MEXICANS' TRUCKS DEBATE * USA
* White House presses Senate to allow Mexican trucks - Stalls bill passed by House that would block program permitting rigs in U.S.
Grants Pass,OR,USA -WorldNetDaily.com -June 14, 2007: -- In an effort to ensure Mexican trucks will begin rolling across the U.S. on schedule, the Bush administration is pressing the Senate to not take any action on a bill passed overwhelmingly by the House that essentially would block the project... The only remaining step required is for the DOT inspector general to confirm that the regulations published by FMCSA meet the safety and security requirements specified by Congress...

* Coming: Low-Wage Truckers

- How long will it be before non-union, low-wage drivers replace most of our hard working, decently paid truckers?
The spiral downward for middle America is well underway -- all for the profit of Bush's masters, the mega-transnational corporations.
Who is on your side in the nation's capital?
