Why would a trucker on either side of the border hire an American and be bound by our laws when a foreign national can qualify if hired south of the Mexican border? If trucks from Mexico are not even stopped to check the drivers credentials. how long will it be. until. familiarity breeding contemptMexican shipments run back and forth across the border without being stopped at all. When that border effectively disappears. we will have accepted the addition of all of the Mexican States. plus the migrants through Mexico from the rest of Latin America. as part of our labor force. as our dependents. We will be going back to the future when half the United States was free and half slave. This time the slavery is poverty. ignorance and hopelessness sanctioned by a government over which we will have no control.
