Yea , Bush really cares about terrorism , sureeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Any Muzzie with a handful of $$$ could buy his way on to one of those trucks easily.How friggin stupid can this country get ?
Another example how George does not want to seal the borders. If he was really serious about this war on terrorism, the first thing he should have done was to secure our borders.
LOL

we are so screwed as a nation.
these elected reps don’t represent us but the majority of the people don’t really care, even those few that vote. but if you think it’s ok to have jobs taken from americans if a foreigner can do it cheaper then what do you say when your job is up to bid to the lowest bidder? and where does this stop? when wages are brought down to have parity with mexico, then it’s o.k. to bring in haitians or brazilians that will do it cheaper? the big boys sure protect their territory. e.g. bill gates and the pharmaceuticals... no free trade there
All 1.4 million?
The talk from DC is 100 companies. Then the talk on the news is 25 trucks per company. That’s 2500 trucks being approved this 1st year.
We aren’t keeping track of the actual number crossing our borders, why, because we do not have a system in place to count them. What makes anyone think that they will limit themselves to a shabby count of 2500 rigs?
When you look at the trucks coming across that are supposed to limit themselves to 20 miles of the border and then mix in the longline rigs, it would be almost impossible to keep count.
As quick as they can line up return loads, they will be bringing their rigs across the border heading for 48 states and 10 provinces.
These days loads come out of Canada and the US headed for South America and stops in between. Canadian and American drivers bring the load to the US Mexican border. A (20 mile) Mexican truck hauls the trailer across the border, unloads the it and brings back either a loaded or empty trailer.
Then the Canadian and American drivers continue on their way. These are the men and women who will be losing their jobs first
