Mexican trucks already travel up to 100 miles inside the US wherever they want anywhere along the border. Now the rest of the country gets to share the joys of being a Border community.

“Mexican trucks already travel up to 100 miles inside the US”

AP is saying 20 miles?

‘Canadian trucking companies have full access to U.S. roads, but Mexican trucks can only travel about 20 miles inside the country at certain border crossings such as ones in San Diego and El Paso, Texas.’

When I lived in TX 6 years ago it was 100 miles. I think it still is. Wouldn’t be the first time Ap got it wrong.

2. Terrorists.

3. Bombs belonging to the terrorists.

I sincerely want to apologize. It occured to me afterword that I know better than to trust the AP’s numbers. Just wanted to clarify, but then again, what’s 80 miles in the history books anyway :(

The ninth circuit is a collection of the most extreme liberals. The wikipedia entry on them elaborates ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Ninth_Circuit

“According to the most current count, the Ninth Circuit has the highest percentage of active judges appointed by Democratic presidents, with 59%. Until 2003, this percentage was much higher; a political stalemate over judicial nominations subsequently kept several vacancies on the court for several years.

Critics point to this preponderance of appointees of Democratic presidents as evidence that the court has a liberal bias. “

If one wants to see what our country would look like with all three branches run by the RATS. They need not look further.

This is just outrageous and extremely foolish. What possible benefit does this bring to our nation? Maybe lower shipping costs for a few companies?
Just another way to bring US wages down. Anyone that thinks safety standards won’t be compromised is taking more than one drug.
I don’t care about NAFTA and all the stupid theoretical econometric arguments.
We are a sovereign nation and our laws should put our citizen’s interests at the top of the list.
This calamity in the making does not do that.

50 million more illegals and 200 million more anchor babies. If you don't like that idea, you are a racist, bigoted, homophobic, know-nothing, unappeasable, mouth-breathing, anti-American, 2 percenter fringe conservative with neo-nazi leanings (and your mother wears army boots). The Department of Homeland "security" will shortly send out a certificate.

This makes me so sad and so angry.

To those who make decisions, it’s ideology. The rest of us must live with the consequences of those decisions.

First of all, there is a 40 ton Gross Vehicle Weight without permits. If ANY combination vehicle of 26K exceeds this without permits, there are stiff penalties. Also, there are specific limits of axle weights designated and controlled by each state DOT.

As an OTR trucker, I assure you, that any Mexican truck that pulls into a scale in any state that does not conform to that state’s DOT regulations, he/she will be paying some hefty penalties and may be shut down or impounded. States throughout the US will be performing heavy monitoring of Mexican trucks.

Regulating of the trucking industry provides high revenue for the states due to fines.

From the American truckers out there, it will be open season on the Mexican truckers. They are not wanted nor welcomed. I pity the Mexican truckers starting in this program. I predict lots of accidents where Mexicans are run off of the road.

“stiff penalties”

I generally here and feel what you’re saying. I wanted to grab that quote that just happened to be from you, and ask the rethorical question of...

What stiff penalties did the 9/11 hijackers receive?
