Mr. Speaker. the Department of Transportation has unveiled a pilot program that will permit poorly regulated Mexican traffic onto American highways. In its present form. the DOT proposal exhibits reckless disregard for Americas road safety. not to mention our border security and our economic interests. Under current law. trucks registered in Mexico can drive only within a narrow border zone in the United States before cargos are transferred to an American vehicle. This system not only protects U.S. highways from unsafe Mexican traffic. but it prevents drug smuggling and illegal immigration. and it safeguards American transportation jobs. But the DOT intends to halt this very sensible system. Under their pilot program.
