On Thursday, following a meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, President Obama announced that Mexican trucks will once again, be rolling across the border into the interior of his country.
A provision in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the border was to be opened to Mexican truckers, bringing goods in from Central and South America, as well as from Mexican ports. In June 2006, Jerome Corsi writing for Human Events reported on the NAFTA super highway. The proposed road would bring Mexican trucks over the border without a customs inspection until those trucks reach Kansas City. Corsi correctly characterized the border becoming simply a “speed bump” once the highway is finished. The road will cross the heartland of the U.S., eventually ending in Canada. In 2007, that became a reality. Mexican trucks began coming into this country every day, without being inspected at the border. The potential for large shipments of drugs, illegal aliens, and even terrorists being carried in those trucks was tremendous. The NAFTA super highway is in fact a smuggler´s dream come true. Congress eventually ended the flow of Mexican trucks over the border due to overwhelming safety under pressure from the U.S. trucking industry, and overwhelming safety concerns However, Obama has now lifted the ban even as Mexico’s drug cartels battle one another for control of smuggling routes into the U.S., routes used for both the lucrative drug and human smuggling trades. It is obvious that the most dangerous threat to this nation does not emanate from the Muslim world, nor from a former Cold War enemy, our most dangerous threat is now Mexico. Time and time again, the government of Mexico has proven its complicity with the millions who enter this country illegally, considering the widespread corruption in that country…opening this nation’s heartland to untold numbers of Mexican trucks will translate into more crime, more drugs, more illegal aliens and fewer jobs for the American people.

Trucks going through the border without detailed custom's inspections is insane.

The only thing they run the trailer through is an x-ray tunnel. My concerns are for the folks out of work here. Those trailers could be transferred to US truckers. One important thing, Mexican trucks don't have to pass DOT safety inspections. |
