Are you saying that is not the title you entered? Someone changed it? I don't know who changed it, but the "curry favor with organized labor" part was not there originally. The moderators here recently have been editorializing in the threads and titles (see the more recent Ron Paul threads), so maybe it's the same thing here? Just a guess. I don't really know.

According to what I have read this free flow of truck traffic between Canada/USA/Mexico is part of a legal treaty between the countries - and therefore the law.
Therefore it had to have been agreed to by the Senate and signed by the President.
When did all this happen?? and who were the big players??

I know what you mean. We do our best to replace our workers with workers outside the nation, they watch as another segment of workers replaces our own and sends a good chunk of that money out of the nation. Just what do some people think supports our local econimies if not U.S. workers, who spend their earning HERE?
Thanks.

This a very good thing.
The “lets all make one happy American continent” people won’t like it.
But it’s a good day for the sovereignty of the United States.

Does Mexico have civil rights under the Constitution?
Great question!

"Blocking the trucks would help Democrats curry favor with organized labor, an important ally for the 2008 presidential elections."Guess I'll just have to give that one to the dems....just wondering how many points the pubbys can spare?

"One of the carrier's trucks crossed the border in Laredo, Texas last week and delivered its cargo in North Carolina on Monday and was expected to return to Mexico late this week after a stop in Decatur, Ala."Wonder who had to get out in Decatur?

“I would never allow an unsafe truck on our highways, particularly Texas highways,”
He’s lying.
As of Friday, there is still no way for me to verify the credentials, i.e. insurance, authority to operate, and safety histories. Nor is it possible, even, for a Mexican Carrier to certify a driver under 49 CFR Part 391.xx.
This whole mess is only to serve the interests of big, and I do mean BIG, business and the inevitable corruption that will follow.
Add this as a chapter in the book of...”How America Was Sold...With No Money Down”.
