So many are in terrible condition that they should not be on US highways.

Yes, I do. Let me tell you what happened recently in Brownsville, Texas. One driver from Mexico overturned his truck full of chemicals into the ship channel there. There were tons of dead fish and the area had to be evacuated.
Letting these drivers into the U.S. is a catastrophe looking to happen.
I am hoping DOT will take notice and start fining them until they get the message that it just isn't worth them traveling in the U.S.
They have put alot of hard working truck drivers out of work

I knew this was coming for a while, and have always been dead set against it. One their trucks are a mess, they are in bad mechanical condition. They usually do not have insurance.
What are you going to do when you get in an accident with a Mexican driver, without insurance. He is going to be on the other side of the border. They do not have the English language skills to read the road signs. This is so wrong on so many levels. Lets keep the Mexican truck drivers out of the USA!!!!! People have been fighting this for years. But they let them through anyway.

Almost all of their trucks that are here are in good shape except for the farm trucks that they use on the farms. The things that I don't like is the fact that so many people don't have car insurance. Another thing, so many of the street signs now have 2 languages on them. And also when you buy any thing now, the manual is so thick because it has more than just English language in it. They have to use smaller print now to get it all on their and the print is getting to small to even read now.

Actually, trucks on american roads must meet american standards regardless of their point of origin. A global economic environment is upon us and has been building steaily since the 1960's, we need to look upon this as an exciting opportunity, and not, a xenophobic exercise in that the economic sky is falling down.

Yes! While we are at this...can we do something about this border which is a gateway for all manner of ills in our country?
I live in Texas and i can tell you that there has to be a solution soon as people and local towns are starting to take such matters into their own hands! This can get a little risky when you have farmers who have all this land and his cattle and such are being killed so the illegals can eat! Most of us would give a stranger food. However, I think it is the thrill of thieving from us...I cannot figure this one out!

We should slam the brakes!!! They do not need to follow the same inspection and emission requirements or pay property taxes that we do on our own vehicles. Hmmm .... maybe I should drive down to Mexico to register my car! Maybe I could hide a few illegals inside and make some extra money too.

Their Mexican trucks, of course their gonna be crap, why do you think even the criminals are coming over here, they can't put up with it anymore, why should we. Chances are half the trucks would be bringing in more illegal imigrants any way. I think we should just build a big wall across the whole border and not let ANYONE through either way It's called isolationism. then take all the illegal immigrants and ship them back. they have absolutely no right to be here anyway. they complain that we're infringing on their rights when they don't have rights, their not American citizens, their criminals, they came here ILLEGALLY. and the trucks would just make it worse.

Yes. Stop them before the first death not after the first death.
Their drivers, trucks and trailers should have to be certified just the same as our drivers, trucks and trailers.
Their drivers should have to be able to read, write and speak fluent English.

YES !! Our trucks must pass inspection, as well as the drivers need to be physically in good condition and trained. Also any trucks and persons crossing the border need to be searched for contraband.
