The trucks coming into the U.S. from mexico are CRAP! And before you try or anyone else should try to dispute this, YOU GO STAND IN LAREDO AT THE BORDER CROSSING AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK!! (rant off)
Yes this is protectionism, protection of the motorists, and their familys on our highways. If you don't believe it, you should take a trip on a truck route or two in Mexico.
