no idea how many canadians here illegally,, i didn't realize we were fighting over them being mexican professional drivers not coming into united states and make a delivery.. vs its ok for Canadian professional drivers to drive right through.

Why? Because we think these professional mexican drivers who may make a decent wage vs mexican standards and have a family in Mexico may abandon the fact they have a good job and stay in united states.

i doubt that is the problem. the fight is over jobs, teamsters want to keep the jobs in the union and control who drives the trucks and loads the trucks etc.

I have to assume since they may never have fought the battle up north it is too late an issue or canadian drivers are already represented by teamsters in canada.
