Mexican Congestion


September 1st brought about new laws in the state of Texas. It changed several laws already in the books. Laws such as the right to protect your home (or the Castle Law), the right to carry a non-concealed gun in your vehicle and the law that allowed you to take defensive driving for speeds 25 miles p/hour above the posted speed limit, now it will immediately go on your record. But a new law that will affect the nation allows mexican truck drivers to drive freely through U.S. highways from mexico. With this law, only trucking companies that are F.A.S.T. certified (Free and Secure Trade)will participate in the pilot program. Also these companies must participate in the C-TPAT program (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. There will be inspections at every border entry into the U.S. which will be on the mexico side of the border. The same border which millions of illegal mexicans have crossed to come into the U.S. to escape oppression from the impoverished country that is mexico . The mexican truck drivers that will be coming into the states will not be able to speak or read the english language. Most of these same drivers won't be able to read the highway or street signs that is necessary and required for safe driving. From the many familiar stories of illegal mexican drivers involved in accidents in-which most of them are not licensed and insured just adds to the delima of them being here. But I suppose that these drivers are driving the routes that American drivers just won't do! Now who is looking out for the good of the American people? Yep, the same politicians that, unfortunately, we elected into office. Let's keep these men and women in mind when, during the next elections are held for their jobs, they are asking for your vote, let's send them down the F.A.S.T. path to the unemployment line.
