On the surface it seems ridiculous to just allow unlicensed third world drivers into this country, and not only that, allowing them to drive 18 wheelers which are dangerous enough when driven by licensed drivers on our highways. But it is even more ridiculous that drivers go down to the border and drop off their trailer and return to Chicago or wherever without a cargo. A huge waste of money.

Pro, my original comments were about your description of solutions. Sanctions as a force to attain a goal do nothing if they are not enforced. I don't have any sense of the scope of problems vs solutions at the Mexican border. I think I have a good idea of the problems, but not the scope. But sanctions must be created with care and applied equally. Poorly thought out rules can many time do nothing to solve problems and are in themselves worst than the cure. tom watson tosiwmee
