Hoffa: Mexican trucks are disaster for U.S.

WorldNetDaily: Hoffa: Mexican trucks are disaster for U.S.: “‘All we’re asking is that Mexican trucks and truckers meet the same standards as American trucks and drivers,’ Hoffa said. He cited the requirements in the United States for commercial drivers’ licenses, drug screening, physical evaluations, hazmat certifications, etc. ‘It’s a whole process to make sure he’s a safe driver,’ he said. But in Mexico, there are no databases of drivers with a history of recklessness and arrest, or even drug testing facilities, he said.

‘And can you believe they’re doing this on Labor Day?’ he said, calling it a slap in the face to American workers.

Also significant is the concern over national security, he said. There isn’t any way to adequately monitor the individual vehicles that will be representing the 100 Mexican trucking corporations expected to be involved in the program, he said. ‘This is kind of a conspiracy of big business,’ Hoffa warned, to create a scenario where there are no minimum wage limits and no requirements for safety. ‘They basically want to erase all the borders. This is big business that wants to be able to run stuff out of Mexico, which is much cheaper, into Canada and into the United States,’ he said. ‘All of this is being greased right now by big business.’ “

How many Mexican’s can you fit in the back of a Semi? I guess we will find out.
