What will it take to get it thru GW's head that the people of the US want more border security-- and more stringent laws against the invasion of our country by foreign invaders-- not less as he keeps trying to shove down our throats...... :???:

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.
