“Senator Cornyn stands for the right and for the sovereignty of the US. The sound bite (drive by) media can’t be trusted to tell the truth. “

Why does he want to spend give our money to Mexico with his “North American Investment Fund” idea?

“As my colleagues know, as I have just recounted, the United States is under a treaty obligation through NAFTA to open our interior to long-haul trucks from Canada and Mexico, just as they are required to open their highways to American truckers.”

We are under no treaty obligation, as NAFTA was never ratified as a treaty.

I’m not a lawyer. I’m certainly not knowledgable about international law. However, when 3 countries sign an agreement, when our legislators ratify it by whatever margin, that sounds like a contract or a promise. Our own courts have ruled against us.

As I said, this “ban” is so much paper and air. I sure wish a requirement that had a chance of standing in court, requiring inspection and the enforcement of standards had been passed.
