Are Americans aware that Mexican trucking companies and drivers will soon be taking over the roads?

Question by Doc Adams: Are Americans aware that Mexican trucking companies and drivers will soon be taking over the roads?
I think if this plan works it won’t be long before American truckers will be forced to try to find work elsewhere.

Earlier this year, Congress ordered the Department of Transportation to launch a pilot program to study whether opening the U.S.-Mexico border to all trucks could be done safely.

The Teamsters and Sierra Club argued in their court papers the program proposed by the administration won’t yield statistically valid results and the public wasn’t given ample opportunity to comment.

“This is just more deceit from the Bush administration,” said Teamsters President Jim Hoffa, who said he was skeptical of administration claims that Mexican truck drivers will be tested for drug and alcohol use.

“How can that be when there are no drug testing labs in Mexico?” Hoffa asked.
This is not about illegal immigrants. This is about Mexicans paid by Mexican trucking companies. The drivers pay taxes to the Mexican government. They aren’t moving here, they don’t have to.
Maybe they’ll get it when they lose their own jobs.
