DISQUALIFIER Aug. 28, 2007----In Mexico for trade talks, Perry blasts US immigration policies

MEXICO CITY — Leading a large delegation of Texas executives trying to drum up business in Mexico, Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday criticized the U.S. Congress for failing to pass an immigration bill that would legalize millions of workers. "I don't think this is that difficult an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all the mean rhetoric," Perry said during a break in the third day of meetings with Mexican officials and business executives.

allows Mexican trucks to enter the US and traverse all the way to Canada.

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor.

Dr. Jerome Corsi has been one of the leading voices warning the American public about the consequences of the Trans-Texas Corridor, which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada.

The best-selling author asserts that Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in his state when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project.

"Governor Perry has been 100 percent gung-ho in building this road," says Corsi. "The Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, it voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- [and] Governor Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto."

Corsi says it is unfortunate that there has been political pressure to get the project started. "The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor," he says.

Corsi believes the same pressure will be applied on other states, like Oklahoma, to go along with the project. He suggests that would mean a loss of more American jobs and could pose a threat to U.S. sovereignty.

April 17, 2011----513 People Crammed Into Two Mexican Trucks Bound for US

TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico - Police on Tuesday detained 513 undocumented migrants from Latin America and Asia who were crammed into two trucks bound for the United States, prosecutors in southeast Mexico said. The migrants, from Latin America, Japan, China, India and Nepal, "were traveling in inhuman conditions" in the southeastern state of Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border, the local attorney general's office said in a statement. Police stopped the trucks, carrying 240 and 273 people, on the outskirts of state capital Tuxtla Gutierrez early Tuesday, after they accelerated through a vehicle scanner at a police checkpoint, the statement said. Officers chased down the vehicles shortly afterward, it added.

Police detained the Mexican drivers of the two trucks, and the migrants were provided with aid and food, the statement said. Mexican lawmakers last month unanimously approved a law to "strengthen the protection and security" of migrants amid widespread abuse. Rights groups have long criticized Mexico for failing to protect tens of thousands of migrants, mainly from Central America, trying to cross the vast country to illegally enter the US each year. The gruesome discovery of 72 murdered migrants from Central and South America in northeastern Tamaulipas state last August increased pressure on the government to act. Copyright 2011 AFP.

April 12, 2011----US Taxpayers Pay To Upgrade Mexican Trucks, US Trucks Not So Lucky

FR Posted by Biggirl

A story broke yesterday concerning the retrofit of more than 100 trucks from Mexico that do not meet United States environmental standards. Our federal government is paying to upgrade these trucks, yet when the state of California and the EPA set new rules for US-owned trucks, they fine companies who do not comply.

This post is not about the environment, it concerns how US trucking companies are treated by the federal and state government as compared to Mexican-owned rigs. From AzCentral.com. For air-quality regulators, the border creates a legal barrier.

State and federal agencies can’t force vehicles manufactured and bought in Mexico to comply with U.S. emissions rules, even though the trucks cross into this country.

So the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality tried a different approach, offering to pay Mexican truck owners to replace old mufflers with new catalytic converters that will reduce harmful diesel emissions by up to 30 percent. The project in effect circumvents the more lax Mexican rules about exhaust systems. (Excerpt) Read more at radioviceonline.com

You nailed it. Elmer Fudd can win this election if he or she makes it about Obama.

I judge someone on what they DO, not the B.S. they pass out!

Read this to see just how Mr. Pretty Boy operates!

“This citizen sees Mr. “Fed Up” as little more than Bill Clinton adorned in Republican clothing. It is our sincere hope that Republican primary voters will see past the media glitz and deal a blow to the party establishment’s favorite son and Bilderberg attendee”

Doesn’t anyone else wonder why the media is pushing Perry??

[Gadsden1st]

Please see previous post and educate yourself. You may call it noise, I call it being informed! I am not tied to any canditate, but I refuse to be Bull Sh!tted to vote for a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

[unkus]

You nailed it. “Boxers or briefs” won’t cut it. Obama must be hit hard and relentlesly. He must be put on permanent defense. He’s got absolutely nothing to run on and that message must go out and be presented on a personal level where people who have been dumbed down can understand. The dummies need a trip to the wood shed that will wake them up.

[unkus]

Elmer Fudd can win this election if he or she makes it about Obama.

That’s right. Because Elmer Fudd has done more good for America than 0bama ever did. 0bama is pure evil and America needs a spanking to wake them up to that fact.

Let's see...identify yourself are you gay....is that what upset's you so much. I can't help you because I don't think Perry has a gay group that you can join and feel at "home". BTW...I'm a Texan and don't need educating!

[Clairity]

Just think about this:

Optimistic Obama: "I Got Five-And-A-Half Years More To Go"

[Gadsden1st]

WOW! First, where did that Gay comment come from? You sound like a Democrat. Forget a reasoned argument, just call names! I guess I am also Racist! I want to push old ladies in wheelchairs off cliffs, starve school children, etc. etc. I am pleased to learn YOU don’t need information. It must be nice to “Know it All”. Last post to you, regardless of your reply. I was just trying to give some information that some of YOUR fellow Texans are saying about Perry. I intend to judge those that want to be my President by their record and what they DO and have DONE in the past. Not by what CBS, or some RINO’s or THEY represent.

[DrewsMum]

Not cool to drink & freep. Take that crap to DU...

[RVN Airplane Driver]

You need to learn to read....and I’m far from a democrat...all I said is that the Perry bashers are small in number here on FR but like gays make an enormous amount of noise given their relative small numbers........

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Hey wench..no drinking here.....

[smoothsailing]

Contrary to a couple of dozen Perry bashers here on FR...he has done a great job as Governor...the bashers, much like the gay community are small in number but make a lot of noise!

The Perry bashers are alot like the liberal mob, except they're too small to be a mob, or even a herd. More like a little flock, almost religious in nature.

I've wondered why they are so obsessed with popping up on every Perry thread as if they've been signaled by some secret freepmail. Since they so intensely dislike Perry, why would they continually torture themselves by exposing their tender sensitivities to threads that put Perry in a positive light?

It has to be either that they are members of a secret self-abuse cult or that they are Ron Paul supporters, but I repeat myself.

In any event they are an unusually odd bunch that may require further study. Perhaps we should also consider a name for this freeper subgroup. I've seen no evidence that their affliction is contagious, so a quarantine is probably premature at this time.

[calcowgirl]

Just think about this: Optimistic Obama: "I Got Five-And-A-Half Years More To Go"

Okay. I thought about it.

But it doesn't have anything to do with Perry (unless he is going to volunteer to be Obama's campaign manager).

[dragnet2]

LOL!

[dragnet2]

Liz, ping me to any future posts in this regard.

Thanks.

[dragnet2]

Hey, when does “Day in the life of Perry” thread start?

[smoothsailing]

Very soon, but I won’t ping you, I’ll let you find it on your own, it’s so much more fun for you that way.

[dragnet2]

No doubt...Same thing, over and over and over...
