... American highways choked with Mexican death traps is because American trucking companies have been very vocal in opposition.

Well thank God for that. With all the illegal filthbag mexicans already sneaking into our country and raping and murdering, we sure do not need mexican trucks smashing into anything and everything here.

Something to remember about Rick Perry, he spent a lot of time supporting a “trans America” highway stretching from the Texas/Mexico border to the US/Canada border.
It would have been built using US tax dollars, but open to most Mexican trucking companies.

That would have been the foot in the door for the Mexican drivers.
I’m no fan of Perry’s.
