The White House is urging the Senate not to take any action on a bill that passed overwhelmingly in the House. Members of the House passed the "Safe American Roads Act of 2007" on 15 May by a count of 411 - 3.
It is Bush's intent to allow Mexican truckers full access to US roadways. "Whatever it takes, the administration is going to make sure that Mexican long-haul rigs have free access on U.S. roads before George W. Bush leaves office," said Todd Spencer. Spencer is the executive director of the "Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association".
Great, first we have illegal immigrants invading the country, now we will have Mexican truckers clogging the freeways, and you thought that the freeways were crazy before.
*Edit/Update*
The Teamsters are going to sue to halt this program.

This isn't new. Bush has been urging Congress to allow Mexican trucks full access to American roads and highways for three years.
Unfortunately, he's got a real soft spot for Mexico. I don't get it.
I hope this dies a painful death. Living as I do on the border here in SD, I can smell a Mexican car or truck from a mile away, they are the ones spewing forth vile noxious fumes and playing blaring polka music. Oye Vey the polution.
And here it is again! Whoooopee!
