Tamaulipas would like to improve the speed with which people and cargo cross between the two states and improve the communication between the two sides on bridge and road issues, said Amira Gomez Tueme, Speaker of the House for the Tamaulipas Congress.

She also wants to encourage Texas to work with the U.S. federal government to allow Mexican visitors to stay in the United States as long as Canadians with similar visas can, she said.

Improving transportation between the two states will simplify the way Tamaulipas residents live their lives, she said.

This entire thing is making me ill.

***We now have Mexican trucks coming into the U.S. WITHOUT being checked!!!!!!! INSANE

"Simplify the Mexican's lives?"

my brain's fried

I agree.

Tamaulipas would like to improve the speed with which people and cargo cross between the two states and improve the communication between the two sides

There is nothing wrong with the speed......the problem is that it is going in one direction--north.

I'll second that.

I agree with all of your thoughts and I'm as double L hockey sticks that elected representatives are allowing, accepting and even promoting this kind of meddling and treason.

The Tamaulipas lawmakers have NO BUSINESS providing ANY INPUT to how we run our borders .. or our country!

BTW, were the services of a translator required?

According to NAFTA after it was signed, Mexican Trucks were allowed to
come 20 miles past the border into the USA, but that was for a certain number of years.

After that they were to be allowed full access to all of the USA, but the Teamsters put up such a howl....and they won so far, to keep them out.

They claim that the trucks are not as safe as ours and their drivers not as trained as those in the Teamsters.

Where this is now, I am not certain, haven't heard anything recently.

But it was one more thing we gave away in NAFTA that didn't benefit the American people.

Why do we keep signing treaties that do not benefit us???????
