Globalization translated really means the road to third world status for America.

Kaptur believes the new road would enable Chinese exporters to funnel goods bound for the United States into Mexican ports, like Lazaro Cardenas, instead of ports in California.

What's wrong with that? The stevedores union in California doesn't want to let west coast ports operate 24 hours a day.

I’d rather let goods travel freely and for the Mexican economy to create good jobs that keep people in Mexico than have uncontrolled immigration from Mexico to the US.

Between Governor Good Hair, Bush, and Gonzales, they’d all like to wipe out the border completely.

I’m all for free trade, but we have to protect our country.

Even the normally pro-illegal Wall St. Journal is against the Mexican trucks.

NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) has already done its destructive work. It has “funneled” jobs to Mexico.

The Mexican side of the border with the U.S. is lined with factories producing manufactured goods formerly made in America. The reason for the relocation of factories on the Mexican side of the border is that labor is cheaper.

Goods made in Mexico are then trucked to American markets.

Our government and American captains of industry are unaware that as jobs go south, Americans will have less money to buy cheap goods from Mexico or anywhere else.

When the International Superhighway comes into being I would warn people not to drive on it. The trucks operating on such a highway will be less safe as untrained, less-qualified drivers, who are sleepy and uninsured creep up on your rear bumper.
