Thread: Mexico plans to send trucks across border this month

Funny thing to add is that the US is the biggest retail market in the world!
Well its only like that because we DID have great jobs and a great economy!
Well if our jobs are being outsourced and undercut by cheaper labor through illegal and "work" programs, Americans won't go shopping anymore and will decrease our market size to nearly nothing! With inflation, rising taxes, rising insurance, rising energy, and rising food costs, what money will we have left over???

If our government is on the way of taking our money away it will be easier for them to line us up like cattle as we beg for a bone!!!

I'm still waiting for some good points to this for the American worker?

Who I'm I kidding there is none!!!

They send down billions of our tax dollars to fix up Mexico! NAFTA and the SPP is killing our country!!!

I'm confused...I thought there was an indefinite moratorium on this catastrophe waiting to happen. Since when does Mexico decide that they are going to start at the end of the month???

I would suggest that the US put a tracking device on every truck and an American co-driver in the passenger seat of every truck to monitor the activities of these invaders. 37 trucks...37 bonded and insured American security guards.

The Mexican trucksers are going to have electronic monitoring equipment on it whether its passive or not I don't know. Also I'm not sure if GPS is add to this as well? Everything in our country is done half assed so we will see what happens with this?

Plan to Allow Some Mexican Trucks Full U.S. Highway Access Nears Approval
Friday , August 17, 2007

WASHINGTON —

Some Mexican trucks will be allowed to carry cargo anywhere in the United States as soon as a federal inspector general certifies safety and inspection plans, the Bush administration announced Friday.

The latest step toward implementing a controversial provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement drew instant condemnation from labor and driver-owner groups that fear the program will erode highway safety and eliminate U.S. jobs.

The decision was announced by a Transportation Department notice in the Federal Register, a dry, daily compendium of new federal rules read mostly by lobbyists and lawyers.

A one-year demonstration project allowing 100 Mexican motor carriers full access to U.S. roads will begin as soon as the department's inspector general certifies that safety and inspection plans and facilities are sufficient to ensure the Mexican trucks are at least as safe as U.S. trucks. That requirement was imposed by Congress.

Mexican trucks are now confined to commercial zones within about 25 miles of the border.

The inspector general's report to Congress is expected soon. The agency said it would complete any remedial actions he requested before beginning the program.

Teamster Union president Jim Hoffa questioned the timing — during Congress' August recess — of the administration's decision "to move forward with its hugely unpopular program to throw open our borders to unsafe Mexican trucks." Hoffa noted that the House voted last month to cut off funding for the program but that the Senate has yet to vote.

Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, said the administration had only minimally complied with congressional directives but not with "the spirit of what Republicans and Democrats in Congress intended."

The Transportation Department acknowledged that most of the 2,300 public comments on the project challenged its safety and economic effects. But the agency concluded the demonstration, involving about 10 percent of the Mexican truckers who applied, "is sufficient to determine whether the safety oversight program" can ensure there will be no erosion of highway safety.

BREAKING NEWS: FMCSA proceeding with cross-border plan Friday, Aug. 17, 2007 –

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced this morning its intent to move ahead with the Mexican truck pilot program. In a 27-page notice in the Federal Register, the agency also reported that a necessary piece of final paperwork has been submitted to Congress and is expected to be made public any day.

After being stubbornly silent on the project, in the Aug. 17 Federal Register, agency officials reacted with a statement that FMCSA has “reviewed, assessed and evaluatedâ€

The Teamsters did try to stop this along with some others, they know that if the mexicans come threw its history for the trucking industry, they filed a lawsuit some time ago, Bush has his mind made up.. We need to hammer our Reps and say Hell No To Mexico !!!!!!!!!
