    That's a typical American attitude, close the borders, I don't know how that got interpreted into an American/Canadian thingI was not just talking about taking American loads, I was talking about loads in general, What I was trying to say that my rate per mile has not gone up in all the years I have been driving, and that imigrants who come over here don't know any better and will haul for very low pay.

    By the way Canada and Mexico are your biggest trade partners, so closing the borders is going to have an effect on your economy.

    Yeah, close the borders. You stop sending us produce, we'll stop selling you oil and lumber. You can take the extra produce and produce green energy! Actually, the way things are going, I wouldn't be too surprised to see the Obama administration jump at that.

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across that this is how I think of all Americans, it is just that some ignorant people think that way. Most Americans I know are very nice, intellegent people. Of course there are ignorant people everywhere.

    Your right LilDevil, you just can't fix stupid and stupid has no discrimination when it comes to nationality,race,ethnicity etc..... Plenty of stupid ignorance in all races and nationalities of people. Good thing there's plenty of good ones too though.:biggrin_25525:

    Canada and Canadians have always returned the favor...

    Canadians who want to immigrate, at least wait their turn and they are inoculated; most at least have a high school education; and possess one or more valuable skills to contribute to the US economy...
    Can't say that in regards to the bulk of the illegals who jump the fence from the south....

    The abilties to pull weeds; pick crops; bus table; or dig a ditch doesn't add up to much....... :biggrin_2554:
