Are those really the worry?
Gary Clyde Hufbauer, an economist at the Peter G. Peterson Institute for International Economics, said another way opponents might be able to halt the program is by attaching conditions to a “fast-track” trade authority bill sought by the president.
But he doubts such a provision would gain enough support in Congress unless opponents “can find some huge mischief” resulting from the program, such as drug smuggling or an accident involving a Mexican truck.
Hufbauer supports opening the border to Mexican trucks and said any further delays would be a blow to NAFTA.
It is not “if” it is “when” those things happen Mr. Hufbaur. And even then you and your ilk will line up to excuse and absolve.
You are ruining America.

The inspection of cargo is the same as before, the difference is it isn’t unloaded and reloaded into different trucks.
U.S. drivers will also carry cargo into Mexico, so I’m not sure I see the union’s beef in this case.
