We NEED to let the Mexican trucks in to deliver the drugs...

There already Mexican trucks crossing the border each day within the border region. Someone has to transport the goods we buy from Mexico.

Oil and what else? Drugs?

"Someone has to transport the goods we buy from Mexico."

Hopefully in a safe vehicle, with proper insurance, with an understanding of our laws - and consideration for them.
Hopefully, having been inspected at the border and, ideally, not willing and able to haul ass back to mexico after any altercation, accident, or infringement.

Maybe next vacation you could come out this way and spend some time on the freeways with both the mexican trucks and the mexican truck drivers we deal with daily.

I used to drive for a major trucking company that had a terminal 2 miles inside the American border with Mexico in Laredo, TX. The Mexican drivers would pull our trailers to our terminal (loaded with General Motors sub-assemblies) and we would hook up to them and drag them to GM in either Detroit or East Lansing, MI.

We would leave Michigan with trailers loaded with GM piece parts to drag back to our Laredo terminal so a Mexican driver could take the trailer south of the border so Mexican labor could build more sub-assemblies so we could drag them back to Michigan.

It was a never ending cycle. Now you know one of the big reasons your two thousand dollar Chevy cost you twenty thousand dollars today.
