What Is Goin’ On?

Can anyone explain to me why Mexican truckers have unrestricted access to American highways?

Is it really provided for in NAFTA?

Did President Bush really sign an order September 1 allowing this?

This isn’t just about the economic effects of Mexican truckers taking over American jobs. What about the effect on border security? I thought we were in a war on terrorists!

And if you don’t think this is a threat to your health, wait until you meet one of these guys–driving on your side of the road.

When (and it is only a matter of time) they kill you or maime you, who will you sue? Nobody in America! Maybe this is an effort by American companies to avoid all liability for bad drivers.

Do they have insurance to cover their liability for negligence like American truckers do?

Can they even read the damn road signs? What makes you think they can?

Anyone inspecting the vehicles they are driving to determine if it is in good working order? Is it a safe vehicle?

Whether it is the federal DOT or some other agency, the buck stops with George W. Bush, the worst president in the world.

And do you see the connection with immigration reform? Do you see why they don’t want to build a fence? Because the powers that be are determined to undermine our economy even further and create the United States of North America.

I will not vote for or support any candidate for president that supports this kind of crap. It is truly disgusting. I hope everyone is offended by this total breach of security and national sovereignty as I am.

Our government has no intention to protect us from China or Mexico. All the progress we made in the last 50 years insuring that the products we buy don’t kill us is just going down the drain.

Right now, John Edwards seems to be the candidate with a sensible position.

And then on top of that, the news tonight (CNN-Lou Dobbs) is that the Border Patrol at busy crossings like El Paso, TX have been told not to conduct thorough inspections of vehicles entering the U.S. from Mexico. Speed over security!! That is just nuts. Worse than nuts, but I won’t say it, but to myself. Why don’t we just publish a pamphlet for terrorist: “How to Cross the U. S. Border Without any Hassle!”
