    Didn't Obama say while campaigning that he was against NAFTA, and all it entailed?

    Actually a few do roll here...
    They are "owned" by American companies based in Mexico...
    Drivers have dual-citizenship...

    This btw is prevalent for the dump biz in Cali...
    That's how these companies can run Super 10's for $45/h and low-sides for $50...even now...with fuel over $3/g....
    Driver's get paid minimum wage...And even at "bottom-feeding" rates...they can still profit...

    Not exactly...the CDTOA fought it and still does....And so did OOIDA....and still does...

    BTW...Clinton and Bush are no longer valid proponents in your argument...

    Obama is doing this to pander to the Hispanic community...nothing more....
