This issue has been hashed out before on DU and the amount of misinformation is astounding.
This thread is a perfectly good example;
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=589673"Now that said did you know that there are Mexican trucks coming into our country with no boarder checks, no safety checks on the trucks and no insurance coverage?"
Nonsense. The carriers will be insured, the trucks will have "border checks" (i assume you mean Customs and Immigration) and the carriers in the pilot program will have all been safety inspected."What does that mean to you - think about what has happened to many people here in the U.S. when there is an accident and the person is here without papers and has NO insurance. They are sent back to their home country and they usually make their way back and the same scenario happens again."
More nonsense. If you drive into Mexico and have an accident, do you think they will just send you back north of the border without any questions? What makes you think a Mexican truck driver will be able to operate with no coverage in the US?The program being instituted is similar to the program the US currently has with Canada. Read up on the issue. If you still want to be terrified of the Mexican Truckers go right ahead.
BTW, welcome to DU.
