The Senate and House are paying more attention to the voters on these issues, but there are still plenty who want Mexican trucks into the US, as they now are on a test basis. First on the list who want them in the US is Jorge Bush and many compatriots. And not allowing them does go against provisions of NAFTA, which is fine with me.
It’s not over yet, and all Congress is doing now is cutting off Dept. of Transportation funds from use in this test program, and their basis for withholding funds is still safety issues.
Corsi might not be so far off. This is just another in a long line of temporary holds on this part of NAFTA.
Toadster, this thread is rated 30 points above your cognitive level, just read and learn.
How can this be? For years I’ve been told on FR that the WTO supercedes American law!
