If there’s one thing this economy needs, it’s more imported workers who get paid a lot less than Americans. That strategy has done wonders for our economy so far.
Every once in a while, there’s a FR thread about illegal immigration. You should keep an eye out for one.
It is unreasonable for Mexico to assume we should allow their drivers of deadly 18 wheelers on our highways when they have NO verification of violations, no national database of CDL holders and virtually no DOT as we do with logging hours.
How is the DOT supposed to check the log books on US drivers, but if you are Mexican? Oh, go on through. Been driving 19 hours straight? No problem, you are Mexican and we wouldn’t want a trade war.
This is stupid. Mexico wants to play with the big boys, ACT like the big boys.
Mexico can’t even keep their citizens heads from being lopped off, much less keep decent standards on tractor trailer drivers.
This is impossible.
The pro-tax anti-freedom pro-depression Freepers assure me that protectionism is good for us.
Not to mention there is no verification of insurance on these vehicles.
I think I’ve probably explained why you are incorrect a dozen times already. You should probably remember where you’ve tried that BS.
They tax our goods but expect us to feed, house and educate their people...all while sending mainly tax-free remittances back to Mexico...
As Felipe Calderon and Vicente Fox say, “It’s a ween-ween”
They do. Look up the law and do some research. Your assertions are absurd on their face.
Mexican trucks follow the same rules as ours on our roads.
A trade war would hurt America and Americans.
We don’t need to export any products anyway. The pear, cherry, apricot, potato and Christmas tree growers deserve it for selling to foreigners.
Last time I checked, the US had a $50 Billion trade deficit with Mexico
You sure have a creative definition of the term, "win - win."
Mexican illegal immigrants stay in the U.S., and Washington state workers (in export industries) take it on the chin. How does that work?
LOL—I suppose those Washington exports don’t really count, then. We should not buy oil from Mexico unless they buy the same amount of oil from us. What are we thinking?
How many Christmas trees can I put you down for this year in order to help make up the shortfall?
“Joo lose, gringo”
I’ll take an even dozen. As long as the truck that delivers them isn’t using fuel from imported oil. And the driver can’t have a foreign sounding name. And he can’t drive on any toll roads.
