Thread: Mexico threatens tariffs against U.S.

The Teamsters are a pretty tough bunch. Everyone who is union would support the Teamsters in whatever they wanted us to do. It will be interesting to see how the teamsters plan to stop this attack on them.

YES TEAMSTERS ARE TOUGH AND STRONG. BUT THATS HOW OTHER UNIONS WERE BROKEN DOWN. BY IMPORTING SCAB LABOR. AND THAT WHAT LETTING IN MEXICAN TRUCKERS CONTSTITUTES.....SCAB LABOR. SO WE CANT LET IT HAPPEN.

TO BREAK DOWN THE TEAMSTERS UNION. AMERICAN TRUCKERS WILL HAVE TO COMPETE WITH WAGES PAID TO MEXICAN DRIVERS.

that is one reason, but they "mexicans" have already undercut american truck drivers. My brother being one. He used to be a truck driver, making decent pay... until the illegals came... he had to get out of the business because of LOW LOW LOW wages he was being undercut by..

friggin ridiculous.... really ridiculous...

and that didn't take into account when he did go back to work for sh*t wages, the office help gave all the best pickups to the mexicans and they treated him like dirt... and yes, they were mostly hispanic in the office..

Bring on your tariffs. More Americans will finally realize what a dirtbag country you are and that you're no ally of this country. I promise to read the label on everything I buy and if it says "Made in Mexico", it goes back on the shelf. Buy your own crap goods.

Mexico's response is exactly like Castro or China would react. They are angry becuase the citizens of this country run this country, unlike theirs where they circumvent their own laws and dictate to get what they want. I hope this thing becomes a real pain in the neck for the WTO, NAFTA and the NAU! I don't see how any of these organizations are going to survive with such greed running rampant. Maybe these organizations are destined to empload. Won't let my gaurd down until then.

This enables Mexico to export more unemployment. Mexican drivers are less expensive than American drivers. It would be easier to smuggle drugs and people into the USA.

...you can pack hundreds of "undocumented Americans" and thousands of pound of drugs into them.

Well, maybe everytime a Mexican truck comes across the border into the 25 mile limit, the U.S. should sock'em with a hefty fee.

Maybe to facilitate the transfer of people across this country. There have been many semis caught with illegals as part of the cargo.
