There was a bill passed in the House to stop this pilot program which bill was never addressed with a Senate version. What the Senate did was attach something to the back of a spending bill allowing the implementation of the program. When you call the Senators about answering the House bill they say it's no use as it's a done deal.

I'd like to see us crush that corrupt oligarchy in Mexico once and for all, and give them a reprise of the first Mexican-American war, so they can understand why Aztlan does not belong to Mexico.

We will have more unemployement and more trucks being turned back to dealers. Yeah the agreement is , US Drivers can drive in Mexico now. Have you driven in Tijuana or Mexicali lately ?

Think about this friends; we all pay taxes for road repairs and the Trucking community pays double for the use of the highways, and then we hear " we have no money to repair the all ready torn up street in SD. Again, they are going to take the money and run. NAFTA is the devil gang.

What would you do and how will you feel when a member of your family is killed or wounded by substandard trucks and non regulated drivers. This is a recipe for disaster. It's as obvious as the immigration reform bill that Bush tried to force down our throats. Now he is urging nonsense like this.

Billy wrote on Aug 31, 2007 8:25 AM: The trailers must be inspected anyway. It seems to me that a USA tractor could hook up and haul it into the US. We need the work in addition to the border security and safety on the highways. Could safety on the highways be one of the reasons for moving the inbound from Mexico cargo from a Mexican trailer to a USA trailer? Are we sure that Cunningham is in jail?

Free Trader wrote on Aug 31, 2007 8:27 AM:Here is a NAFTA style free trade agreement for trucking; 1 Mexican owned long haul truck can travel past the current limit for each 10,000 illegals that return to Mexico, at Mexico's expense. This would allow anywhere from 1200-2000 trucks in. The government can keep a running tab of how many trucks can enter on a daily basis like controlling the number of cars allowed into a parking lot with limited parking spaces, 10,000 illegals out = 1 truck in. Sounds like a win-win to me!!!!!

Even when U.S. citizens start being killed by Mexican truckers, the media will suppress it. Don’t expect a lot of help from U.S. truckers either, they will be busy fighting to make a living competing with Mexican truckers. We have activist judges restricting the DHS on no match letters and allowing Mexican truckers to run loose on U.S. highways. Have we not learned yet by all those killed by illegal alien drunk drivers? I guess not. So can someone tell me what the butchers bill on drunk driving deaths at the hands of illegal aliens has to be before we, our government, or anyone says enough.

Concerning impeachment: wrote on Sep 1, 2007 11:25 AM: From the Constitution: "The President - - - shall be removed from office on Impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and Misdemeanors." Impeachment is to bring him to trial, and then if found guilty, of any of those things mention above, he can be removed from office. Being incompetent is not a crime. Rest assured that if he had committed a crime the current congress would be on him like white on rice. So buck up, and bare with it until the next election. And, if you can find amongst both Democrats and Republicans an acceptable candidate who has the experience and knowledge enough to do a better job, vote for him. Impeachment at this time would mean that the vice President would become the President! Hold on there!

Concerning NAFTA; wrote on Sep 1, 2007 11:48 AM: If NAFTA and other business arrangements and trade agreements, our government has made with other countries that ships work out of the USA, remain in effect for one more generation, we in the USA will be able to manufacture only with great difficulty. We will have forgotten how to manufacture. Starting up again will require "manning up" and "tooling up" which will mean new people learning how to do the job again without knowledgeable people to teach. The manufacturing industries learned that lesson during the 1990s down sizing. It will take more generations to start up again than it took us to surrender our ability to make things. When a country stops progressing they go into a limbo period until another country that has been progressing takes them over. Without progress a country starts a process of working themselves down to a level of a "third world country."

He said that most Mexican trucking companies that deliver to the U.S. already struggle with high insurance rates, longer lines at the border and a lack of credit. Ortega added that most Mexican truckers cannot read signs in English, are unfamiliar with the U.S. highway system and lack the knowledge to find cargo for a return trip to Mexico.

We have let so much go on for so many years that we as US citizens have lost control of what we went to war for so many years ago... our own freedom. It is now time to stand up for ourselves and make ourselves heard... I am not saying go to war or anything but we created and built the system that is now hurting us more then helping us...so it is time to unplug it and reboot it. It has a virus and that virus is the Bush administration... Time to break out the Anti-virus and purge our country of what is doing damage to it... This is so much more then just truckers from mexico it goes so much deeper then that. How could we not expect something like this? I mean serious! How stupid are we? We allow allians to come to our country and we feed them and clothe them give them jobs and support them and thier families and what do they do take our money and send it back to thier families everywhere else. I lived in california for some time and went to mexico a couple times and they stopped us and checked our car for fruit and such.... why? If we are just going to let them bring anything they want into our country then why? Think about how many trucks will get threw to us with hundreds of illegals in them where they are not being inspected and such we might as well take down the borders and let them all in...There is no issues with the people that come here and get a green card and pay taxes and such, they are doing what is asked of them. It is the fact that we have such a problem with those that don't follow our rules and laws... Now we have just givin them a way in without fear. The mexican government has no issues with this. They in more ways then not support the illegals comming here and taking our money and jobs and sending it back.... Mexico is a third world by choice, they choose to be this way. They have the means and resources to be otherwise but choose not to be anything but a corrupt ceespool of drugs and control.... Let them deal with what they have created not us...As a citizen of the united states I believe we have a system of government that will work if used correctly.It is up to us to say enough is enough, we need to stand together and focus on our own country and our government and make some serious changes... Nothing last forever and everything as we know it gets updated and revised. Well it is time to break out the plans and update ourselves, our country, our government ...OUR FREEDOM

What does the corrupt leadership of Mexico have on Senor Bush???!!!!

Then the high tech industry bribed our government via political contributions to allow the importation of "skilled workers" that are replacing "American skilled workers". An education in a professional field doesn't exempt you from being "replaced" by an import willing to work for half the salary. The American people have the power to put a stop to this but all I hear is lip service with very little action. We have the best government money can buy!
