In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise.

Apparently “free” trade has a bum leg and needs a crutch.
Must.....control.....anger.....and.....rage. See my tagline below.
Guess our tax dollars will go for fixing the brakes on Mexican trucks, which may save a few of us when they come through town. And AC in the back will keep the illegals comfy as they head through Texas in the summer, bound for a city near you.
Does anyone know what the source was for the report?
I will admit that I don’t know the source of the information but .. I believe that Judicial Watch does it’s best to verify what it puts it’s name on.
We need to rid ourselves of the traitous scum in DC. how do the truckers of the US feel about this arrogant despicable move?
The motto of Judicial Watch is “Because no one is above the law”.
To this end, Judicial Watch uses the open records or freedom of information laws and other tools to investigate and uncover misconduct by government officials and litigation to hold to account politicians and public officials who engage in corrupt activities.
This way they can replace American trucker jobs and run the small independents ,who pay to maintain their own trucks, out of business.
Obama has pushed auto jobs and oil jobs to Mexico. Anyway to knock America down and equalize us in the world.
Keep in mind that they are talking about the shuttle trucks that shuttle goods back and forth across the border, not OTR trucks.
Also keep in mind that are no US shuttle trucks, only Mexican junker shuttle trucks. The whole point of using the junker mexican trucks is to keep the cost down.
More and more, I believe we don’t deserve the country our ancestors left for us.
What about taxes and insurance? Those are the real costs of operating a truck in the US.

There is one other huge problem with this truck agreement. It was supposed to be reciprocol and allow US trucks to deliver loads in Mexico, but Mexico has become too dangerous for US trucks to travel safely there, so very few do.
Thank You.
I have found that Google does a better job of finding the posts here.
Unfortunately, I didn’t use it this time.
Using a key word or two from the title does pretty well also but I agree the search function isn’t always reliable. Mexican gets the following:

A much better result.
