The law under NAFTA Republicans Love to Blame the Clinton's, Swift Trucking acquired the first Trans-mex license to go legally from US to Mexico. Swift has close ties with Walmart. Walmart pushed the laws making $Billions, losing Billions for US workers including ports on both coasts.

Walmart's Mexico division, the largest outside the U.S. as of April 30, 2016, consists of 2,363[1] stores around the country, including 256 Walmart Supercenters stores and 161 Sam's Club stores. It has been traded in the Mexican Stock Exchange since 1977 (as Cifra).[2] Wal-Mart de México y Centroamérica is the biggest retailer in Latin America.

The company was founded in 1952 as Cifra by Jerónimo Arango. In 1991, Cifra and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. signed a joint venture agreement. This agreement allowed cooperation between the two companies and the opening of Walmart stores and Sam's Clubs in Mexico. In 1997, Walmart increased its stake by acquiring 51% of Cifra. Cifra was renamed Wal-Mart de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. Walmart again increased its stake in Wal-Mart de Mexico to 60% in April 2000.[3] After completing the acquisition of Walmart's operations in Central America in January 2010, Walmart Mexico changed its name to Walmart de Mexico y Centroamérica.
In 1999 they continued expressing their aggressive position: Following the implementation of NAFTA [North American Free Trade Agreement]; Grupo CIFRA initiates Mexico's first duty-free importation of fresh Canadian Beef from Biological Farm Management Systems (BFMS) Inc., an Alberta, CANADA export company.
As of December 31, 2015, Walmart operated 2,324 retail outlets in Mexico, under the Walmart Supercenter, Superama, Suburbia, Zona Suburbia, Sam's Club, Bodega Aurrerá, Mi Bodega Aurrera, Bodega Aurrera Express, and Farmacia de Walmart banners. As of 2012, the company was Mexico's largest private sector employer with 209,000 employees. Approximately one-fifth of Walmart stores in the world are in Mexico.[4] It competes with Soriana, Comercial Mexicana, Chedraui, H-E-B, Casa Ley, and S-Mart.

1. when pot is legal most of this nonsense will come to a screeching halt. grow your own all 50 states

[Journeyman]

3. And if nothing else, the government could collect import duties or other taxes on such a shipment...

2. At the time, I was more concerned with the loss of jobs to American Truckers.

I still am.

Legalizing Marijuana nationwide will be here in a few years, and smuggling pot will go away.

What we need is to raise the incomes of Mexican Truckers.

4. Has Clinton voiced support for full legalization? nt

6. Legalizing Pot would require legislation in Congress.

Marijuana falls under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. § 811),
The real question remains, how do we enact a congress that will do that.
Right now, we don't have one. Republicans feel all fuzzy about drug laws.

Since you ask, this is Clinton's policy on Marijuana.

Focus federal enforcement resources on violent crime, not simple marijuana possession. Marijuana arrests, including for simple possession, account for a huge number of drug arrests. Further, significant racial disparities exist in marijuana enforcement, with black men significantly more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than their white counterparts, even though usage rates are similar. Hillary believes we need an approach to marijuana that includes:
Allowing states that have enacted marijuana laws to act as laboratories of democracy, as long as they adhere to certain federal priorities such as not selling to minors, preventing intoxicated driving, and keeping organized crime out of the industry.
Rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule II substance. Hillary supports medical marijuana and would reschedule marijuana to advance research into its health benefits.

The DEA is already considering rescheduling "DEA Plans To Decide Whether To Reschedule Marijuana By Mid-Year"

Outright legalization under federal law would require congress. Senator Sanders and representatives Blumenauer and Rep. Polis have introduced bills, but neither the Hosue nor the Senate will move on those bills as long Republicans are in charge of those houses of Congress.

5. Why don't we just legalize pot and forget it???

If Oklahoma had the same law as Colorado our schools, roads and bridges would not be in the shape they are in and our prisons would not be full to the brim with people who don't belong there!

It is like prohibition it makes no damn sense.

7. Mexico’s New $900 Million Mega-Container Port

The Port of Los Angeles, the country’s busiest container port, faces an uncertain future. A $5.25-billion project will make the Panama Canal wider and deeper, allowing ships from China to bypass West Coast ports for deepwater ports on the US Gulf Coast and East Coast. Experts suggest that as much as a 
quarter of the approximately 60 million tons of cargo – nearly 8 million TEU’s in 2011 – Los Angeles and neighboring Long Beach handles each year could be diverted, shrinking both the size and importance of the terminals. But the canal is not the port’s only competition.

Talk about irreversible job loss, this is one of two new major ports in Mexico, WWIII we loose, China, Mexico and Russia would kill us, wipe us out with poisoned food to germ laden products in soup to nuts. China has taken what we had to win WWII, Manufacturing, we will all be speaking Chinese, Spanish and Russian by 2030, those that are not addicted to heroin or killed off in a war. The major part of all of are prescription drugs are not made in USA, another problem. Its not looking good we need to change or parish. Have a Good day.
