Perhaps this has been discussed or is banned by Law. But wouldn’t it be simple to have U.S. drivers and tractors pick up safety certified trailers from Mexico at the border and vice versa for goods being shipped to Mexlco. This way everyone is happy and changing tractors for incoming trailers would not work a hardship for anyone and satisfy insurance, safety, and drivers skillrequirements as well as the Teamsters.

Elliot, what you describe was pretty much the status quo before this new system. Trailers were dropped off at the border, inspected, and an American driver picks it up and drives it away.

I’m sure Mexico is letting our guys drive on their side of the border - quid pro quo, right?

This is nothing new. I live on the Central Coast of California, and cannot travel far on the 101 highway or Interstate 5 without seeing trucks from Baja California with Mexican registrations. These trucks have Mexican insignia in spanish and Mexican plates.

Question of the Day: “In order to declare this pilot program a success, what will DoT consider an acceptable level of American casualties?”

Jorge Bush is one step closer to his dream of erasing the border and starting the North American Union.

We are becomming a place where laws are not enforced, politicians are paid off, political correctness is out of control, in short, we are becomming more like Mexico. Ain’t that grand?

We’re a COUNTRY - not just an economic region where people from around the world come to work.

I want us to be a nation, not an employment service for inept, corrupt 3rd world nations like Mexico.

Decade after decade, Mexico can’t improve itself because of it’s statist economy and silly ethnic chauvenism (machismo) and now they have a US president who is obsessed with raising their standard of living, when his job is to work for the American people.

The Mexicans will win, by sheer weight of numbers, they will populate whole states before long, then petition to leave the US and join Mexico. There are enough wimpy, naive Americans who will allow it.

But it seems even worse for the administration. The first incident that happens - an accident, smuggling, security problem, or some sort of conflict - will be laid at the administration’s feet. And rightfully so. And the administration has to know that an incident is unavoidable. That appears to be very bad politics. So I wonder what the ulterior motive is. Must be a political concession to Mexico, but what are we getting back?

Why must American taxpayers continue to fund repairs to our infrastructure so that Mexican truckers can do the work our American truckers are not allowed to do? Mexico has long looked at the U.S. with envy and avarice. We are the innovators, the dreamers, the doers and shakers. They can’t be us, they don’t have the moxie. All they have is the desire. So, with GW’s help, they’ve figured out how to become rich and successful like America. Suck it dry.

It seems as though the message our govt. is sending is this - if you are hispanic, come to the US and do whatever the hell you want to. You have carte blanche.

Fake or stolen ID’s, social security numbers, driver licenses, or drive without one, without insurance, without registration, get a job (we’ll all learn Spanish in order to better “accomodate” your needs), get paid under the table, don’t pay income tax, sign up your children for welfare (social programs), the spineless idiots in the public schools will teach your Mestizo children in Spanish and tell them how proud they should be to be Mexican!

Cinco de Mayo (more like Sink-Hole de Mayo) everyone!
