I don't support setting up IEDs to blow Mexican trucks off of American highways -- nothing justisfies taking innocent life. However, I think we should do everything short of this to shut this down.

part of a bigger picture the feds continue to sell us out and the states fight for citizen rights. in or out of trucks its all the same.
amazing the bad press the states get when they resist.
the trucker thing bill clinton already tried, sending 100's of death traps onto US highways, state troopers sent them back.
was watching some dirt bag politicians on TV last night saying how we dont wana deport the 11 million (a lie its 20 million) illegals here.
bought and paid for by la raza. this is with 10% unemployment, 17.5 million outa work.

It is just another way to destroy American worker's prosperity. So what else is new?

We need to drop NAFTA and China's favored nation status. Then we need to institute countervailing tariffs to negate the advantage of imported products and tax all corporate income derived from offshore investments.

Unfair trade is more effective than War in destroying the prosperity of a manufacturing economy. We have to screw international trade before it finishes screwing us.

1st Mexican truck to enter US interior within days - Yahoo! News
If they can pass inspection, I have no problem with them being here, otherwise forget it.

I hope you don't include Canada in that since it would hurt both our economies and putting massive tariffs on Canadian Oil would be counter productive and would hurt both our economies.

Because both Canada and the US have yet to annouce the final version of the SPP.

Yes, Thank Clinton indeed!

Of course, Ronald Reagan called for such an agreement while campaigning in 1979, and George H.W. Bush ended up doing most of the negotiating. It fell to Clinton to sign an agreement sought by two prior Conservative presidents.

Anyway, I am not too worried about it. Only ten or so Mexican companies have been approved for operating in the US, due to the strict guidelines they must meet.
