Mexican truck traffic will compound the danger on US highways. Most Mexicans drive like maniacs. If the public would again yell bloody murder to this NAFTA action, congress would be forced to act or lose their jobs in the next election. The trucking program is scheduled to begin Thursday. In court papers filed this week, the Teamsters and Sierra Club argued there won't be enough oversight of the drivers coming into the U.S. from Mexico. They also argued that public safety would be endangered in a hasty attempt by the government to comply with parts of NAFTA, which were negotiated and signed during the Clinton Adm. The trade agreement requires that all roads in the United States, Mexico and Canada to be opened to carriers from all three countries. Canadian trucking companies have full access to U.S. roads, but Mexican trucks can travel only about 20 miles inside the country at certain border crossings, such as ones in San Diego and El Paso, Texas.
