I remember reading about this a while ago. I really am not going to jump into the chicken little hysteria group about it. The teamsters are upset because they are the ones who are losing out on transporting this stuff — if you believe it is anything more than that on their end then I have a bridge to sell you (like they give a flying fig about safety).

These aren’t box trucks, they are tractor trailers from large Mexican businesses. They will be subject to a heightened level of scrutiny entering our country. Their equipment inspected more so than American rigs are.

Canada’s rigs cross our borders 24/7, this is no different.

Canadians cross the border every day.

But I’m havin trouble remembering the last time they murdered three American students in Newark, execution style.

There is no way to make any kind of comparison between Canada and that rathole country called Mexico.Canadian drivers at least have the ability to drive safely. I don’t think a Mexican has the coordination to ride a bicycle without running into something.

The rampant corruption in Mexico is well known and accepted. Your statement, when looked at in this reality, makes no sense whatsoever. Who do you think (a little bit of common sense now) will be controlling a large portion of this traffic? Exporting people (and products) illegally to the US is Mexico's #1 economic driving force. To expect that increasing the traffic flow will decrease illegal activity is absurd.
