Correct. I should have said "Drivers in the program before the stimulus bill." I apologize. I meant to change my post but forgot.
Mexican trucks don't exist in the US, not now nor in the near future.
We'll see. My guess is that Obama will find a way to reinstate the program, while trying not to alienate unions. The issue here is Marxist big government ruining America's economy.
This is a curious case in which the "conservative vs. liberal" paradigm does not hold. Leftist pro-union Hilda Solis (Obama's Sec. of Labor) also is a big NAFTA backer. Conservatives are also divided on the Mexican truck issue, as you can see on this thread.
Maybe this temporary (if I am correct) suspension of the program will lead to a compromise in which Mexico will implement some reforms in enforcing and tracking violations of traffic laws, at least for commercial truck drivers, but that would go against deep rooted Mexican traditions in government and police.
Promises, promises. What he's done here is cut our freedom, increase federal control, and start a tax-hike contest with Mexico.
Any nonsense about some possible future plague of filthy brown Mexicans is the kind of phony racist distraction that Obama suck-ups love to bring up in hopes we won't remember what is.
