"Loading and unloading goods at the border is highly inefficient."

Efficiency? You will open up the US to potential chaos and put the average US citizen at risk for increased crime and decreased income for efficiency?

Come on..you had better do better than that.

I am supportive of reasonable safety regulations, inspections, and driver training. I am not in favor of unsafe Mexican trucks and drivers. There is a legitimate question about enforcement. I am persuaded that states will enforce safety regulations if the federal government does not.

This agreement is asymmetrical regarding driver access. Access to Mexico by US drivers is difficult because of the condition of Mexican roads and lawlessness. I think that Mexico should be pressured to improve law enforcement on their roads. I am not sure improvement is possible given the chaos in Mexico.

I could be persuaded to oppose this agreement if there is not reasonable enforcement of safety standards and American trucks do not get fair access to Mexican roads.
