As if we needed any more good news, Mexican trucks are now going to roll deep into America to start making deliveries in the next few days.

 From  CNS News:

 The first Mexican carrier is set to roll into the U.S. interior within days, but American trucking union leaders and two California congressmen aren’t giving up on stopping the cross-border trucking program.

U.S. Reps. Duncan Hunter and Bob Filner say they’ll take a bipartisan stand at the border Wednesday in San Diego to voice concerns about the bilateral pilot project that will allow approved Mexican trucks to come deep into the United States. Hunter is a San Diego-area Republican, while Filner is a Democrat whose district includes California’s border with Mexico.

 You have got to be kidding me.  How many illegals are going to be smuggled in through these trucks?  How many kilos of drugs?  How many Americans are going to die because Mexican trucks are not maintained?  How many Americans are going to loose their jobs because the Mexican trucks are going to be able to undercut American businesses?

 The first truck has already crossed the border.

 From the San Francisco Chronicle:

 For the first time under the North American Free Trade Agreement, a Mexican tractor-trailer crossed into the United States on Friday on a trip to the country’s interior, beginning a trucking program that has been stalled for years by concerns that it would put highway safety and American jobs at risk.

The truck hauling a large steel drilling structure on a flatbed trailer crossed the border at Laredo, Texas, nearly two decades after passage of NAFTA, which was supposed to improve cargo transportation between the two countries.

At a ceremony in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, before the truck set off for a Dallas suburb, the owner of the Transportes Olympic trucking company told dignitaries of both countries that he considers his fleet’s access to the U.S. interior like being invited to a friend’s house.

“We have to be extra orderly and very respectful,” Fernando Paez told about 300 people. “We will demonstrate that we can operate safely and efficiently.”

The driver of the Freightliner truck was Josue Cruz, who waved from the cab, flashed a thumbs-up and thundered toward the bridge over the Rio Grande. The truck was expected to unload in Garland today.

Paez’s company was first approved to operate in the U.S. interior under a 2007 pilot program that allowed a limited number of trucks before President Obama’s administration canceled it in 2009. Mexico retaliated by placing tariffs on a wide range of American goods.

 Give me a break.  Mexico is not America’s friend.  Trading with Mexico is not fair trade.  They are taking American jobs and what are we getting in exchange?  Illegal aliens and Cocaine?

Is it asking too much for the American government to start looking out for Americans?
