Hey all you trucking unions, F U
Anything that is “generally good news” for Humberto, is really bad news for us.
In San Diego the roads near the Otay Mesa port of entry are littered with plastic bottles full of urine. All from the Mexican truck drivers. Coming to your neighborhood soon.
Yeah, one-way, South.
It is hard to believe, but members of our own government actively and knowingly set out to harm the people of this country. The Third World is repeatedly being invited to sack the accumulated wealth of The United States.
That will solve everything. /sarcasm
What could possibly go wrong?
Are they kidding? These trucks will occasionally barf aliens from concealed compartments, deep inside the border.
This measure will promote free trade in undocumented pharmaceuticals and undocumented workers.
I remember living in Southern CA when the unions were sponsoring the banning of the Mexican trucks coming across the border. They used all kinds of scare tactics like visions of them running over children on the way to school and belching traffic into houses full of sleeping kids, ripping up the roads and not paying for it even though CA has weigh stations every so many miles and tolls are paid by tonnage, &c.
The trucks were ultimately banned which diminished (arguably negated) the value of NAFTA as far as Mexican goods are concerned by requiring unnecessary multiple handling of goods in various places.
To me, this is perhaps the one thing Obama is doing that I agree with. Something has got to give in order to improve the lives of Mexicans so they stay in their own country, or even better, want to go home because their economy is taking off and they can make money at home instead.
I know a little about this. When many trucks no longer pass DOT inspections and would cost too much to repair they are sold to Mexicans who take them back home. These trucks were deemed unsafe for use on highways but will be back. The last time this was pushed it was clear the Mexican trucks would NOT BE SUBJECT TO SAFETY INSPECTIONS. So excuse me for doubting “each vehicle would be inspected and certified by highway safety and environmental officials.” Hell police won’t even be able to ask for their driver’s liscence in a pull over.
Looks like the Home Depot lots are going to fill up with MxTrucks again being checked by DPS and TxDot.
The last time they were given free range there wer several really nasty wrecks due to their unsafe practices. Killed some fams.
Dogs must sniff the truck and cargo, EVERY TIME they cross the border.
The Mexican nationals who are driving them MUST pass an annual physical and background check AND submit to urinalysis EVERY TIME they cross the border.
Under those circumstances I would support this allowance.
In this case the name really does fit the Secretary of Transportation; (La Hood ) that was appointed by obama.
What a load of BS!!!
There isn’t a road in California that isn’t filled with mexican semi’s!!!!
They don’t even bust them for safety violations where they crusify american truckers!!!
Ya know, I’ve noticed something over these last two years:
EVERYTHING that 0bama pushes seems to undermine the U.S. in some way.
Hmmmm.....Now why would that be?
