    I've seen these trucks - they are so obvious in any traffic, at least to another truck driver - they stand out like a sore thumb. JUNK. Words scribbled in spanish on the doors. I watch these "guys" driving - lurching in and out of traffic.
    I think the most irritating thing that Mexican drivers do - I don't care what kind of vehicle they are driving - is they instantly dive for the high speed lane and will sit there, going way slower than anyone else in that lane wants to go, blocking traffic, making people mad, and basically - making themselves a target.

    I don't care what anyone says, the REAL fight is going to start when a certain element of truck drivers gets fed up with this crap and start taking things into their own hands. It's only a matter of time before you start reading stories about dead or beat up Mexican truck drivers.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not FOR violence, but there's plenty out there that ARE. This is the worst idea ever conceived. Well, maybe not - that superhighway **** has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard conceived in the mind of ill-intentioned "people" I have heard in a long time.

    Time will tell.

    This is only the beginning. As long as NAFTA is "the law of the land", many more are guaranteed to follow. But, according to proclamations made by such luminaries as Henry Kissinger and Robert Pastor in 1993, NAFTA is only the beginning of a process. NAFTA was followed by the SPP agreement signed by Bush, Fox, and the Canadian PM in 2005. NAFTA was expanded by the passage of CAFTA, followed by the Ecuadorian and Peruvian "Free Trade Agreements". Construction of the NASCO Supercorridor ("NAFTA Superhighway") is already underway. The port-of-entry, which is soverign Mexican territory, is located just outside of Kansas City. These are not "conspiracy theories"; it is happening. Unless more Americans stand-up and demand that NAFTA be repealed, much more of this insanity is sure to come.
