as for the trucks. They will be driving broken down, unroadworthy, high mileage clunkers that were sold to Mexican companies when the American company deemed them as such.

The Union's Attorney, Leslie Miller, says there are valid questions about the reliability of Mexican trucker's driving records.

Miller: Just because we have a free trade agreement doesn't mean people can come to our country and do business in a way that doesn't meet our standard. "Before providing unconditional access throughout the country to tens of thousands of big rigs we know little to nothing about, we must insure they meet safety and environmental standards."

Let's face it, the Foxes are not watching the chicken shack, they are IN the chicken shack. Things could get downright scary..........

I must be missing something here.

Do the Mexican trucks not have to follow the same rules as US and Canadian drivers that haul across our Northern border?

Do log books and inspections get waived or something?

Exactly. My brother in law was a teamster driver for years. He got his helecopter piolet's license and gave up trucking because he saw this happening five years ago.

It's a Bilderberg deal. The company building the road in Texas is a Spanish construction company owned by a Bilderberg member. The Chinese are building deep water ports in Mexico and they will run truck shipments from Mexico using scab Mexican truck drivers all the way into Canada. Basically slaves make the goods and slaves distribute them and the global elite get the profits.

Slavery is comming back folks and most people don't even see it happening. The arrogance of the Bush Administration has waken some people up but I hope we aren't too late. We need to take our govt. back.

The Mexican trucks are supposed to follow our rules but I highly doubt they will. This will be an enforcement nightmare for the US DOT.

James P. Hoffa

Federal officials have confirmed that the first Mexican truckers have been given authorization to run their long-haul rigs throughout the United States under the Department of Transportation's Mexican trucking demonstration project.

The word came during a late-night surprise teleconference held by John Hill, the administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. He told selected reporters that Transportes Olympic of Nuevo Leon was the first company to be given the authorization.

"This program was literally announced under the cover of darkness," James P. Hoffa said in a Teamsters press release issued by his office today. "I have no doubt the Bush administration knows how angry the American people are about it."

Hoffa continued, "I cannot understand why George Bush is jeopardizing the safety and security of the American people."

Uh, Jim.....

When has he ever done anything ELSE???

Of course now that Hoffa Jr. has said so on the record, he'll probably be reunited with his dad.

If the trucks need to meet the required standards and log book regulations how is does it endanger lives?

Bush is out of his fucking mind. You know when you've pissed off everyone from paleocons to libertarians to Teamsters to The Seirra Club, you might as well hand over the keys and leave town. I voted for Bush, and this guy has become an assclown in ways that Bill Clinton couldn't fantasize about in a wet dream.
