Thread: Mexican trucks get increased U.S. access

Here it comes, time to quit the pattern of denial. The north American Union is well under way. Any truck drivers or long shoremen better read this.

I'm going to answer this in my adopted language.

Pienso que tu eres el tipo de gente que estas nerviosa de los Mexincanos por que tu no tiene un educion y piensa que los Mexicanos quieren su trabaja.

I pressed one for english, curse this confounded machine.

& I will answer in mine
I hope the trucks are put together with more than bubble gum, beer tops, & rubber bands, the way they have been.

As I said before, our mayor is gearing up for the extra business, probably more 911 calls to answer.

How will the US and the US trucking industry, other than the corporate elites, benefit from allowing the Mexican trucks in?

Exports coming into American ports are, of course, loaded by Americans and picked up by American trucks.

If we let the super highway be built, then, increasingly, exports will come in through Mexican ports, be loaded by Mexicans, and then be transported ANYWHERE in the US on Mexican trucks. So the US trucking industry will increasingly lose that business of transporting exports coming into the US to their destinations.

I would say that would be a MAJOR loss of trucking business to the US trucking companies.

And since most US trucking companies won't even go into Mexico, as most of the trucking business going from the US into Mexico could be handled by cheap backhauls from the increasing miriads of Mexican trucks operating in the US, just how is letting Mexican trucks into the US going to help the US trucking industry?

The real truth needs to come out. This is yet another attempt to sellout America by the corporate elites who own the bush administration, and who probably own Congress for that matter.

Again, how will this help the US and the US trucking industry?

It will destroy the us trucking bus, Jimmy Hoffa jr was raising hell about this on CNN the other day. Not only will it effect truching, but port cities can look for large numbers of layoffs as well.
There are also security concerns as well, seems the entrence port will not be at the borders but as far north as Kansas City, also they will us a system that does not allow for looking inside the trucks. Its some kind of smart pass system. I can see nothing but problems with this and I for one would like to see it brought to a halt! As such, I've been writing to my Reps, however by their responce, this is going to happen!
