1st Mexican Truck Rolls Across Border Under Cover of Darkness(You can thank GWB.)

The first Mexican truck authorized by a Bush administration program opening U.S. highways to trucking companies from south of the border crossed into the U.S. this morning at approximately 1:50 a.m. EDT at Laredo, Texas, headed for North Carolina, according to a report from Trucker.com.

WND research indicates Transportes Olympic, the Mexican trucking firm sending this morning's tractor trailer north, was actually selected to be the first across the border nearly six months ago, despite the administration's "last-minute" announcement of the carrier earlier this week – a revelation that has been described as an example of "stealth."

The designation of Transportes Olympic actually was made at a Feb. 22, 2007, ceremony held in Apodaca, a municipality of the city of Monterrey in the Mexican state Nuevo Leon, the headquarters location of Transportes Olympic.

The government ceremony in Mexico went virtually unreported in the U.S. media.

In attendance were Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters, together with her Mexican counterpart, Luis Téllez, secretary of communications and transportation, and José Natividad Gonzáles Parás, governor of Nuevo Leon.

There Peters officially blessed Transportes Olympic as the first Mexican trucking company that would be allowed to operate freely in the U.S. under NAFTA.

That Transportes Olympic had been selected months earlier was not disclosed last Thursday when John Hill, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Administration, announced Transportes Olympic to the U.S. public.

Hill's announcement came in a dramatic, surprise late-night telephone conference held with selected members of the U.S. media at 9:00 p.m. EDT, after many deadlines had past for filing Friday morning stories.

Not a blank check. Not yet. 100 trucks, 1.4 million to go.

Don't forget those that wish to kill us. You know the ones that refer to us as infidels.

And ship out American jobs and sovereignty by the trailor load, too!

Thanks for the BOHICA, Bush!

Here come Mexican corruption and abysmal third world mores, illiteracy, disease, drugs, criminals, illegals by the truckload, the list is endless. And guess what, we pay the freight. Meanwhile, the Mexican oligarchy gets richer on remittances as they dump the unwanted, bottom third of their country over the nonexistent border. Where is the incentive to change? We’ve been told by Fox that the alternative is for the US to rebuild Mexico’s infrastructure, from soup to nuts. Meanwhile, they blatantly scheme to seize control of the American southwest, all the way to Colorado. Reconquista writ large.

Unfortunately, that's been happening for a very long time. On the good side, at least they can now be taxed.

If I was the person driving this Mexican truck I’d fear for my safety.

Driving only at night is a good strategy.

This was rammed down our throats. The first of many.

This article mentioned the word “stealth.” IMHO, a large portion, if not all, of the NAU will be done in stealth mode.

If I had to chose between the "War on Terror" and securing the borders of the country, I'd take securing the borders.

George Bush almost makes me miss Clinton.

Is a trailor anything like a trailer?

Fernando Paez owns Transportes Olympic, which on Thursday, Sept. 6, became the first Mexican carrier to receive authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to operate in the United States under the agency's new pilot program.

dangerous flora and fauna .. spores and insects ... Even California won't let you bring the oranges you eat to keep up your vitamin C intake during long, hot rides.

T.B.,any number of known and unknown STD'S, (What? American Lot Lizards pass up a buck, just because the guy isn't American?)

COUNTERFEIT MONEY, unregulated goods from who knows where.

The list is endless and most none of it good.
