This is about as dumb as nixing the Dubai Ports deal.
“This is about as dumb as nixing the Dubai Ports deal.”
Kindly elucidate please.
You think it is dumb to prevent Mexican trucks from crossing the country?
I haven’t read this thread so don’t know what comments have been made but Texas cities, ranchers and farmers are up in arms about having their acreage divided by a French owned toll road. They won’t be able to cross from one side to the other!!
A road that is eventually expected to start way down in Mexico and end up in Canada. The Chinese have already been buying ‘ports’ in those countries.
This is all tied together with allowing other countries trucks free access to our country, long term in the making as it may be.
Perhaps I have misunderstood your comment!
I'm not sure what you are getting at. My observations, from the roads, and streets inside the 25 mile zone the Mexican trucks have been operating in for the past dozen plus years.
Many of what they call trucks resemble what you'd find in a junk yard in this country, tires so bald, cords are exposed, air brake systems with constant air leaks, wheels, brake shoes, and drums coated with oil, and dirt from leaking seals, engines slobbering oil all over the road.
We are told that the trucks crossing out of the 25 mile zone will be in good condition, that sounds good, but that's not how things work with Mexicans, they will try anything they think they can get away with, and then some.
What's to prevent the junk from venturing beyond the 25 mile limit? The same thing that prevents illegals from jumping the border?
I suppose you’re also a member of the Harriet Miers glee club.
