Mexican Trucking

I want to touch base today on something that has happened in San Francisco. In their normal socialist way of doing things, the 9Th circuit court of San Francisco has ruled against a temporary injunction to prevent Mexican long haul trucks from operating in our country. In the past, when trucks carrying cargo for the U.S. from Mexico came to the border, they had to switch their loads to truckers from the United States who then would transport the cargo to it's final destination in the United States. Now, that is no longer the case.

The current political administration has to comply with an order given under the Clinton Administration stating that their would be a one year pilot program where Mexican trucks will be allowed to transport cargo all the way to it's final destination in the United States. There were several organizations who were trying to place a temporary injunction against this until the entire process could have serious national oversight. The organizations in this were the Teamsters and the Sierra Club and consumer group Public Citizen . These organizations should be praised for their efforts in trying to prevent this.

I know some of you will be asking why is this a bad thing? After all, it will mean that we will get our cargo more quickly and with less costs. Well, that may be true in the short term, but in the long term, the economic implications are too lengthy to discuss right now. But to be sure, I will be readdressing this subject in more detail in the future. The way I see it, we can either continue along this slippery slope towards invisibility or we can start taking back our country from these communist who wear Judges Robes. Earl
