114 in HOUSE OBJECT TO MEXICAN TRUCKS ...
Here is a good start for our newest battle.....
114 in House object to Mexican trucks
By Sean Lengell
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 4, 2007
A bipartisan group of more than 100 House members is urging President Bush to halt a plan to give Mexican truckers full access to U.S. roads, saying it would compromise national security and provide a way for foreigners to enter the country illegally.
"The U.S. Congress and the American people seriously question the ability of Mexican motor carriers and drivers to adhere to our country's strict safety rules, as well as the administration's preparedness and willingness to ensure Mexican truck drivers obey our homeland security and immigration rules," said a letter signed by 114 House members and sent to the White House on Monday.
The letter was drafted by Reps. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, and Nancy Boyda, Kansas Democrat, and co-signed by 61 Democrats and 51 Republicans.
"I believe our roads will be less safe with this program, and this isn't theoretical; it's a probability," Mrs. Boyda said. "It does make me furious."
She said yesterday that she wasn't aware of any White House response to the letter.
Mexican-registered trucks are allowed to make deliveries and pickups in the United States only within special commercial zones that extend up to about 70 miles inside the border.
Several months ago, Mr. Bush announced a Department of Transportation test program that would permit 100 Mexican-based trucking companies to travel anywhere in the United States. An equal number of U.S. trucking companies would be allowed to make deliveries and pickups in Mexico.
Participating Mexican companies must be insured with a U.S.-licensed firm and meet all U.S. safety standards.

Plus each illegal could carry in 10-50 pounds of drugs.
The corruption, bribes and other payoffs behind this must be HUGE. I fear they might grow large enough to where the top dogs of the truckers' union can be bought off.
DuhDuh
