Mexican transport officials are urging the government to place a ban on commercial vehicles from the United States.

Right, then their economy tanks, mass starvation ensues and we get the bill anyway! Like most welfare for lifers, these people are just incredible.

Next thing you know they'll want us to pay for the maintenance and construction of all their new highways. (Oops! Better not give them any ideas.)

NAFTA may deliver blow to Mexican truckers

Mexico has a race horse in charge of their transportation program?

What if Canada banned U.S. trucks? Should we then allow Canadian trucks in the U.S.? Not for a minute. As a simple matter of self-respect, if Mexican trucks are banned from the U.S., even if for good safety reasons, Mexico should also ban our trucks. If the Mexicans do not defend their national interest through such legitimate peaceful means, it will only cause greater resentment against us.

"On Jan. 26, a NAFTA arbitration panel issued a ruling favorable to Mexico, urging the United States to allow Mexican trucks into the country, but the White House refused to accept this, citing safety concerns."

Gee...where are all the hystericals who screamed and ranted and raved that GW was allowing Mexican trucks accross our borders AND SELLING US OUT SELLING US OUT SELLING US OUT??
