"SAN DIEGO - Dozens of truckers rallied at Mexican border crossings in
California and Texas Thursday to protest a pilot program to allow up to 100
Mexican trucking companies to haul their cargo anywhere in the United States.
Carrying signs reading “NAFTA Kills” and “Unsafe Mexican Trucks,” a few dozen
protesters circled in the heat for two hours at Laredo’s port of entry on the
U.S.-Mexico border. "
Taking safety into consideration the economic tangle that exists between the United States and Mexico means that it is just natural that Mexican truckers be allowed into the country. If we hold the right to block Mexican drivers from the US, they would then have the right to block American drivers from Mexico. There is no reason to assume drivers from Mexico are less safe than those from America. transferring cargo at the border would bring commerce to a halt.
