I doubt that the FAA allows any foreign airline that doesn't meet our standards to even enter U.S. airspace. If the Mexican airlines have to comply with our rules & regs, then why shouldn't Mexican trucking companies be required to do the same?
"In examining the records of violations for these Mexican operators, we found many cases where the same truck comes back over the border and is cited again for the same types of violation," Craig told WND.[Among the safety violations listed on the FMCSA database for the four carriers were multiple infractions for inoperative or defective brakes, faulty suspension, defective systems to secure loads, defective lighting devices, tension bars cracked and/or broken, axle positioning parts defective or missing, tires with less than adequate tread depth, various parts and accessories needing repair, inoperable required lamps including headlights and tail lights, wheel fasteners loose and/or missing, and defective power steering systems.]
Hundreds of safety violations documented for Mexican rigs 
will insure Mexicans are in your trucks. No need to cross the border... They will be here..
