It must then grant qualifying carriers provisional operating authority. This will help increase trade between our countries," Secretary Norman Mineta said in a news statement. Again when you only have a choice of vanilla or chocolate this is the leadership that you get. The NWO, Burgerbuilders, Illuminuttys, all need to keep their interest moving closer to their goals all the time. Only about 12 months until primary time, best get him well known. And, on top of all that, American truckers will now have to face cheaper competition in the labor force. Clinton subsequently pandered to union pressures to reneg. This irritated Mexicans, and that harmed our business interests. Hopefully President Bush has put adequate safeguards in place to keep the riff raff out and the commerce flowing though. Making America "more competitive" by obliterating the Middle Class.

And, on top of all that, American truckers will now have to face cheaper competition in the labor force. The cost of our uninsured motorist coverage is going to go way up. About time we quit bowing our knees at the feet of the interstate trucking industry. The xenophobia of some in our conservative community is unwarranted. Making some common sense moves and agreements with friends is important. On a TOTALLY unrelated subject, I believe all this flak about Saudi Arabia is going to be proven to be much ado about nothing. We will win the War on Terror, and I believe the Saudis, whose self-interest alone dictates they back the winning team, are playing along in covert ways. But, he will lose untold thousands to millions of conservative votes. Especially, once our citizens start being slaughtered on our interstates. As well, GW had better pray no terrorist attacks are done by the mexican trucks, coming into the US by muslim drivers.

I'd not read too much into Mexicans' convenient silence on the moron issue. NAFTA also created cross-border working groups on vehicle standards and safety, and Mexico agreed to improve safety at home. But the safety provisions of NAFTA, predictably, have no teeth, because the timelines for both partial and full commercial access were not linked to any progress in the safety of Mexico's trucking fleet. Last January, President Clinton explained that the Mexican highway inspections and monitoring system was inadequate to assure safety.

Naw, British, Irish, Italians, French, Spanish, they ALL hate Americans more than Canadians. Do Mexicans have any baseball or hockey teams that play in the US and vice versa? Another thing, over there they actually report the news, unlike Mexico, where much of the news is censored. Listen for them to be refering to Bush as the grande, gringo, estupido, Presidente Pendejo con no cojones. And, on top of all that, American truckers will now have to face cheaper competition in the labor force. Insurance companies are very strict with commercial trucking and will not insure unsafe trucks. Since Mexican trucks (not like the pictures posted on this thread) need to qualify under the Department of Transportation, show proof of insurance and provide 90 day inspection reports, and then undergo an inspection by the California Highway Patrol before they cross the border, where's the problem? And, on top of all that, American truckers will now be able to travel into Mexico to pick up cargo! And just what do you plan to do with all the drugs and illegal aliens these trucks will bring with them? And how do you expect American truckers, many of them suffering economic hardships as it is to compete with this cheaper labor? If you say that none of these poblems are going to happen, you're in denial. The blood of patriots waters the tree of liberty, but only at the very end.
