‘Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who drafted a Republican alternative to Dorgan’s amendment, said the attempt to block the trucks appeared to be about limiting competition and may amount to discrimination against Mexico.’
yeah. I hope Texas voters discriminate him, and vote someone with country-first views in his place.
‘the attempt to block the trucks appeared to be about limiting competition and may amount to discrimination against Mexico”
John Corolyn would rather discriminate against american truckers, than mexican truckers. Sorry for the spelling
Before I would ever agree with your negatives about Cornyn, I would want to look at his amendment. He may want to MAKE SURE that whatever is passed will not be overturned by some sleazy lawers with ACLC by the same California judge that allowed them to roll in the first place. He did vote against HR2764 which among other things allows the use of our tax $ for Nancy P to travel to countries that are State sponsors of terrorism, allows up to 50 people from a gov’t dept to attend a meeting in another country, funds some real wingy organizations with a LOT of money. If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is. Has the House voted on this bill?
These are three globalist that have been pushing all this imminent domain, Trans-Texas corridor, Mexican trucker program, Nafta BS for quite sometime.
The sooner they are out of office, the better Texas will be for it.
What should be done is that the US should give Mexico (and Canada) notice that we intend on abrogating the NAFTA treaty and if they want to renegotiate a fair trade treaty, we would be open to that at their earliest convenience. But you have to have a President willing to do this.
Of course Congress could propose a Constitutional amendment to overrule NAFTA, but the chances of that are slim as well. So are chances of a court case challenging the NAFTA treaty to make it to the USSC.
We got in this mess when Congress allowed NAFTA to be “fast tracked” and not subject to State ratification.
