Are you kidding? These mexican truck drivers are from a different culture with notions that conflict with our culture. That craziness will flow out into our streets and highways.
Question: Have you ever driven around in Mexico. I HAVE!!!
My friend, it is totally insane!!! If you really want to find out what this is going to be like, go into El Paso during a busy week day and drive around where Interstate 10 passes down thru the middle of the city. Then get off one of the exits and try to negotiate your way around. That is definitely the most dangerous place I have ever tried to drive a car.
Those mexican nationals will run right over your a** and never look back.
They DO NOT think like what we are used to seeing here.
THAT is what we are dealing with. A bunch of wild-eyed nutjobs!!!

Another cheap labor push. NAFTA has really hurt the USA.
This bilateral agreement is hog wash. They don't need our truck to deliver goods to Mexican. They can just use the Mexican truckers to deliver goods back to Mexico.
They are doing it for again cheap labor, they don't need our our trucks going down there. Also, we export less to Mexico since NAFTA, in fact we have a deficient to Mexico. We buy more in oil from them then they buy goods from us.
We are racing to the bottom.
It could get dangerous in this country.

The NAFTA Superhighway might be another significant threat to American borders.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 4 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

This is his six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

I am sure the Mexican trucks will crash and kill many motorists on American highways. They will add cheap and unreliable services to the trucking industry and put many American drivers out of business. I vote NO on Mexican trucks. This is a very stupid idea. I would like to slap the idiots who came up with this one.

Substandard vehicles with drivers who haven't met our requirements for CDL's. Smuggling drugs and illegal aliens.
Wrecks along the highway and oops, no insurance. A drop in wages for American truckers. Those are my expectations.
This is a foolish move for the US.

One step closer to the North American Union, better save your dollars, so you can exchange them for Ameros. Good paying jobs are going to become even more scarce, especially for truck drivers!

The ones from Canada are bad enough. This was a problem that we didn't need.
The North American Union strikes again.

I think they will inevitably break down on our freeways and cause traffic nightmares like you can't even imagine! Not to mention the questionable "cargo" they might be hauling. Thank God that this is a one year PILOT PROGRAM. If it doesn't work well, it won't continue.
Everyone concerned about this THREAT to our nation, should contact their State Senators, Congressmen, and of course, President "Zippy!"

I think it is a bunch of BS and shows that the USA is nothing more than a STATE in the North American Union. Our own senators and congressmen and women have been ignored, and NAFTA and the SPP have been implemented. What does this mean? It means WE THE PEOPLE have no say in what happens in our country.
