his actions just as soon as the MSM asks her the hard questions.

While officially declaring his candidacy for President, Ronald Reagan proposes a “North American Agreement” which will produce “a North American continent in which the goods and people of the three countries will cross boundaries more freely.”

Read it and weep.

Clinton but Bush Sr. supported it as well. Perot is the only candidate that shot it down.

Wow! My memory didn’t retain that! Reagan did some things I did not approve of, but I really don’t remember that he was the father of NAFTA. Perhaps it wasn’t called NAFTA until Clinton’s administration. GHWB was Reagan’s vice president, of course.

You are right, 1rudeboy. We should all weep.

Reagan’s theoretical/philosophical instincts were, and are, correct. You can safely argue the world has changed, however.

“John Hill, head of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, gave the go-ahead for the trucks...”

Of course the next question for these morons infesting Washington is, Why do you allow unelected bureaucrats - in the Executive branch - to write law? Writing law was meant to be your job, you lunatics. Then you wonder why your approval rate is 14% and falling.

If it were up to me, sergeantdave would drown half you creeps in a kiddie swimming pool and ship the other half one-way to North Korea.
