The U.S. Department of Transportation says it will soon allow Mexican trucking firms to apply for authorization to make long-haul cross-border runs, potentially ending a longstanding dispute.
It says it expects the move to permanently end Mexico’s on-again, off-again retaliatory tariffs on $2 billion in U.S. imports. […]
The opening is a long-delayed provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. …

We were repeatedly warned about this and all the other big g sellouts. But ya gotta love the names of these agreements/laws they come up with...Like immigration "reform". "Patriot" Act...on and on.
WAR ON TERROR = PURE ARTIFICE...!!
Lots of talk and funding, sure..!
IT IS ALL A LIE..!
This is crap! They darn well better have to conform to every single DOT and EPA regulation domestic trucks do.
First the US issues terror warning travels, and then they open the borders to Mexican truckers.
The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
What could possibly go wrong?
Do we need a War on Terror? YES..!
Do we have one NOW? No..!
I think in world history it’s almost unprecedented for a country to be devoting so much MOUTH-share to this concept while being completely powerless to stop an invasion by CHILDREN.
For those two things to exist side-by-side is ABSURD.
Let’s rewind the clocks:
East Germany says they have airtight security, but a few phone calls shows an entire generation of screaming, diseased Guatemalans have taken up residence there:
Would you take ANYTHING East Germany said seriously, after that?
Our enemies will not either.
Nothing good is going to come from this.
To answer my own question, I suspect our Ultra Liberal "negotiators" go into these negotiations not with an attitude of protecting the American citizens and taxpayers, but with a generous bleeding heart position willing to give away far more than they expect to get. Instead of realizing that we have the upper hand, and we don't have to give an inch, it's known our side is represented by a bunch of wussies and fools, and it's the Mexicans who drive the hard bargain. For every unskilled Mexican driver on the road, an American life is in jeopardy. As usual, we're being sold out by our own government!
obies going to re hire retired TSA personnel.....to do these inspections...
No, no, it’s “overseas contingency operation” and “war of necessity” . . . oh, my bad; that’s so 2009.
Of course it had to be that NAFTA was a one-way street...

I'm going to disagree — we do not need a war on some abstract concept that can be changed at the whims of those in power.
Such a war
is inherently unwinnable: because there is no clear goal, there is no clear victory condition
, because there is no clear victory condition
the goal may be moved and altered at-will.
(Look at how they've floated the idea tea-party = terrorist
out there; they want the War on Terror so that they can define their political enemies as terrorists.)
“For every unskilled Mexican driver on the road, an American life is in jeopardy”

This needs to be repeated over and over. I’ve been wondering when this was going to happen and kept hoping that somehow wisdom would prevail. Semis with bald tires, worn out brakes and tired drivers terrify me, and they will be on the road with us.
They know what they’re doing...Part of the world order plan...Destroy sovereignty, borders, flood the country with tens of millions of foreigners, on and on. Divide the united. Bring in our replacements.

Hey America! Bend over!! - Love, Barack.
