Mexican trucks — what could go wrong?
Why are there any republicans not opposed to this?
Who cares about agriculture tariffs? It is the deprivation of US jobs by low-wage invaders that will cost the U.S. billions. And U.S. truckers are wise not to go into Mexico...so the Mexicans are demanding an unbalanced requirement to their advantage... Typical.
We have concerns that this proposed program could impact the safety and may create a security breach along our southern border, the lawmakers wrote in a May 4 letter.”
LOL!! That’s rich! When did this make any difference? The BORDER IS WIDE OPEN.
“Currently, truckers on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border are permitted to travel only within a 20- to 25-mile radius of a trade port.”
The roadsides near the Otay Mesa (San Diego) port of entry are littered with plastic bottles full of urine from the troqueros.
As a result, the Mexican government slapped tariffs on $2.4 billion of U.S. goods, and those tariffs are still in place today.
First, let me say that this was a treaty approved by the United States. We can't then go pick and choose what parts of the treaty we're going to follow. If they don't like the trucking provisions then withdraw from the treaty. Trash it. We did it with the ABM treaty. Just pull the plug.
That said, the fact that the teat-sucking Mexicans slapped a $2.5 billion dollar tariff in response to our not honoring the trucking provisions of the treaty is just beyond the pale. They already suck so much money out of the US they should be PAYING US for education and healthcare of their illegal aliens.
The House should immediately retaliate against money being sent to Mexico.
Ping!
I reckon the truckers should get a ping ever so often...be great to see if there are any stats on accidents or smuggling-related incidents with these trucks.

13 Republicans and 31 Democrats
Bass ackwards?!
Does not the Legislative Branch make up the laws?
Now, if they are begging Obama not to veto the law that they create, that's a different story.
If they are going to allow Obama to make law, then they should all quit and we'll save money not paying for the entire Legislative branch.
