"Teamster Union president Jim Hoffa questioned the timing — during Congress' August recess — of the administration's decision "to move forward with its hugely unpopular program to throw open our borders to unsafe Mexican trucks.""

First thing Monday morning and I'm actually agreeing with the Teamster's Union president. What a way to start the week. But he's right to question the timing of this horrendously bad idea. I wonder if it's too late to stop it.

I bet we will see some very shiney rigs rolling over those borders paid for by some american companys all to eager to do away with the Teamsters and their high wages along with the independent trucker as well.

I hope we learned alot from the immigration bill debacle.

The politicians will listen when we make it plain to them that their very job depends on doing what’s right.

And let’s face it, sad as it may be, the current immigration views of Americans are pretty inflamed by incidents like the Newark murders.

Here we have another example of a Federal agency being reduced to figurehead status... the DOT. They will be able to put the screws to American truckers, but will idly stand by when Jose or Pedro goes over his weight limit, had bad brakes, doesn’t keep the proper logs, or drives 36 hours straight with the help of a few black beauties.

Time will tell.
Lets hope we don’t have to pay for it with very many of our own smeared all over the highways...
