This article is just one in a stream about the government about to let in Mexican trucks to the US. Bush just signed an executive order last night allowing it.
This is a huuuge problem. For one thing, there is no effective way for us right now to check that many trucks, so they can effectively bring in anything they want (including drugs). For another, this poses a huge danger; mexican trucks haul up to 120,000 pounds, whereas 80,000 is usually the max for US trucks. That means that mexican trucks will tear apart our roads. And there is much less regulation in Mexico for getting a license to drive a semi. You can have a history of reckless driving and still get a license. So, not only will these 120,000 pound trucks be tearing up our roads, but fatal accidents will drastically increase.
Not to mention that this is a further erasing of our borders.
