This has not kept us safe.
I hate to tell you this but Pelosi and Obama are about to give amnesty to all the illegals here now. That guarantees them 12-20 million new votes. Trucks entering to bring in goods to the US pales in comparison to what they have planned next.

Ignoring the border is nothing compared to what MS Pelosi has in store for the legal US citizens. Say hello to your new brothers and sisters from Mexico. Amnesty rules!

I agree 100% - allowing Mexican truckers into the US was a terrible decision - with their deplorable safety record - many Americans would have died - and American truckers would be put out of business.

Go Obama!!! Now THIS is the kind of Change I voted for!!!

And Mexico ought to realize it has much more to lose in a trade war with us than we do with them. They better watch out about slamming tariffs on our products - because if we do the same to them - their economy comes to a grinding halt...

where was that written? I didn't see that reported ANYWHERE...backup please or is this an assumption? Another poster accused democrats of fear mongering, but the statement above is a clear indication that this is coming from both sides.

Um why are other countries trucks coming into our country. Anyone interesting in making this easier is up to something and I dont trust them.
Next we will build highways for them with no border checks so they can just come in.
Oh thats right we have the plans to do that already sorry I forgot.

Are you serious? Have you not been listening to the news lately? The Mexican war is spilling over into the United States. So if he don't protect the boarders by putting a hold to the trucks crossing and things get worst you'll be B'tching. Which one is it? He's protecting our boarders and the American People to try and put a stop to the flow before it gets any worse.

Dang, .
