What is the difference Mexican/Candian

Thanks for your courteous comment.

I believe the number is closer to 12 million, half being Mexican.

That is the problem with this debate. Teamsters, OOIDA, Public Citizen and others, lacking anywhere close to verifiable proof of their claims, has used the immigration debate, the "terror" card and anything else that comes to mind in order to advance their agenda.

Notice how in this latest round, they've dropped back and only OOIDA continues to spew their special brand of garbage?

It seems the last few months, all OOIDA can find is stories about drug loads being busted, usually trucks driven by Americans.

And Hoffa has been unusually quiet until now, and his comments on the latest OIG report are totally off base and irrelevant.

I would be curious as to why you ### U ME that the Spanish speaking people in the supermarket would be illegal. Illegals, as a rule, are not entitled to government freebies such as welfare, section 8, Medicare or the other gimmes.

And if they are truly illegal, but with a baby, all they would be entitled to would be WIC for the baby, and personally, I wouldn't begrudge a child or a baby, anything.

But again, thanks for the decency you showed in your comment.

 

Unfortunately WCP, there are people fighting over the $.85cpm freight at there to the detriment of the rest of us. And not a ###### thing any of us can do about it as long as the mega carriers are in the game.

You have told that story before, and it seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Most of us on the border require interchange agreements anytime our equipment changes hands and we enforce the provisions on both sides of the border.

And again, I'm more or less an expert on what goes on along the Texas border. Kalifornia is a whole 'nother matter where things are done much differently than in the Lone Star

 

I thought you said Mexican carriers don't take cheap freight.....
Which is it?

 

What ???

Cigarettes are 20 pesos at the border. Slightly under $2 US. Even cheaper deeper in.

.87 equals about 9 pesos. Maybe more now.

.87 US is a LOT of money

Drive 2 miles for a pack of smokes in Mexico....or 7 miles in the US

Who's making more per mile????

The Mexican driver gets paid 10 smokes per mile, or 1 beer.

You get paid 3 smokes per mile....and NO beer.

 

I don't smoke so I can afford the beer......and a good carne asada burrito.....

 

Where do you find beer for .87 ??? On this side of the border?

 

well..I don't just drive one mile......
I'll drive just far enough to get my beer and my burrito.....Isn't that how it's done?

 

ever been to hollis oklahoma....... dollar general is a hirin....... hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
