Senate backs ban on Mexican trucks
By McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON - U.S.-bound trucks from Mexico hit a roadblock in Washington on Tuesday as senators stymied Bush administration plans to allow Mexican 18-wheelers to begin traveling freely into the United States as part of a 13-year-old trade agreement.

Citing safety concerns, the Senate voted 74-24 to join the House of Representatives in blocking funds for a Department of Transportation pilot program to lift current restrictions that keep Mexican trucks from going beyond a 25-mile border zone.

The funding prohibition would extend for the 2008 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, but the bipartisan display of opposition in both chambers of Congress raised doubts about the administration's ability to implement the program in the future.

You know I follow a lot of the Conservative blogs-- and comically its many of these right wing and conservative sites that are screaming at Congress to get off their butts and rein GW in....They think many of these issues regarding these border/ports issues, the foreign invader takeover, what they call his "nation building policy in Irag", the sellout of our country's industry and workforce to foreign interests, his erosion of the Constitution, his erosion of States rights by more federal mandates that usurp state powers, etc. etc. need to be challenged and overturned....

Both Liberals and Conservatives are calling for an overturning of the Patriot Act- which both believe are unconstitutional- and was passed in a height of passion two weeks after 9/11....

In my lifetime I don't think I remember a time when two so opposite of groups- the old conservative and the Liberals- both disliked and mistrusted a President so much.....

I guess that is what develops with "neoconservatism"....

Yep- neither side- Repub or Dem seems overly anxious to follow the wishes of the large majority of the people that have asked for Border Security....And I have to give credit to the Repubs like Tancredo, Hunter, and Paul that openly criticized and chastised GW for his policy....

But I'm sure this vote and GW's refusal to listen to the people can't be helping the Republican candidates either for Congress or for President--as 23 out of 24 that voted to allow the trucks to go unfettered anywhere in the US were Repubs- the other was an Independent....
McCain who claims he has seen the wishes of the people and at least vocally said he will support their wishes and support a secure border, missed his chance to show them and put his money where his mouth is-- was a no show...Craig also didn't vote-but I'm sure he has more worries than representing the public :roll: :wink: :lol: ...

I am not for the Mexican trucks but feel that Blaming Bush seems to have gotten habitual, as every thing that happens seems to get blamed on him...

maybe the "facts" should be looked at first, before the name calling and "blaming Bush"...

you have often chide Bush for "ignoring the law"... Now when he "doesn't break the law" you again blame him...

for him to stop the trucks he would be in violation of the law "signed by Clinton',.. and a court order...it is not for him to stop the trucks...it is for congress to change the law...

Background

In February 2001, a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tribunal ruled that the U.S. has been violating the terms of NAFTA because it has limited access of Mexican trucks to a 20-mile commercial zone along the border. NAFTA, which took effect in 1994, required the U.S. to allow Mexican trucks access to all border-state roads starting in 1995, and to drive anywhere in the country by January 2000.

NAFTA, signed in 1993 by the United States, Mexico and Canada, allowed Mexican trucks to eventually use a large portion of U.S. roads. Mexican trucks are limited now to commercial border zones, forcing long lines at border crossings and complicated transfers of goods being shipped from Mexico to the United States.

Under NAFTA, Mexican trucks were to have gained full access to U.S. roads beginning in 2000. But the Clinton administration, under pressure from labor and consumer groups, refused to grant them entry. Mexico successfully challenged the moratorium through a free trade tribunal.

so the Bush administration has two choices,..comply with the law and the tribunal ruling or.....wait until congress changes the law...so place your blame squarely on who it belongs...congress for again not doing their jobs...

Article I, Section 8, states, “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” Article IV, Section 4, states, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”

Our Constitution commands the President and Congress to Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders....

In Bush's oath of office, he swore to defend the Constitution of the United States-- the Constitution that is supposed to take precedence over any law passed by Congress or by the policy of any President...

And Congress did act- passing a law that said the trucks should not be allowed until the Administration could show they met safety standards and the drivers met competency standards-- both of which the Homeland Security just testified to that they don't have the manpower or ability to do..And they also testified they only had the manpower and the ability to inspect 1 in every 10 loads coming into the country--leaving the country wide open to more foreign invasion, illegal drugs, terrorists and terrorist devices, etc. etc.I could care less if Mexican trucks came into the country--if they could assure they didn't create a much greater hazard to the public-which they can't.....And I definitely don't think we should be taking the word of a country so rife with corruption and crime- that the American truckers and trucking firms don't even want to access it..

Mexico successfully challenged the moratorium through a free trade tribunal.

So you believe a free trade tribunal should have precedence over our US Constitution, Congress, or the safety of US citizens.... :???: Let them holler- what they going to do- take back a few million of their illegals :wink: :lol:

Or has Bush been lying to us about the terrorist danger? His refusal to close the border/ports to anyone walking in- inspecting only 1 in 10 shipments has cheapened (almost made a joke) of his argument that we have to keep fighting in Iraq to keep the terrorists out of our country....If terrorism is that big a threat (and I believe it is)- then why does he not do like 80% of the US population has asked him to and secure the borders- and track down the 20 million foreign invaders we already have in our country- how many of which we don't know are Muslim terrorists...... :???:

As a former military man I thought you would understand that whatever happens on your watch is your responsibility... :???: :wink: :lol:

neither this nor your first comments have anything to do with the Mexican trucks...

the fact is that Bush must follow the law..and unfortunately is..

and changing it to an illegal immigration issue or a terrorist issue doesn't change the facts either...

The fact is Nafta was signed into law by clinton... the tribunal was part of that law..

I don't like it either...but blaming Bush is not the answer...nor is changing the subject.

I say we re-impeach clinton...it won't solve it either but at least then we will have the right culprit.

The democratic controlled congress should "just fix the law".. then if Bush vetos it,..I'll help you tar and feather him..

I see Duncan Hunter has a bill that would "force compliance" with all our laws, and stop the Mexican trucks for decades...

The Senate vote to bar funding in an amendment to a transportation spending bill follows similar action earlier this summer by the House, which approved a provision by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. (Alpine), to stop the program.

In the House of Representatives, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow to announce the introduction of a NAFTA Trucking Safety Act. The bill is designed to clarify and strengthen current regulations imposed on Mexican motor carriers entering the U.S. beyond commercial zones along the international border.

"This legislation will ensure Mexican truckers are held to the same standards as their American counterparts," Joe Kasper, spokesman for Hunter, "If Mexican motor carriers cannot meet the same safety and security requirements as American truckers, then they should not be allowed to access our nation's roadways and communities."

Well apparently others agree with me that it is a National Security and war on terrorism issue- which should trump any trade deal at this time....Dr. Corsi has been trying to wake up the public to GW's sellout of the US for sometime--a sellout which goes much beyond just Clintons NAFTA.....It is nice to see 74 Senators also are beginning to see it.....
I have to commend Rep. Hunter- as being there he is right on the front line of our sell out of America.....

Author: Senate vote to block Mexican trucks from U.S. highways a good start, but...
(WebWire) 9/11/2007 9:17:11 PM


Los Angeles, CA (9/11/07) -- For Jerome Corsi, author of the New York Times bestseller "The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada" (WND Books, ISBN 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007), it’s ironic that, on 9/11 of all days, the United States Senate voted to block Mexican trucks from United States highways -- something that George W. Bush pushed hard to allow, overriding the desires of both the House of Representatives and millions of Americans.

"In his rush to allow Mexican truckers to destroy the livelihoods of thousands of American truck drivers, George W. Bush was quick to ignore the fact that Mexican trucks do not adhere to our safety and environmental laws," comments Corsi. "Even worse, he had absolutely no intention of demanding that Mexican trucks be inspected at the border, meaning that just about anything, including illegal aliens and nuclear bombs, could have been delivered anywhere in the U.S. without anyone being the wiser -- until we lost another World Trade Center."

And this is what I mean when I say acts like this dilutes his "need to fight terrorists in Iraq" argument--when he opens the backdoor to anything coming in....No wonder there are so many people that are confused or don't believe GW.. :( :( :mad:

I never said I disagreed with you on the Mexican truckers issue,

What Steve said...
I am not for the Mexican trucks,.. but feel that Blaming Bush seems to have gotten habitual,

I just disagreed with how you said it... and who you blamed for causing the problem...

National security and the War on terrorism should trump the trade deal... but the law doesn't see it that way.

But you can't honestly blame Bush for disregarding the constitution, Law, when factually he is doing just that, upholding the Constitution, and the law...and the trade agreement signed into law by Clinton..

Bush didn't open the back door...it was already propped open by Clinton before he left the white house...

unfortunately Bush is following the law...and congress must "fix the law"

Yep-- Congress needs to make use of NAFTA�s Article 2205:

A Party may withdraw from this Agreement six months after it provides written notice of withdrawal to the other Parties. If a Party withdraws, the Agreement shall remain in force for the remaining Parties.

And it sure looks to me like GW was using every excuse to kiss Mexican butts again- even when he knew he was going against the wishes of Congress and the American people...

The administration ordered the pilot program early this year, but Congress blocked it with a rider on the fiscal 2007 Iraq War supplemental bill (PL 110-28), pending a report by the Department of Transportation’s inspector general and a department response to that report.

The department issued that report Sept. 6 and triggered the program one hour later, said Sen. Byron L. Dorgan, D-N.D., who offered the amendment.

Dorgan said the department’s move ignored the inspector general’s finding that Mexican databases were insufficient to provide information about vehicle inspections, accident reports and driver records — “the entire guts of what you need to know if you’re going to ensure the safety of the American public,” Dorgan said.

Mexican trucks to haul freight on U.S. roads 8/2/2011

The agreement, announced last month by the Department of Transportation, is being assailed by critics as a possibly illegal undertaking that will take jobs from U.S. truckers and money from U.S. taxpayers. It is opposed by the USA's largest transportation union, the Teamsters, by a national association of independent truckers and by some federal lawmakers from both parties.

"We think it's unsafe, unfair and wrong for America," says Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. "It's a danger to highway safety. … It will cost thousands of trucking and warehouse jobs."

He says the agreement is "probably illegal" because it goes beyond the scope of an earlier cross-border trucking pilot program that Congress killed in 2009.

Data recorders on board

One aspect of the new program that has come under particularly sharp attack is a plan to install electronic on-board recorders — similar to a commercial passenger jet's black box or flight-data recorder — on each Mexican truck that participates.

The recorders will track truckers' movements within the USA, preventing them from illegally shipping freight from one U.S. city to another. NAFTA rules allow Mexican truckers to deliver only to one U.S. destination, then pick up a load from that destination or return to Mexico without a load.

The recorders also will detect Mexican truckers who drive more hours in one day than U.S. rules allow.

The recorders are being purchased by the Department of Transportation, a fact opponents criticize. "It is outrageous that U.S. truckers, through the federal fuel tax, will subsidize the cost of doing business for these Mexican carriers," DeFazio wrote to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. In an interview, he questions the wisdom of spending "thousands of dollars" for the recorders in difficult economic times.

The recorders cost about $2,500 each, plus operating costs, Ferro says. "Overall, we've budgeted $2.4 million, $750,000 per year for three years, to cover the cost of on-board recorders."

Hoffa says the agreement was sought by U.S. companies that have relocated to Mexico and now seek cheaper ways to ship goods north, He says it could cost "thousands and thousands of jobs."
http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2011-08-10-mexican-trucks-us-highways_n.htm

Isn't that the same Hoffa who pledged an army of support for Obama?

it should be easy to spot them...
mexican-truck.jpg








However, Herb Schmidt, president of Con-way Truckload, which has 3,700 employees, including 3,000 drivers, says U.S. trucking companies — which face a driver shortage here — could poach Mexican drivers who have already been properly screened and passed background checks. "Absolutely," he says.

,.. interesting. a Mexican trucker gets a free pas at the border.. and leaves that trucking job to take an American's job..

so not only do we have a whole new source of employees for corporations, but we will be stuck with a bunch of abandoned trucks...


Mexican cops bust 513 migrants packed in 2 trucks headed for U.S. border;

Police in Mexico nabbed more than 500 migrants packed inside two trailer trucks bound for the U.S., authorities said Tuesday.

The 513 migrants, from Latin America and Asia, were travelling in desperate conditions, roasting inside oven-like containers with small air holes punched in the ceiling during a marathon trek through southern Mexico.

that really should help our labor shortage as we can now direct ship them.. and in bulk..

Mexican Trucks Entering US Cited for 1 Million Violations

Inspectors from the Texas Department of Public Safety have found a million violations in trucks coming from Mexico into El Paso, Texas between 2007 and 2011

The statistics, obtained by Fox News Latino, show that between the fiscal years of 2007 and the first six months of 2011 the state completed 1.2 million inspections at the El Paso state facilities by the Bridge of Americas and the Zaragoza International Bridge. Inspections led to 1,004,213 violations including brake problems, defective lights, and flat tires.

According to the El Paso Times, the violations found by U.S. officials, many of them repeat offenses, caused 31,519 trucks and 625 drivers to be placed out of service during this time period.

not bad, 1.2 million inspections, 1 million violations..

I don't know Hypocrit-- what will it take to get ANY President of either cult to enforce border security :???:

The last President to do so was Eisenhower....Reagan signed into law the last Amnesty- which was supposed to make hiring an illegal a criminal act, but that he nor no President since him has ever enforced...The last election this issue was a toss up- as both were pro illegals- with both candidates having supported the Bush/Kennedy/McCain Amnesty Bill....

President Obama's Immigration To-Do List Is Almost Complete

By Bob Dane and Kristen Williamson

Published November 13, 2011 | FoxNews.com



Advocates for open borders and illegal alien amnesty must be pleased. President Obama has accomplished almost everything on their Wish List, short of a massive amnesty bill. But the president’s checklist achieves almost the same thing, of course without Congressional approval. Public demand for secure borders and interior enforcement has been ignored while Congress’s constitutional authority to regulate immigration has been simply bypassed.

To date, the scope of President Obama’s immigration to-do list is shocking and nearly complete:

Enact backdoor amnesty

- Accomplish administratively what is not possible legislatively.

- Issue new ICE memos radically changing deportation policies.

- Create clandestine interagency working group to review 300,000 pending removal cases. Use new deportation polices to justify dismissing most.

- Grant work authorization to illegal aliens allowed to stay.

- Focus enforcement only on violent criminal aliens. Release most others and suggest that immigration violations, in and of themselves, are of little consequence.

Intimidate every state that dares to enforce existing federal immigration laws

- Sue Alabama, Arizona and South Carolina. Threaten other states even thinking about enacting immigration bills.

- Claim federal preemption precludes states from participating in enforcement while simultaneously preventing federal authorities from enforcing the law. Create chaos and constitutional crisis when no one is allowed to do it!

Allow state and local law enforcement to thwart federal authorities

- Ignore Illinois, Massachusetts and New York efforts to stop participating in the Secure Communities program.

- Do not intervene in sanctuary cities that impede federal immigration enforcement.

Continue to push blanket amnesty in Congress


- Encourage Senate Democrats to pass the DREAM Act. Blame Republicans each time it fails.

- Include DREAM Act beneficiaries in the aforementioned new administrative amnesty policies – just in case the American public and Congress reject the bill, yet again.

Falsely claim that the border is secure


- Declare the border is secure, despite only 32 miles of the 700 mile double fence being completed.

- Scale back transportation checks at hubs along the northern and southern borders. Ignore national security implications of doing so

Allow illegal and legal immigrants to displace American workers

- Do not include E-Verify in any jobs or economic plans.

- Ignore 9 percent unemployment and continue blindly conceding to big business and tech industry demands for higher levels of legal immigration.

- End pro-active worksite enforcement operations except for auditing I-9s.

- Lift ban on cross-border trucking agreement with Mexico.

Yes, the special interests are quite pleased. Although this is not to be confused with being satisfied which they never will be until the United States abolishes all barriers to entry, all criteria for admission, and abrogates national sovereignty.

Congress must reassert its authority and responsibility to regulate immigration laws before the complete and permanent dismantling of all immigration enforcement becomes the final checked item on Obama’s to-do list.
