Mr. Bush Says ‘let Mexican Trucks Roll’

President orchestrates unfettered access to U.S. roads for 100 poorly regulated Mexican trucking companies

PRESIDENT BUSH used an old sneaky trick in trying to allow Mexican trucks to roam the country at large, despite objections by Congress. He picked a Friday, Aug. 17, with Congress out of town to have the Transportation Department announce in the Federal Register (not everybody’s a daily subscriber) that the administration would proceed with a pilot project to allow 100 Mexican carriers to operate throughout the United States for a year.

Each carrier would turn loose many trucks on U.S. roads. The timing meant that half of adult Americans who read no newspapers and get their information only from the idiot box would be completely ignorant of Bush’s treachery. Newspaper readers would have to check closely and still many would find nothing on the subject. But the intended effect is for Americans to be unaware that Bush is proceeding with his plan to let Mexican trucks prowl the roads. Thus, Americans would not be bombing Congress with calls, email and snail mail to protest Bush’s action and demand that the Senate act on legislation that has already passed the House.

Note that the article mentioned 100 Mexican carriers and not 100 Mexican trucks. Each carrier could have many trucks.
