Hoffa says the NAFTA superhighway plan would "allow global conglomerates to capitalize by exploiting cheap labor and non-existent work rules and avoiding potential security enhancements at U.S. ports."

Left unsaid is that Mexico is building facilities at their Pacific coast ports. Stand by for a decline in imports through west coast US ports and an onslaught of imports through Mexican ports. They will need to be trucked north and teamsters won't be doing it. The union thugs are worried as well they should be.

We will finally be able to single finger the longshoreman's union, the corrupto stato californiacate and stinkin teamsters. Unions and their rat allies are forcing shippers out of west coast ports and into Mexico.

The teamsters only make up about 15% of American truck drivers.

Just imagine the jobs that will be available for Mexicans at those ports. Improving the Mexican way of life just might deter many of them from trying to escape up here all the time. Improving the Mexican way of life at the expense of the Teamsters and Longshoremen who have priced themselves right out of their jobs, is OK by me.
