In defiance of the will of the American people, the Bush administration is allowing Mexican trucks to travel far into the United States.
Last year, Congress voted to halt funding for this program. Yet, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration acknowledged that the program is still under way, adding that it has issued permits to 11 Mexican companies with a total of 56 trucks. The Department of Transportation is contending that the congressional action permits the current program to continue while banning any new programs. What nonsense, the intent clearly was to stop the current program and Bush knows it. Just like he has ignored the demands of American citizens to construct a wall and secure our southern border, now he's allowing foreign truckers access to our interior.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, Democrat from North Dakota, has called on the Bush administration to end the program immediately. Bush is not only a lame duck, but a loose cannon as well. He needs to be reined in for the rest of this term before he does more damage.
