1st Mexican truck to enter US interior within days - Yahoo! News

Great This could turn into more Jobs being outsourced. Not to mention another way for the Cartels to smuggle drugs and Illegals.

Amen to you, and yes you are right. Those that believe that obama cares about our unemployment, and safety of Americans after this, are quite the fool.
Obama doesn't give a damn about us Americans, face the fact?

ongoing battle between DC and the states. DC wants to allow unsafe vehicles to enter us to delivery goods. the states wont let them. its that simple. the standards for mexico and that of the US are not the same. think not? go buy some flooring tile in mexico and compare it to home depot here. they can do it to our standards but if they dont have to, they wont.

How do they handle the licensing requirements? Not sure which is more strict Canadian or US but for example in the US if you have a CDL you also need medical card. For hazmat you need to retest for the license, if you're driving a tanker you need tanker endorsement etc.

The trucks can be inspected but if Mexico is handing out licenses in Cracker Jack boxes....

It most certainly does. Obama did all the groveling he could to the Mexican government to push this crap through. To hell with Americans and jobs for Americans. He's got his globalist masters to please.
