Ron I was kidding about the $0.05 rate. The dumps in California owned by Mexicans and working for CalTrans are not part of the Cross Border Program.
My comments have been aimed at the Cross Border Program only. According to government stats, only 118 units are certified in the program.
Obviously there are abuses in California, but I am only talking about the Cross Border Program.
I'd be curious to know if the same problems you describe are happening in other border states or is it a California thing. If it is, then something is wrong. But, if it is strictly a California thing, then they need to find a solution.

Mooney said: ↑How about we start with you and Jimmy Hoffa uses facts for your argument. The FACT of the matter is there are not thousands of Mexican trucks lined up at the border ready to steal all your freight. There are currently 118 units involved in the Cross Border Program. Why so few? because most Mexican carriers have no desire to run up north.
That's what I do.
I want the laws, as written followed. I want our Agreements with other countries honored, just as we would expect them to honor them for us.
And yes, some businesses don't deserve to survive, through bad business planning, poor budgeting or plain stupidity they will eventually fail.
Same goes for homeowners, if you bought to much house, lost your job or got sick tough ####! People have had all these things happen to them for centuries and never needed a "bailout" funded by the neighbors, without the consent of that neighbor.
You have no idea about "my situation", but I will say at one time I was broke, I was hungry and I lived "below" were I thought I should. Nobody bailed me out, I bailed myself out.
Tell that to Mr. Hoffa who thinks the law of the land only applies for the betterment of Teamsters. Thousands of people will lose their livelihoods due to the trade war with Mexico, but since they are dues-paying, it doesn't matter to him.
The Cross Border Program does not involve illegal immigrants.
I've shown statistical proof that since NAFTA the hourly wage of the U.S. worker has increased at a far greater pace than pre-NAFTA.
Uh, no.
Productivity doesn't count? Basic materials costs don't count? Financing doesn't count? Research and Development doesn't count? Energy cost and availability doesn't count?
This is the god ###### twenty-first century, we have steel mills running at peak efficiency with 90% fewer workers than were needed twenty years ago. Is that a bad thing? Should we not use new technology to simply keep as many people as we can working?
No, Joe Six Pack would rather go out drinking with his buddies after work than attend a community college course to learn a new skill. He thinks the company owes him a future.
American workers got fat and happy, and those that did not plan for a rainy day are the ones hurting the most right now.
Bottom line, all Americans are paying higher prices due to the fact that Congress has seen the "error of their ways", according to Jimmy Hoffa. So the anti-NAFTA crowd can drop this "We're all in it together" crap. They could care less about Americans who will be hurt by this trade war.Click to expand...I don't know what planet you live on but back here on earth things really are not as you see ém.
While driving I have seen the vacant factories. The small towns where there is no work.
I have seen places like the carpet plants in Georgia where American workers were replaced with cheap illegal labor.
Here on earth our stores are filled with products made with slave labor in 3rd world countries. These same products were once made in America!
OH! and here in America our traitorous harlots in Washington made trade deals that they had no right to make! Who gave them the right to destroy the territroial and economic sovereignty of the United States?Corperations own the politicians, the goverment, the media, and have turned this country into a fascist state.
For a free tour of earth get a CDL and get a driving job and watch ZeitgeistII addendum and ENDGAME.
OH! watch out for that KOOLAID, it has a h$%# of a punch! -
Mooney said: ↑If you think "The Man" is keeping you down, that's YOUR problem. Many people realize that their hard work and entrepreneurship is what will get them ahead. They don't blame anyone for their lot in life, but work hard to improve their situation.
Perhaps if people took a little more active role in their personal and professional advancement, they would be too busy becoming successful to have time for affixing blame.
If you are SO worried about Mexican trucks stealing your business, then maybe you should provide the kind of service to the customer that he would happily pay what you consider a fair rate.Click to expand...I have worked since I was in Grade school. I shoveled walks, cleaned yards, racked leaves, shoveled chicken crap on a farm. You know, the work Americans won't do! So your little self rightous silly little uninformed remarks have no bearing here.
Mooney answer me 2 questions if you will... What is your vision of how America should be? And do you support the North American Union?

Which by the way, is made up. -
Mooney is legally correct in his assessment....
The problem lies with Americans who now just accept whatever politicians tell them.
Americans are so sensitive to doing the "Right Thing'' they'll sacrifice they're future so they won't be labeled "racists"....
You all want this B.S. to end?
Stand up and don't accept the B.S. period.....illegals whether they come Mexico or England don't belong here...period....Take back your country before you're told to live in the likes of Manzanar.Red Fox Thanks this. -
Actually, the way for it to end is to stop buying foreign made goods.
