Wouldn't it be great if all those sneaking across the border now were auto workers. The UAW would be calling for the Army to be mowing them down with machine guns.

Anti-trade politicians talk of Mexican trucks as if they were the Tripod fighting machines deployed by the Martians in "War of the Worlds."

Except that in this case, the Teamster border is 20 miles inside the United States.

I am sure Mr. Lowery and others have watched the stream of unfit, dangerous, crap trucks coming across the border.

The safety issue alone is enough to stop them!

We have a truck compact of long-standing with the Canadians.

I have seen Canadian truckers and rigs all over at least the eastern areas of the U.S.

I always wondered why we couldn't take a copy of that compact, scratch out "Canada" write in "Mexico" and tell them "sign here."

Allowing Mexican trucks into the U.S. benefits us the same way that allowing Mexican immigrants, be they legal or illegal, into this country.

Can anyone yet say how this initiative benefits America? Shaving a couple of pennies per ton of merchandise isn't a good enough answer.

Let's keep the Third World in the Third World and out of the United States.

Eventually what will happen is the US will take over the Mexican government, and all of Mexico. The 51st state of Old Mexico. Just a part of the trilateral, one world government.

Sorry Mexico, you and your people will be assimilated and become irrelevant.

The NASCAR teams didn’t think much of driving to Mexico City, they needed armed guards to make it there. And a long haul driving friend did the trailer drop off at the border for mexicans to pickup, and the mexicans would steal anything and everything off the trailer and then bring back a looted trailer that would need an overhaul to pass the safety inspections. Mr. Lowry can go back to his Manhattan apartment and continue to cash his checks from whomever would pay him and the rest of us will continue to deal with a corrupt mexican culture.
