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...

Jose or Pedro help of a few black beauties.

Racist!!! Now I know why we are called a hate site. /s

USDOT doesn't enforce Federal weight and safety regulations anyway. That job is left to individual states -- and I am sure there are plenty of state police departments who are salivating at the idea of bagging Mexican truckers at their scales, safety inspection stations, etc.

Keep in mind that a driver's inability to understand English is an "out of service" violation -- which means a truck driven by someone who can't speak English can be seized by the police.
