As Members meet and discuss the Department’s spending legislation, I am asking that they remove the restrictive language denying funds for this program. With a change of just a few words, Congress can show that we can trade with the world, keep our highways safe, and our companies competitive at the same time.
And screw the American workers all in the name of the almighty dollar or should I say Paso?

Dirtball I don't need your vaseline I found out years ago when dealing with dispatcher's one has to be prepared..What Mary Peters forgot to say is " what is good for the consumer really means is that somewhere as we are speaking another American will soon be jobless""... I only hope one day that the people of this country will start showing thier American pride and start supporting American owned and operated buissnesses..And most importantly those who employ American citizens..

I wonder why Sec. Tellez made no mention of the wages these truck drivers are going to be earning. Or how they plan to keep American drivers safe in Mexico. It's a common known fact that Mexico can be pretty inhospitable to American drivers. All you have to do is look at what happens to American Equipment that goes to Mexico and then comes back with bald tires and all sorts of other stuff wrong with it. I don't believe for one second that Mexico is ever going to let American drivers operate in Mexico. And if they do they will only do it once or twice before it gets too expensive and or dangerous. Just another way for Big business to cut the middle class off at the knees.
