From the article: “Don’t let anybody get by with saying that NAFTA requires us to admit Mexican trucks because it’s a treaty. It isn’t — NAFTA never complied with the treaty provision in the U.S. Constitution and is merely a law passed by Congress that can be changed or overturned.”

Fast tracked trade agreements can't be changed by Congress. They have to approve or not approve.

Recall how the investor protections in NAFTA were handled. Congress didn't want stop NAFTA, they wanted labor and enviro protections added. So, Clinton negotiated a parallel agreement with the labor and enviro protections. Then, Congress approved both agreements.

ANOTHER NATIONAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE Ohaha's on all fours, all puckered up, facilitating drug cartels and massive invasions of illegals. Obama's Lone Wolf deal with the Mexican president is another suck-up scheme to get votes. (La Raza is watching and waiting.)

===========================================

ACTION ONE Tell Congress to take action to cancel Obama's truck deal with the conniving Mexican president. The House controls all spending.

The Mexican president told Ohaha the truckers are gonna long haul jalapenos and chili peppers. Obama's deals with Mexico to suckup to la Raza for votes will not be tolerated.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS: NAFTA is cited for this outrage. But NAFTA does NOT require the US to admit Mexican trucks-----NAFTA is IS NOT a treaty. NAFTA does not comply with the treaty provision in the US Constitution---it is merely a law passed by Congress that can be changed or overturned. Do not let Ohaha deface the Constitution.”

===================================================

ACTION TWO Congress must also kill the plan to retro-fit Mexican trucks using US tax dollars. The House controls all spending.

BACKSTORY----AMERICA HATING OHAHA STRIKES AGAIN More than 100 trucks from Mexico that do not meet United States environmental standards are to be upgraded with US tax dollars so they can travel US roads. Yet, when California and the EPA set new rules for US-owned trucks, they fine companies who do not comply. US trucking companies are being put down as second class citizens----as Mexican-owned rigs get to suckle at the public teat.

CALL CONGRESS: Capitol switchboard toll free: 800-965-4701 (not sure---may work Thursdays only)
