Mexican Trucks

Bush administration officials held a news conference with Mexico's transportation secretary yesterday to respond to criticism of a program allowing Mexican trucks on U.S. roads, but critics in Congress who helped pass counter-legislation are unmoved.

"It is difficult to understand how a program that opens our roadways to virtually unregulated cross-border vehicle traffic can be safely regulated," said Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter's spokesman, Joe Kasper, in a WND interview.

Which brings up a question:

We have had two really bad accidents lately involving semi-trucks. The one thing nobody is telling us is... who were the drivers?

The absolute blackout on this information makes me suspicious that there were Mexican trucks and/or Mexican drivers involved, and a part of Bush's drive to open our borders and roads to these unregulated and uninspected vehicles and drivers.

Maybe so, maybe not. But I wouldn't be surprised.
