Mexican Trucks On US Roads
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters is finally joining the discussion over whether to let Mexican trucks onto U.S. roads. The debate over Mexican trucks has raged since the North American Free Trade Agreement was enacted in 1994. The treaty requires Mexico, Canada and the United States to open their highways to trucks from the other two countries. Canada was given access to U.S. roadways, but Mexico wasn't. The reason: The powerful Teamsters Union, which shamefully resorted to distortion and demagoguery in order to convince Democrats in Congress and President Clinton to violate the NAFTA provision.
