This might be a tiny step forward in moving those topics towards discussion of specific issues--Labor, unions, safety, environment---by REMOVING the implication of racism when ONLY "Mexican" is used in the thread.

For the record, the Mexican trucks that were allowed to proceed, DID perform well, all the way to NYC where they delivered their loads and back again with return loads. Since the courts had already ruled against obstructing the program, the successful runs knocked the feet from under those hysterics railing about their lack of safety and their inability to understand English traffic signs, now din't it.


And digression: With the Congress's renunciation of the Mexican trucking deal, leave us not forget that Shrub is not the first one to go back on the U.S.'s word, when one of his first acts was to reject Kyoto, and his other crap. The U.S. has a long history of crapping on its treaty partners, starting with the Native Americans on to the League of Nations and beyond.
