For now, let’s keep the article in perspective. The Dems caught a Compasionate Conservative President with his head in the sand and they seized the opportunity for some political points. What SHOULD occur is for conservatives to stop and ask “what did the mexican truckers plan have to do with conservatism?”. The answer is simply nothing. Lesson learned, when the Democrats are passing legislation you find yourself in agreement with, ask what the hell your President is doing wrong.
The lesson free trade has taught us so far, is that there is no job that can be shipped offshore, that shouldn’t be. I just don’t buy into that, even if some think that makes me the biggest democrat on the planet.
I want my next door neighbor to have a job. I woulk like to think foreign nationals will have jobs, but my obligation is to my neighbor first. Sorry, that’s just my take on it.
I want me next door neighbors to have reasoned incomes that will afford them a resonably comfortable life and to support the national community financially.
If we buy into this plan to allow Mexicans to enter our nation, on day one it will displace truckers who used to pick up loads at the border and carry them cross county. Within days it will replace truckers who used to haul loads from the interior of our nation to the border. Within months Mexican truckers would have replaced just about every U.S. trucker in the nation.
I won’t be buying into this great plan.
Ignoring the threats to national security and highway safety for the moment, this isn’t what I want for either my fellow citizen or my nation.
