Senate Votes To Ban Mexican Trucks

The Story

The Senate voted last Tuesday at a 74-24 margin to ban Mexican trucks from U.S. roadways. The idea was proposed by Sen. Byron Dorgan, a Democrat from North Dakota, who apparently gets it.

Bush's ideas of sucking up to Mexico in any possible way he can will only set us up for trouble somewhere further down the line. There is no way of knowing if the trucks that are on our highways now are completely safe, so for senators like Cornyn from Texas to say that he would "never allow an unsafe truck" on the highways of America is absurd.

Hey Cornyn, if you are truly acting on what your preaching, how come all the stories of truckloads of unknown and at times dangerous people being brought across the borders into your own state? Who is really checking to see if these trucks are safe or not?

I'd bet the same people who until last year claimed that there wasn't a border problem.

Yeah can't you just feel our safety level?
