SEPTEMBER 1ST SATURDAY MEXICAN TRUCKS ROLL - TEAMSTERS TRY STAND

THANK YOU GOES OUT TO BOTH ILLEGAL PROTEST AND TO DIGGER'S FOR THE HAT-TIP.

Elitist's ruling party coup d'état.
Mexican trucks will start rolling on Saturday September 1st out of Mexico and onto our highways. You need to understand a few things about the Mexican drivers and their trucks. There is no CDL equivalent to ours, drivers appear as young as 16, drive long distances at low wages and ride in top heavy over weighted outdated trucks. More heartache for this country and its security. President Bush is completely deaf, from the ringing in his ears NAFTA's CAFTA. profit, profit, greed.
How many are unable to speak or read English street signs for direction. No problem they will receive only a warning citation.

WASHINGTON - The Teamsters Union said Wednesday it will ask a federal appeals court to block the Bush administration’s plan to allow Mexican trucks to carry cargo anywhere in the United States.

The union said it has been told by officials in the Transportation Department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that the first Mexican trucks will be coming across the border on Saturday.
Teamsters leaders said they planned to seek an emergency injunction Wednesday from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Good luck as it looks like democracy is fading fast.

Lawmakers said their major concern is whether Mexican trucks, often older than U.S. cargo vehicles, and Mexican drivers will be able to meet rigorous U.S. safety standards.

“We do not need 90,000-pound unguided missiles on our highways,” said Rep. Robin Hayes, R-North Carolina.
